How do you host the best Valentine’s day party ever?

To reduce stress and overwhelm when hosting a Valentine’s Day party, I’d encourage you to start with these three things:

1. Who to invite to your party
2. Where to host the party (will it be indoors/outdoors or at your place)
3. When to host the party (the most convenient date for everyone)

Start planning 2 weeks ahead to set a date that most of your guests (family and friends) can come.

Here is the order of how I would host the best high school party:

1. Pick a date and time
2. Jot down your guest list – Who’s coming to join the fun?
3. Pick a theme – Keep scrolling for some seriously cute ideas—you’re gonna love them!
4. Send out invites – Text, email, or go old-school with cute cards…just get the word out!
5. Make a shopping list – Write down everything you’ll need to pull this off.
6. Plan the food – Cooking up a storm, ordering in, or hosting a potluck?
7. Decorate your space – Go all out! Bonus points if you rope in friends or family to help—it’s more fun that way.
8. Create a killer playlist – Music makes the vibe, so line up some tunes to keep everyone in the party spirit.
9. Set up your space – Final touches, party prep, and maybe sneak in a little taste-test of the snacks.
10. Party time!
