Super Sweet Valentine’s Party

Super Sweet Valentine's Party

This adorable “I Heart Valentine’s Day” party is by the very talented ladies, Maureen and Adria, from Anders Ruff Custom Designs. This party makes me so happy! Don’t you just want to jump right into the pictures and be apart of this party?! Or even better eat the wonderful sweet treats on the table.

Maureen and Adria designed the fabulous printables and used them throughout the party (available in their etsy shop). Not only that, but there is also so much great DIY inspiration to be found throughout this party – a few of my personal favorites being the use of wrapped/decorated boxes to act as serving trays for some of the treats, the heart favor boxes that were created from a template (also available in their printable collection), and the fantastic heart garland that was hung in a scallop shape from the front of the table. They punched the hearts out of the printable papers from their collection. Too cute!

I think they did a marvelous job designing this Valentine’s Day party with kids in mind! The style of the printable collection is fun, festive and perfect for both the young and young-at-heart. They used mixed glassware for their main serving and display pieces. Apothecary jars of varying heights and styles were displayed at the back of the table, along with a large, glass beverage-dispensing jar. Wrapped boxes with ribbon wraps were used to plate some of the small finger desserts.

Fabric was used as the table backdrop, and they made some Pink Paper Plate polyhedrons and hung 3 (equally spaced) above the dessert table. So creative! Aren't they amazing? I bet these would be a fun project for kids to help with too!

Now let's talk about all the sweet treats found throughout this party! The cupcakes were topped with fondant hearts and sparkling sugar, and heart shaped and circular lollipops were stuck into a paper wrapped styrofoam box. White, Pink and Red Chocolate Truffle Pops were placed in cute liners and embellished with hearts from their printable collection. They set these on a tray of heart shaped sprinkles. Yum! Not only was there cupcakes and truffle pops but adorable sugar cookies from Allyson Jane.

And we can't forget about the candy throughout this party! The Kisses were labeled with circular stickers on the bottom, and mini Chocolate Bars were customized with printable candy bar wrappers. There was also lollipops, cotton candy, red hots, and marshmallows on the dessert table. No sweet was left out in this super "sweet" party.

A big thanks to Maureen and Adria for allow me to share their fabulous Valentine's party with you. The Printable “I Heart Valentine’s Day” Collection can be purchased at Anders and Ruff Custom Designs etsy shop. The collection includes loads of designs to make your Valentine’s Day a special one, whether you are celebrating with your sweet heart or making it special for the kids and it is suitable for everyone from the first-time hostess to the advanced crafter.

Happy Valentine's everyone!
