Hi! So, here’s a little fact about me. I love hosting parties! I usually throw Friendsgiving, a Christmas party and Daniel’s bday party, but this year I thought it would be fun to do a Valentine’s party with all of our friends. I was initially going to make invitations and send them out, but I didn’t have time. Kayaking was way more important. (Link to Kayaking post here) It took me a week to plan and prep for this party. I literally didn’t go to bed until 1 or 1:30 every night well morning. By Wednesday I was a hot mess. Poor Daniel had to deal with me being a scatter brain! For this party I wanted to play games, eat good food and have a lot of treats that were all catered to the Valentines theme. The first game that came to mind for the V-day party was of course the newly wed game. Everyone who was there is married or engaged so I thought it would be fun and appropriate. For food I instantly thought of Olive Garden so I recreated their Fettuccine Alfredo. Someone brought bread sticks from Olive Garden and someone else recreated the salad from there. It was so good. I’ll have to share the quick and easy recipe with you one day. Okay, now for the treats. I love candy and treats so much! I got a fondue recipe from my sister-in-law that is amazing! Then I got strawberries, pineapple, pretzels, vanilla wafers, bananas and angel food cake to dip it in. Guys, the angel food cake is to die for with the chocolate fondue on it! If you haven’t tried it you need to. It’s life changing! I also made chocolate chip cookies with Valentine’s M & M’s and white chocolate popcorn with sprinkles. Here’s some pics from the party. I had so much fun making everyone’s Valentine and place setting.
