One of the most fabulous parties we have ever attended was a Valentine’s Day party where the hosts turned an ordinary event tent into stunning venue for a spectacularly romantic couples evening. The hostess assigned each couple their very own table of two, set simply with a red cloth, elegant china, votive candles, and a lovely duo of chocolate truffles. Not only did the hosts provide an amazing dancing band but surprised us all with a real show stopper, a night of laughter with Las Vegas comedienne, Rita Rudner, world famous for her sweet-as-pie delivery of shrewdly hilarious observations about relationships. Definitely, a Valentine’s Day we will always remember.

Here are a few ideas for creating a special evening of your own.

Elegant Return Address
The custom embosser is all about sophistication. Now you can easily add some elegance to everyday stationery or as an elegant alternative to having your return addresses printed on your party invitation envelopes. They also make wonderful gifts. You will be surprised at how often you use your new embosser.

♥ Stamps
Personalize your stamps by using zazzle custom postage. There are so many ♥ images we just chose a few samples to display so scroll through all the images to chose your personal favorite. Before purchasing any postage, please be sure to bring a complete invitation, including all inserts, to a local post office to determine exactly how much postage is required. If you decide not to customize, please do not mix stamps. It is better to add too much postage than a hodge podge of mismatched stamps. You have spent so much time and money on every other detail, the difference in price is not worth giving a sloppy first impression.

Bright Hearts and Scrolls for Lovers

♥ Table Linens
Festive Hearts! With this theme your linen options are limitless. Your final decision should be based on two factors: the physical characteristics of the event room and your guest of honor’s personal style.
Party Idea Pros loves are all the looks created in these BBJ Linen photos. Each one was better than the next, so simply choose your favorite or scroll throught their photo gallery for more inspiration.

If you want to save some money, use a classic solid linen or most venues will supply complimentary white or cream linens. Either will work — personally, I would match your cloth color but you might also consider red, white or pink napkins. Likewise, if you are hosting a romance theme party at your house just stick with white, red, pink, or black linens. Place mats can also work, and to tell you the truth, individual sheets of scrap booking paper work great and are adorable. Choose any solid colored paper or choose a print: Ribbon Candy, Cupcakes, Goody Goody Gumdrops. If you are feeling creative and have lots of time, you can even create a layout highlighting your Valentine. If you hare having a larger party, use your place mats as place cards by creating a page for each of your guests. Laminate the page and tie with personalized ribbon for a complete favor anyone can enjoy.
…
Just a note on chair covers: chair covers may not be necessary if the chairs supplied are fairly neutral and in ok condition. In fact, I tend to not use chair covers at any of my personal parties. Having said that, if your budget permits, the overall look of certain rooms is enhanced if chair pads are used. Choose one of your accent colors.
…
If you are having a fairly large party, don’t forget to include your place card table, your gift table, buffet tables, and any ceremonial tables when determining your linen count. Also, if you chose to use more ornate linens, do not use them for the cocktail hour; they will have a greater impact as your guests enter the dining room.

♥ Jewelry
Party Idea Pros generally does not highlight jewelry but we recently came across a chic new designer who whose unique gemstone collection is a perfect way to memorialize this special day or for that matter, any day:
…
“Gemstones are the spirit of the earth frozen in time. For thousands of years, gemstones have been treasured for their power to heal, energize and inspire. The design, stones and metal all empower you. The artful combination of these elements reflects your spirit and is yours forever.” Tamara Alter
…
Our favorite collection of Tamara’s is her Healing Hearts collection, created in honor of Tamara’s dear sister Stefanie who passed away at the young age of 43, after a brave and courageous fight against Ovarian Cancer. All profits from the Healing Hearts collection goes to The High Heals Foundation whose mission is to raise funds to develop methods for early diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer and aid in the discovery of a cure through research, advocacy and education.
…
♥ Queen for the day
If you really want to go way, way over the top, consider renting real diamond jewelry for the day. I am fascinated by this concept. Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it. How much more sparkly and glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!

The Best Love Stories of All Time
In the mood for a great love story? Check out Reader’s Digest picks for the ten best timeless love stories.
Books in which man meets woman, man woos woman (or, woman woos man) and man and woman live happily ever after are a dime a dozen. Enjoyable, for sure, but not what you’d call memorable. So, the editors at Reader’s Digest have come up with a list of 10 favorite, and timeless, love stories, each of which goes above and beyond basic romance.
…
1. The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough (1977)
Set in 1915 Australia, this remarkable saga chronicles the forbidden love between a beautiful, headstrong young girl and a priest. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll stay up way too late reading this fabulous story.
2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë/Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (both 1847)
Really, how can you pick one Brontë over the other? Who is more romantic, Heathcliff or Mr. Rochester? Whose moors are mistier, whose foggy English countryside is more moody, whose manor house is more creepy? It’s a tie — both timeless romances are not to be missed.
3. The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje (1992)
Haunting and beautiful, Ondaatje’s award-winning novel tells the story of four war-damaged souls living in an Italian monastery at the end of WWII, and the love story between two of them, the exhausted nurse Hana, and the severely burned unnamed English patient. Unforgettably unique.
4. True Believers by Nicholas Sparks (2005)
The latest 4-hanky love story by the master of sweet, heartwarming romantic tales. This one features a hotshot New York journalist and a plain-speaking Southern librarian, both of whom have been hurt by love before. Their differences are forgotten when love blossoms in this wonderfully escapist romantic read.
5. The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles (1969)
A Victorian gentleman is engaged to a wealthy and suitable woman, but when he encounters a beautiful, mysterious woman rumored to be the forsaken lover of a French lieutenant, he becomes utterly smitten. Truly magnificent entertainment.
6. Chesapeake Blue by Nora Roberts (2002)
Passion abounds in this romance set on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where the rough-hewn Seth Quinn wins over Drusilla, the town’s icy beauty. Great characters, great dialogue, fun and steamy scenes. True, Roberts has written a gazillion love stories, but this one is a real standout.
7. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro (1989)
An aging butler named Stevens, who has performed his job to perfection for more than three decades, reflects on his life. But underneath his controlled exterior lurks a passionate and romantic soul that has been quashed during his years of unblemished service. In the twilight of his life, Stevens learns what love is all about. A fine literary novel.
8. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (1877)
Trapped in a loveless marriage, Anna Karenina succumbs to temptation and embarks on a dangerous affair with the handsome Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds amid the canvas of 19th-century Russia, in the most famous of doomed love stories. A memorable and enduring classic.
9. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (1991)
A powerhouse time-travel romance, this is the first in Gabaldon’s hugely successful series. Strong, beautiful Claire Randall leads a double life, married to a man in one century, with a lover in another century. Filled with humor, passion, wit and wonderful Scottish scenery, this is one fast read for a 600-plus page book. Enjoy the wallow!
10. Follow the Stars Home by Luanne Rice (2000)
If you choose the wrong love, can you save your life from ruin? Years ago, thirtysomething Dianne married the wrong man — the sexy lobster fisherman — and not his kindly pediatrician brother. Years later, after tragedy strikes, can she reverse her bad fortune? Grab your tissues and find out in this touching weeper.

♥ Sign in Boards & Books
Sign in boards and books have become a staple at many celebrations. If you wish to allow your guests to leave a special keepsake message consider creating a board for your party entrance or simply provide a beautiful book to commemorate the occasion. We here at Party Idea Pros prefer sign in books. They are easier to store and less likely to collect dust in the basement or garage.
…
Sign In Boards
Canvas print (20×30) Sign in Board
Use a digital picture … be sure to chose a large white border. Hot glue rose petals or hearts around the canvas.

…
Sign in Books
This personalized name keepsake book is beautiful and a less expensive alternative to a sign in board. Choose your color and follow the instructions. You might also want to customize your book with the guest of honor’s photo.

…
Photo Albums
Remember this special day for many years to come. Absolutely create an digital memory, but there is still an ease and something special about actually handling a photo album.
…
These three-in-one memory albums also make terrific personalized gifts, with room for the recipient’s name or date of birth. Each classic album has multiple cover space for photos, including two 3″ by 6″, two 3″ by 2 ½”, and one 5″ by 3″ images. The silver and wood album can hold up to 64 photos, at a 4″ by 6″ size, and features a hidden tray with multiple compartments for storing birthday trinkets and mementos.
…
Festive Heart Photo Albums
Hot Pink Scrapbook Hearts Binder
Photo Pages for 3-Ring Binders
…
This might also be a great opportunity to create “memory insurance.”
Hustle the box of photos out from under your bed and grandma’s bed and send them to GoPhoto to be scanned so the family can enjoy the photos forever! This would make an incredibly memorable Valentine’s Day present!
