Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Have you found the ideal party theme for you, your friends, or your kids? There are many out there, but you want it to be unique and something no one has seen before. Wedding and Party Network has an adorable baking themed party that will show your guests everything was baked with love.
Why not host a baked with love party? This is perfect for every age! So, what exactly does this party entail? Have your friends over to try new recipes that are inspired by Valentine's Day, love, red, and pink.
Party Details – For your party decorations, go all out in the kitchen since that's where you and your guests will be spending most of the time.
Find cute Valentine's Day table cloths, Valentine Day banner, plates, servingware, baking accessories, and don't forget about the cute aprons for everyone. These accessories will be all you need to complete your party look.
For the table, place a red or pink table-cloth on it and accent it with cute themed servingware and accessories. Don't forget to place an adorable floral centerpiece for an eye-catching detail and a cute banner over the table or on it. White servingware will definitely pop against the brightly colored table.
Look for servingware that has cute little bows or vintage prints. This will be a great place to display all the sweet treats you and your guests have baked.
Don't forget to spruce up the kitchen as well. You can find really cute kitchen accessories that are themed just for Valentine's Day, such as mixing bowls, spatulas, whisks, and kitchen towels.
Party Plans – You definitely have to do some planning for this party. For example, start planning out what you will be baking. Will you bake cupcakes, cakes, cookies, or candy? There are many options. Maybe settle on making two items. Start off by baking a cake or cupcakes and while they're baking in the oven, create some delicious candy.
Once you've settled on what everyone will be baking, now is the time to make sure you have enough supplies and ingredients. Be sure to have enough bowls, whisks, spatulas, baking pans, and enough ingredients for everyone.
Also, set up a decoration station as well. If you have cookies, cupcakes, or cakes that need to be decorated, be sure to supply icing, fondant, and sprinkles.
It would even more special if you could talk with your local bakery and have one of their staff members come over and teach you a few basics on decorating. Everyone would love that!
The only thing you have left to purchase is treat bags and containers so your guests can take home their delicious baked goods.
You can find adorable treat bags for cookies and candy and treat boxes for cakes and cupcakes. Don't forget the ribbon so they can tie everything up in a fun bow! Also, send the recipe home with them as well.
Start planning your Valentine's Day party now. You and your guests will enjoy spending a day together in the kitchen.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Now is the time to start planning the special details. There are many special date ideas or party ideas you can create for this holiday of love. Why not start the morning off right with breakfast in bed for Valentine's Day? Wedding and Party Network has a great party or even date idea that will make anyone's Valentine's Day start off right.
The Setup – Depending on if this is a date or a party will determine the setup of this party. If you are turning this idea into a date, all you really need is a tray to serve breakfast. However, if this is a party actually consider serving everything on the bed. The bed will serve as your table. You can hang party decorations over the bed, such as streamers, balloons, or banners. Add some gorgeous fresh flowers, heart pillows, and serve food on cute Valentine's Day themed trays. These items will complete your party look.
Also, if you're making this into a party theme, tell your guests to come over in their pajamas.
"Love" Themed Food – There are many types of breakfast foods you can serve for this party. Again, if this is a date, serve her or his favorite breakfast food. Heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes, strawberry french toast, coffee cake, granola, or breakfast strata. Whatever food you choose, make sure to put a fun Valentine's Day themed twist on it. Add strawberries, cherries, or red and pink food coloring.
It's really easy to create these party or date for Valentine's Day. Plus, it's a great way to start the day!

The holidays are over, so what's next? Time for a breather or you can go ahead and start planning a rockin' Valentine's Day party! Planning a Valentine's Day party is stressful. You may be unsure on what direction to take with your party, such as, you may want to get away from all the love and romance and just make it fun. Well, Wedding and Party Network has a party idea that is fun, out-of-the-box and everyone will enjoy it!
Party Theme – When you think about this holiday, you immediately think of love and romance. Some people aren't a fan of this holiday since they don't have a significant other in their life. However, it's fun for everyone! Invite your closest friends over and host a Rockin' Valentine's Day Party! This theme takes a different take on this holiday by throwing some rocker accents into the party.
Rockin' Party Decorations – Think guitars and rock and roll. However, keep it within the holiday colors, like red, pink, white and purple. Don't forget to add some black into it though to give it that rocker edge. Feature a sign with a big guitar, banner with edgy font & designs and incorporate it mainly everything you can. Also, instead of soft colors, choose bright hues.
Fun Party Food – Of course, you can stick with the appetizers you normally serve at your party. Vegetable platters, dips, meat and cheese tray, mini sandwiches or fruit trays are all great items to serve at your party. It's all in how you present the food. So, for this party, choose brightly colored platters and create little guitars with the name of the food printed on it.
Now dessert is where you get creative. Feature brightly colored cupcakes with guitar toppers instead of a party cake. Also, you know those candy hearts that come around during this time a year? Use that concept for sugar cookies and place cute sayings like, "love rocks" or "you rock." Don't forget to incorporate some guitar-shaped cookies in with it. Have cake pops and spell out words with them or even colorful drinks with fun heart straws. There are so many creative food ideas out there, just remember to incorporate Valentine's Day, a little rock and roll and display it in a fun way.
Say Thanks – Don't forget to say thanks to your guests. Find little mailboxes and decorate them with guitars and saying for your guests as a little Valentine's Day mailbox for all their cards. You can even suggest that your guests or the children bring cards for everyone to exchange.You can even have a candy bar and let your guests fill up their mailbox with lots of goodies.
Activities – For the children, let them decorate their own cards or mailboxes. Now for an activity that everyone can enjoy, set up Guitar Hero or Rock Band. The adults and children will love doing this activity together.
Instead of focusing on romance, host an event for everyone that is absolutely rockin'!
