A Crafty Valentine's Day Party

Valentine's Day to me is another excuse to throw a party. Sorry, not sorry! 😋

But a party to celebrate my guests: my kids, my loved ones, my friends...so a craft party is something we love to host 'round these parts!

Kids and grown up love getting stuck into something creative: making your own Valentine's Day cards, a gift wrapping party with your gal pals or simply creating something handmade, with love.

Yep, there's nothign we love best than a creative girly bonding session over glitter and glue!

So here are a few ideas to help you style and host a fun crafts & DIY party this Valentine's Day!

A crafty DIY party is a great way to entertain a crowd since the guests also get to make their own party favors to take home, so less work for the hostess! 😉

Whether you're hosting a card-making party or gift-wrapping afternoon with your BFFs, a crafts station with all the usual suspects like glitter, glue, scissors, cardstock, party printables etc is a must.

We LOVE the cute Valentine's Day craft kits from BirdsParty.fr and marquee hearts that you can customize (we now ship to EU!), which are perfect for all of the above projects, AND look super cute at each place setting, or as a cute favor for guests to take home!

Not to mention that this crafty kit is perfect for decorating the desserts table! 😍

Obviously, the food and drinks have to be tailored to your guest list and their dietary requirements. But in my book, you can't go wrong with cupcakes & champagne!

My go-to, quick and easy chocolate cupcakes with mascarpone frosting recipe can be found here, and it's perfect for this Valentine's Day party, served alongside pink champers! 

Serving fresh juices like in a mimosa bar, ensures you'll also be catering for the non-alcohol drinking guests. And if kids are present, then sparkling apple juice or milk are also great alternatives.

PARTY TIP: No time to bake? Why not turn your party into a cupcake-baking one?! A craft party can also be extended to getting creative in your kitchen! 😉
