Who says Valentine's Day isn't a holiday for singles? Make Valentine's Day sweet for everyone by hosting a Singles Mingle Party with flirty games and risque-themed nightstand stations.
Think spin the bottle and chocolate fudge body paint to complete this sultry soiree and put guests in the mood for amore, and maybe something a little bit more.
We invite you to visit our Valentine's Day page for more romantic ideas. If you're getting together with friends, may I suggest my Sensuous Wine Tasting Party as a way to celebrate February 14th?
Happy Valentine's Day!
- This is a surefire way to get people chatting, laughing, or rolling their eyes.
- Use classic lines like, "What sign are you?" and corny ones too, "I'm calling the cops, 'cause you got fine written all over you."
- Write the phrases on self-adhesive nametags for guests to put on when they arrive.
- Set out a few blank tags for those who want to compose their own pick-up lines.
Examples:
You're so sweet, you're mama must have poured sugar all over you.
Did it hurt...when you fell from heaven?
Excuse me, but I think I dropped something...my jaw.
I didn't know angels could fly so low.
I'm sorry, were you talking to me? Well, please start!
Stand still, so I can pick you up.
Is it hot in here, or is it just you?
Do you have a map? I keep getting lost in your eyes.
I've forgotten my phone number. Can I borrow yours?
Wouldn't we look great together on a wedding cake?
These cookies will take you back to elementary school Valentine's Day Parties where an innocent crush was conveyed with little candy conversation hearts.
Hand guests a cookie heart right when they walk through the door to warm their heart with fond memories.
Move your furniture out of the party room into a home office or garage to make room for the beds.
Set beds against the walls with plush pillows on top and place the risque nightstands nearby. Choose the same solid color linens, such as red for Valentine's Days, so the beds match.
Place a tray on the bed so guests have a place to set their snacks and drinks.
- A jar of fudge and a collection of thin paintbrushes is all you need to bring out the amorous artists in guests.
- Place the fudge and brushes on a plate along with a stack of cocktail napkins and set them on the nightstand for all to be playful.
- Strip chocolate anyone? This board game promises a deliciously decadent time for more adventurous partygoers.
- For those who are a tad less bold, set up a game of edible checkers by replacing the game pieces with chocolate candies.
- M&M's offers custom printing, so your words can be stamped on their candies. It's easy to order online, choose your colors, and have your personal message printed on the actual M$M's for a Valentine's Day party or any occasion.
- Affix a label with the words "Spin Me" on the bottle's side.
- Players sit in a circle on the floor with a bottle on its side in the center.
- A player spins the bottle, and whomever the bottle points to when it stops receives a kiss by the spinner.
- Although many fancy themselves to be "great kissers," it never hurts to make sure! Andrea Dermijian's book, Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About One of Life's Sweetest Pleasures, will let you know if you have the perfect pucker.
- Check out Andrea's New Year's Eve and Holiday articles on the art of kissing here at Celebrations.
- Fill the last nightstand with silly items related to kissing.
- A ceramic frog will attract the single women holding out for a prince.
- A selection of flavored lip balm, one for each guest, will soften lips ripe for the kissing.
- Mints will ensure that everyone's breath is kissing sweet.
