Romantic Valentine's Day Tea Party

And up next... This beautiful ROMANTIC VALENTINE'S DAY TEA PARTY submitted by Sharon Pardon. Is that ruffle cake not the cutest cake ever?! I love the delicate cupcakes in the tea box as well.

Here is what Sharon said about the party-- "I was inspired to do this Valentines day table. I didnt want to do the typical tradtional colours of red and white, so went with pink and blue. I like to think its a high tea romantic valentines day. I also love prettiness, and being that valentines Day isnt huge in Australia I wanted to make it feel softer."

Rose Themed Valentine's Party

I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday! I just had to share this lovely ROSE THEMED VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY submitted by Virginie Marchi of That Cute Little Cake this evening. I hope you enjoy!

Here's what Virginie said about her party-

“Creating this party table was the perfect excuse to throw a party ! I chose to keep it small and went for the traditional red and white colours. I added dark brown to the palette as chocolate treats where in my opinion a must have for Valentine's day.

The theme was to be roses so I made two cakes: a chocolate mud cake covered in glittery roses, and a red velvet cake with piped white buttercream roses.
Other treats included vanilla panna cotta with rasberry coulis, chocolate brownies, red velvet cake pops and Bailey's cheesecakes. Decorations were all homemade too including the paper roses hanging ball.”

Cupid's Post Office - Valentine's Day Party

And now, the cutest CUPID'S POST OFFICE VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY submitted by Debbie Messmer of Wants and Wishes.

Debbie said- “I wanted to share with you my Valentines Day Collection! My theme was Cupid's Post Office. There are 2 parts to this party.

First was the dessert table that was filled with sweets and treats that were cupid worthy, and then, a Valentine station.... aka Cupid's post office... where the kids made valentines and "delivered" them to everyones mailboxes.

Since Cupid's post office was our theme we incorporated a lot of postal items, including candy bar wrappers that look like envelopes, post cards, and stamps. My favorite is the '5 things I heart about you'. The favor toppers were square like a postage stamp and had the seal of 'delivered from Cupid's Post Office' on them. Also, we included hearts and arrows throughout the collection, seen on our shot through the heart brownies and arrow garlands. We created arrows out of paper straws and the arrow points and heart were "feathers". They are included in our Valentine collection. Very easy and fun to make! This would be a great activity to do with all the kids. We had fun heart boxes that you could fill with treats, and a little note. My favorite part... well one of my favorites is our heart cupcake toppers. They are 3 dimensional heart pockets!!! Fill with candy and a little note to send some love this Valentine's Day on top of your cupcakes! We have also attached the heart pockets to a boxes and twigs, then filled them with candy and love notes that the kids could take off the tree. We are having '14 days of how to use our printable Valentine collection' for your Valentine's starting at wantsandwishesdesign.blogspot.com.

For Cupid's post office we created a red and pink stripe awning to invite the kids in to sit and make their valentines. The back drop was a hand drawn chair rail and paneling on butcher paper and red and white stripe wrapping paper as the "wallpaper". We strung garlands, rick rack and mailboxes from the awning. We wanted a spot where the kids could create their valentines. They had an array of containers (boxes, paper bags and clear bags), candy, and valentines to make, allowing them to create a special valentine for each one on their list.”

Be Mine Valentine’s Day Party

The next Valentine’s party feature goes to this sweet 'BE MINE’ VALENTINE’S DAY PARTY submitted by Amber Lyden of Party On Designs. Check out the tulle pom garland tutorial below! Such a cute party.

Amber said- "We wanted to create a buffet-style setting. It's great because the shelves gave height that normally can be difficult to create using a standard table.

DIY- How to make a Tulle- Pom-Pom Garland

1. Purchase tulle already in 6" rolls. You will need about 25 yards to complete 8 poms as shown.
2. Wrap your hand with the tulle, gently, about 10 times. The looser you wrap, the easier it will be in the next step.
3. Remove the band of wrapped tulle from your hand. Holding it together so it will not unravel.
4. Tie with a thin ribbon, wire, or fishing line. Double knot in the center.
5. Cut the loops on both ends
6. Fluff the loose ends by basically twisting side to side. As you do this a few times, you will see they will turn into balls. The more you do this, the fluffier it will become.
7. Once you have your Tulle Poms - use a needle and thread to string it and VOILA!"
