Whether you’re single or a smug-married, no-one can escape the fact that love is in the air with Monday 14th February fast approaching. St. Valentine’s Day is often used as the perfect romantic backdrop to marriage proposals and weddings, with red roses, heart balloons and all things red being bought in their crate loads.

If you don’t want to spend hours trying to find a restaurant with an available table a deux, then why don’t you throw a party instead? Adorn your house with red love tinsel curtains, table confetti and balloons, and invite your guests to dress in shades of red. Alternatively, you could theme the night around famous Romcoms. Maybe a bunny girl will turn up from Bridget Jones’ Diary, or a theatrical performance may be on the cards a la When Harry Met Sally. Who knows?

Play some games like ‘Who Am I?’ Attach a romantic actor/actress/figure’s name/photo to your guests backs and see if they can guess who they are by the end of the evening. Better still – tell your guests who they are before the event and everyone can stay in character all evening and guess who each other are. Queen of Hearts, Cupid, Beauty, Jennifer Aniston, Chris De Burgh, and Mr. Darcy…the list is endless. Don’t forget your schmooze love songs. Span the decades with great love songs including Love Me Tender, Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You, Especially for You, She’s Love You.

Transform into DJ Love for an evening and give yourself an excuse to get all mushy. Ahhh!
