With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, many are wondering what they will do to celebrate the day. Many prefer a quiet celebration, still others choose a multi-generational raucous celebration and some will have no one to celebrate with through whatever kind of separation. Whether alone, quiet with your significant other or at a rowdy children’s party, the day is a day of joy.
Perhaps this is the year to start a new tradition. Offer to hold a “princess” tea for the little ones while allowing their parents a night alone. Have fun at the dollar store and have plenty of princess “bling” for the girls or change up the theme and let them be pirates or superheroes or astronauts. If you can add an etiquette lesson to the festivities, all the better.
Invite someone alone to share a tea with you. If she is widowed, remembering happy times with her spouse can be very therapeutic. A gift of a fancy handkerchief or a journal would be nice. If you have photos of you and your special someone sharing good times with her and her loved one, a framed photo or a photo album would be a wonderful addition. If she is alone because hubby is out of town on business or in service to the country, perhaps a diva theme, a funny movie, or your own costume party can make the event fun. Invite other girl friends to share in the fun.
Wait, you say. Valentine’s is a day for lovers. There is no reason that you and hubby can’t have a romantic tea. Candles, chocolates, a little romantic music, some wine and even a romantic movie can add to the event.
For some assistance with any of these ideas visit Tea Party Girl at www.teapartygirl.com. Have a wonderful and memorable Valentine celebration!
