Valentine’s Day Party Ideas

By 2 Comments

 

 

So the Superbowl has come and gone (and oh what a game it was!). Next up? Valentine’s Day! Over in my neck of the woods (a little Al Roker shout out there) I’ve been prepping for this “sweet” holiday for weeks thanks to a few posts I’ve written on other sites. Gotta stay ahead of the game in blog/internet world!

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately:

First up, I’m showing easy ways to spice up your Valentine’s table over at Homes.com.  

You can see the full post on the above link, but for now here’s a few photos so you know what to expect! All of these ideas take little time and are seriously SO cute!

Over on Momtrends, I did a Valentine’s Day photo shoot and used my BFF’s Kalle’s adorable kiddos as the models. They did a WONDERFUL job and I think they had fun too! In addition to baking with the kiddos, I also feature a yummy cocktail so head to the above link to check out the full post in all its glory! Brands featured were: Foodstirs, Sweet Scarletts Grapefruits and Susty Party!

More Valentines Day Ideas + Glitter Galore!

Happy Friday and also hip, hip hooray for a long weekend if your company or school is off Monday (ahem, Jackie Fogartie Events most definitely is off).

So clearly I have Valentine’s Day and looooove on the brain because I’ve got another cute Valentines Day post for you. This time you’ll have to head over to the fab gals at Bon Bon Rose to see the full post, but here’s a quick preview of what you can see over there.

I gave some easy tips for dressing up store bought cakes and cupcakes for Valentine’s Day like making this garland to add some cuteness to a plain jane cake:

Now listen. About this glitter I mentioned. Have you heard about this company that will send your enemies a “glitter bomb?” Seriously. There’s a company in Australia that will send anyone you want an anonymous envelope full of glitter for only $10. How hilarious is this? The perfectly named “Ship Your Enemies Glitter” website explains it all in hysterical, profanity laced detail. Apparently the website is so popular that it basically broke because so many people were trying to place orders. I am totally for this, it’s a non-violent way to tell someone you’re not their biggest fan. New world-wide slogan:

Make glitter, not war?

This is particularly funny to me, because for my Gold and Glitter Party, I sent out pieces of glitter in the envelope as part of the invitation. It was a real point of contention between my sister-in-law and favorite party-thrower-partner because she’s really neat (neat as in clean) and I’m really…less neat. So I told her one day when I’m really mad at her (which will never happen) I will send her a glitter bomb which would be literally her worst nightmare. #sisters #familylove

I’m uber excited for next week here on the blog because I’m featuring my last 2014 wedding and this couple is gorgeous! It’s going to be semi-creepy because I will just go on and on about how gorgeous and fun this couple was….just to prepare you! Happy weekend!
