A party on Valentines Day without games is like eating toast without butter or jam or apple pie without ice cream! In short, games at a Valentine’s Day party are a must! If you want to entertain your friends, spend time with your beloved or just pass the time, these games are just what you need!
At a Valentines Day party, games play an important role! They bring everyone together by entertaining and amusing your party guests. When everybody is having fun, they feel more at ease with themselves and their host! You do however need to pick the best games based on the age of your guests or you may not get the result you want.
For example, children’s games at an ‘all-adults’ party probably won’t work out very well or indeed adult games at an ‘all-kids’ party! Seems like plain commonsense I know, however if I have seen people make such silly mistakes and thought it was worth mentioning here. Assuming that your games are chosen for your party guests based on their age, here are some ideas for games to play to make a romantic and entertaining atmosphere at your Valentine’s Day party.
GameNo1: The Chin Game
This game can be a bit difficult to master but is also very amusing which is why it remains my top favorite. First, create a heart-shaped pillow or have somebody do it for you. Then divide the participants in five or six smaller teams and get each team to stand in a circle. The rule is that each group’s members must pass the pillow to the other team, WITHOUT using their hands!
Every team’s members should hold the pillow in-between their chins and chests and then pass it along to the next group in a similar fashion; the subsequent group’s members also have to receive the pillow in between their chins and chests. As you can imagine, this game offers some fun and amusing moments and is exciting enough to keep your guests very tensed up. However that’s not where it ends!
During passing the pillow, if it falls on the floor, the team member who dropped it has to pick it up WITHOUT using their hands! The game then begins from scratch once more! The group that is successful in passing the pillow from first to the last group becomes the winner!
NOTE: A variation on this game is to hold the pillow or chosen object between your knees only and pass it to the opposing team member using your knees. This can be lots of fun and create some hilarious moments.
GameNO2: The Guessing Game
Just imagine how fun would it be to keep your guests guessing the answer to something simple! Fill up a glass jar or other container with candies or any type or color – the smaller the better so that there are lots of them. Then, ask your guests to guess how many candies are contained within the jar. The one whose answer matches exactly or at least gets the closest to the true answer becomes the winner. As an added bonus, the winner takes away the jar full of candies (but must promise to share them)!
Before beginning the game, make sure that you know the proper answer by counting those candies beforehand. (You don’t want to look like a fool in front of your guests, do you?). This game will also be played with other types of foods like biscuits, cakes, etc. In case of biscuits, you may ask your guests to count the quantity of biscuits within the jar, while in case of cakes, you’ll ask them to guess its weight!
These Valentines Day games will brighten up any Valentines Day party and provide some fun and amusing stories to tell for weeks to come.

Plan your Perfect Valentines Day.
Let’s start with Valentines Day morning. The first thing you could do is serve your loved one breakfast in bed (if you are married or living together) or treat them to a fancy breakfast at their favorite restaurant. The food could even have a Valentines Day theme. Think heart shaped pancakes, strawberries and whipped cream, you get the idea. If you can adorn the table with flowers and candles it makes breakfast even more special. Or, spend a long morning in bed then go for a champagne brunch.
After spending as much time as you like on your morning meal with your loved one, take them on a mid-morning adventure like a horseback ride, bike trip through the countryside or walk on the beach. Think about their favorite activity and try to incorporate it. Also, when lunch time comes, take your sweetie to their favorite dining establishment and pay for anything they want. After lunch, cuddle in the park under a tree or do an activity like a Valentines Day photo jigsaw puzzle together.
When evening comes it’s time to amp up the romance factor. This might mean a five star dinner by candlelight, a romantic dinner cruise or who knows, maybe even a marriage proposal. All women love an excuse to get dressed up, so tell your sweetheart to wear her finest outfit so you can show her off. You may want to keep the dinner destination a surprise. And, even if you’re not proposing, this is a great time for gift giving.
You can exchange gifts at home, but it makes things more special (especially if you have a small gift, such as a piece of jewelry) to present your gift in a beautiful environment, with romantic candles and fine champagne, perhaps even soft music. After dessert is a great time to surprise your one and only with a gift. Even if you’re just dating you can never go wrong with a moderately priced piece of tasteful silver or gold jewelry. Whatever you choose to give, it will serve as a lifelong reminder of Valentines Day 2010 for you and your loved one. Finally, wrap up the evening with dancing, the theater or a romantic night at home.

Four Ways to make your partner feel special on Valentines Day.
What is Valentine’s Day all about? It is a day of celebration of love and romance. Now, how could you express your love to your sweetheart? There are many ways to do it. You can simply look at her in a romantic way to let her know about your true feelings towards her, or you can touch her in a soft, lovely way!
Whether you look at her or touch her, your eyes or hands must express your innermost feelings very clearly and convey to your sweetheart how much you love and care about them!
Many couples use Valentine’s Day as an occasion to demonstrate their love for their partners, which is what it should be like. Your partner may know that you love them, but how about stating it more explicitly so that there are no more doubts left on your partner’s mind? That is what you can do on Valentine’s Day. You can offer your sweetheart something really exquisite to make this Valentine’s Day memorable for both of you!
Some couples also use the occasion of Valentine’s Day to rejuvenate their somewhat ‘dry’ relationship. If you feel that the sparks of love don’t exist in your relationship any longer, use Valentine’s Day to bring back those sparks again! There are numerous ways to make your partner feel special on this day, some of which I am going to mention in this article.
1. Do something unique: On Valentine’s Day, do something unique for her, or buy her something really special! It could be anything from buying a bunch of red roses or a set of diamond rings, to simply preparing a fragrant, warm bubble bath for her. The main thing to note is that you should do something you don’t normally do, so as to surprise your partner!
2. Kiss her a love kiss: Kissing is one of the most common ways to express your love for your soulmate, and you don’t need a bedroom for that either! For example, let’s say that both of you are driving on a highway. You may stop your car half-way at a lonely place, loosen the seatbelts of both of you and plant a loving kiss on your sweetheart’s lips. Then take away your mouth so as not to suffocate her! Let her relax so both of you could become ready for another lip-lock!
3. Love letters: Don’t think that the good old love letters are passé; emails may seem to have replaced the old-fashioned custom of writing love letters, but no one said you couldn’t bend the rules! In fact, it is now even easier to win your partner’s heart by writing a sweet, romantic love letter to her because not many people write them nowadays owing to a rather hectic life!
4. SMS: Sending her a lovely SMS is yet another way to express your love. Make sure to make your SMS stand out from the hundreds of SMSs she maybe getting by telling something that she longs to hear from you. You could admire her beauty, her sensuality, or the way she carries herself off.
To make it even more special and strange, call her at a time you know she would be busy. That should really take her by surprise. Whatever message you send, be truthful and honest to yourself and your better half, for she is probably smart enough to catch a white lie

Cool Ideas on Using Flowers As Valentine’s Day Gifts.
Can Valentine’s Day be celebrated without flowers? Short answer is ‘no’. We cannot even imagine Valentine’s Day without flowers, especially red roses. Among all flowers, red roses remain my favorites because they are not only associated with love but are also able to fill any place with their exquisite fragrance.
Every year on Valentine’s Day, I usually send my wife at least a dozen roses; sometimes, even two dozen! As soon as I handover the roses to her, she cannot help but smile at me with her lovely lips!
However, if you are fed up with the same old-fashioned roses and want to buy something different for your partner, then there is help for you. Instead of buying conventional red roses, try the “Black Magics!” Black Magics are not only beautiful, but a class apart in their elegance; plus they look completely different from the conventional roses as their petals are of dark red velvet color. All in all, I personally believe that Black Magics are the only flowers which could match the elegance and beauty of red roses!
Some people prefer to send a mixture of different flowers to their sweethearts instead of just one. If you are of this type, your local florist should be able to help you select the best varieties and colors of flowers for this purpose. If you want, you can even send her a small plant with a blooming flower, or a flower basket. Or you can also buy her a tall vase containing tulips or Calla Lilies! All in all, there is no dearth of ideas if you want to surprise her with something extraordinary!
If you have decided on sending her a flower basket, I won’t recommend sending her an empty basket.. Have you heard of Gourmet Gift Baskets for Valentine’s Day? These gift baskets could contain anything and everything ranging from candles, chocolates, lotions, snacks, coffees, etc.
If she is an animal lover then you could even add Plush Animals to the basket; if she loves balloons then adding them is also an option. Make sure to put only those things in the basket which are either her favorites or you feel would please her; if in doubt then ask your local florist for ideas!
Thankfully you won’t have to carry the gift basket back home because most professional florists offer home delivery services if you order the basket ahead of time, at least a couple of weeks before Valentine’s day. To make the basket even more special, you can attach a romantic message to it!
Flowers remain on of the best and most affordable ways of celebrating Valentine’s Day. With the right ideas and flower arrangements, you really cannot go wrong! If you are a woman reading this article, note that men also love flowers as much as women do!

choosing valentine's day flowers For Your Lover.
choosing valentine's day flowers
* Which cut flowers last the longest vs. examples of some with shorter lifespans once cut.
* The Society of American Florists helps you sort out what the meanings behind flowers. Good thing too, because Valentine’s Day is the last day you’d want to give your sweetheart flowers that stand for distrust (Lavender) or friendship (pink rose) if you’re looking for something more than friendship. Not that Lavender doesn’t rock in a Valentine’s bouquet though – the meanings list is more fun than serious.
* Matching flowers to personalities – i.e. is your Valentine romantic, a trendsetter, or a nature lover.
* Learn how to keep holiday bouquets looking fresh and how to make cut flowers last longer.
* What various flower colors mean.
* Top five flowers sold in the UK and the U.S. for Valentine’s Day – what I find odd is that carnations made both lists. I worked for a wholesale nursery but we didn’t carry Carnations so I didn’t see them sell and I personally don’t really like them much, so I’m surprised to find out they’re so popular. Maybe because they’re long lasting, but man, in my opinion there are so many better looking flowers.
* When to order flowers – typically most flower shops say they can deliver up until Valentine’s Day even if you order at the last minute. But keep in mind, last minute flower shopping will cost you. Plus if you’re picky and want a special arrangement you really need to order before all the shops run out. At the wholesale flower shop I worked for you do not know how busy Valentine’s Day was. We’d get orders super early (months) and still we’d run out which means the shops we supplied to would run out as well – growers who supply to shops can only grow so fast. Basically the sooner you order the better for delivery. If you’re ordering and picking up from a shop, order early and pick up in the morning. Most flower shops get their flowers in early in the morning and/or make arrangements the evening before hand or early in the morning. So a morning pick-up may mean fresher, better looking flowers.
Inexpensive Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Her.
February 14th is an important holiday for most women, so each man will want to do something romantic for the special one in his life. Maybe there's not a lot of room in the budget for frivolities, or husbands and boyfriends would rather do something for her a little more unique than the typical flowers and chocolate. With a little thought men can come up with a low-cost (or no-cost) holiday that will still put a smile on her face.
Valentine's Day Gifts That Don't Cost Anything
Many men assume that their partners expect them to spend money on a present, but they may be surprised at the appreciation they receive on February 14th by choosing a present that is free. While many women appreciate the store-bought gifts, the extra thought that goes into these may be more meaningful to her.
* Leave notes that she will find throughout the day expressing appreciation for things she does. Leave them in the bathroom, her car, and on the coffeepot. The more notes, the more appreciated she will feel.
* Stay up late the night before Valentine's Day and surprise her with a clean house. Even just tackling some dishes, laundry, and general clean-up will make her Valentine's morning special.
* Husbands who are the sentimental type could write out some memories they have of the time they've been together, and how she's made a difference in his life. So much better than a store-bought card!
* Wash and vacuum her car. Most women spend a lot of time in the car. If a husband can make this area of her life a little less cluttered she will appreciate it.
* Time! Women all have things they love to do but don't take the time to do them. Give her the gift of time by freeing up her day to do whatever she loves.
* Catch her off guard by doing something on the honey-do list that will make her life easier.

Some Great Ideas for Celebrating Valentine's Day.
Every relationship that man is a part of is based on the true emotion of love and care, be it between parents and children, siblings, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, or friends in general.
Valentine’s Day, celebrated throughout the world on February 14 every year, is a gala affair of love and cheer. It is that special day of the year when lovers try to do something exceptional for one another to show how much they mean to one another.
History of Valentine’s Day
Though Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many parts of the world with lots of fervor and excitement, not many know the history of this day. There are many tales about Saint Valentine and his maiden greeting to his beloved. Some say that Valentine was a priest during the reign of Emperor Claudius II who defied the king’s orders by performing secret marriages for people in love and was thus killed by the emperor.
Another legend says that Valentine was killed for helping Christian prisoners escape from Roman prisons. The most popular version, however, suggests that Valentine sent the first Valentine greeting to the girl he fell in love with while in prison, signed “from your Valentine,” an expression that lasts to this day.

When it comes to buying valentine day presents for a long time girlfriend, you may need to reach deep into your inner creativity.

Valentines Day Gifts for A Secretly Admired Girl
When it comes to shopping for a girl you have had a crush on for a long time, you will need to consider how she feels about you before you make any moves. If this girl has been your friend for a long time and you want to use Valentines Day to announce your love for her: great! Just make sure there is a possibility that she may like you back. You don’t need certainty here, but she should be single and she should never have told you that she doesn’t like you. Now in this case you know the girl and you should be able to find a gift that speaks to her. If she likes a certain type of treat, for example exotic fruits or Godiva chocolates, get her those. If she prefers CDs, DVDs, notebooks or decorative things, opt for those. Now in the case that you have been secretly crushing on a stranger girl, you might need to guess at what she likes. You can always opt for the traditional valentine day candy hearts, some chocolates and a nice “Secret Admirer” valentines day card. Just be sure to put your name if you want her to know it was you who gave her the gifts!

Now in this case you know the girl and you should be able to find a gift that speaks to her. If she likes a certain type of treat, for example exotic fruits or Godiva chocolates, get her those. If she prefers CDs, DVDs, notebooks or decorative things, opt for those. Now in the case that you have been secretly crushing on a stranger girl, you might need to guess at what she likes. You can always opt for the traditional valentine day candy hearts, some chocolates and a nice “Secret Admirer” valentines day card. Just be sure to put your name if you want her to know it was you who gave her the gifts!

How to love????
How to love???? Love is a strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world, or it can really hurt, but in the end love is something most, if not all of us, will face. While there are many different ways to define love and there are many different ways to love someone (even yourself), here is a general guide to loving. Steps 1.Say it. When you say the words "I Love You",they should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not what you simply want to feel. When you say it make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person. 2.Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, try to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well. 3.Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If your interest is not in the other person as such, but rather in how that person can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, or allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them as they are, and not who you want them to be, then you are not striving to love them unconditionally. 4.Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for the sake of love. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you, do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way. 5.Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love. Don't make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under undue pressure and will likely result in you losing them. Tips 1.It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else's love, even if they do not love you. However, to truly love someone, you must left them be free.It is selfish to blame them for your feelings. 2.There are many types of love, for example: a mother-son love is different from a best friend's love, which is different from a romantic love. Don't be ashamed to tell anyone that you love your friends as much as you love anyone else in your life. 3.You have to find someone that will suit you, someone you feel comfortable with - not just someone to make love to. 4.As a word, love can be found worldwide and is often used to describe compassion and/or emotional attachment. Accepting those you love for who they are is part of love. You also need to learn to accept yourself before you can accept another. If you cannot love your self, how are you to love another? 5.Love genuinely. Do not compare your feelings now to what your feelings were when you were with another mate. At times, we can experience rejection. 6.Realize that love is a feeling that wikiHow can describe and attempt to assist, but ultimately, you are the one who must take action in order to discover love. 7.Do things that make the other person feel good, but do not smother them with gifts and attention. 8.Consider some tips about what people in love do. 9.People in love are sensitive to each other's needs, and endeavour to meet them even when they do not feel like doing it. 10.Men and women may be equal in value but different by nature. People who truly are in love give their mates "space" to develop their potential and find their fulfilment in life.Love does not brag. People who are truly in love refrain from rehearsing their good traits just to show off. Bragging in a relationship often is really defensiveness. 11.People who are truly in love do not insist that their way is best and demand that their mates give in to them. 12.People who are truly in love are considerate of each others feelings and courteous in their actions toward one another. Sadly sarcasm is a way of life for some couples. They ridicule each other, belittle each other and trade jibes with a fury. They may say it is all in fun, but it leaves wounds that will someday become festering sores. 13.People who are truly in love look out for their mates' best interests as much as their own. Those in love should be concerned not only about their own individual interests, but about the interests of the other as well. 14.People who are truly in love control their anger when the other displeases them. We are all human, and all humans feel anger periodically, but we only express our anger in destructive ways when we counting on someone else to meet our needs. 15.People who truly love each other do not take pleasure in their mates' disappointments or failures. 16.People who truly love each other treat their mates with absolute trust. Some husbands and wives torment themselves with groundless suspicions. If you look for trouble you will find it every time. 17.People who truly love look forward to their relationship growing more meaningful and precious. They have hope. Which is an attitude that happily anticipates the good. It isn't being blind and denies there are problems, but it does look beyond the problems. People who truly love each other do not allow their problems to rob them of their happiness. 18.Remember there is no failure in love, because once you tell somebody who you love, that you love him/her, then you have already succeeded in love. Warnings 1.You must love yourself before you can love another 2.There is always the risk of getting hurt, but that's part of letting yourself fully love and trust some one. Being hurt could be long-lasting and could hurt more than anything in the world. 3.Realize what you have while you have it, and care for the person you trust. 4.If something comes to an end, try to let go rather than holding on; it's for the best. 5.The idea of love is fueled by childhood fantasies. The love shown in movies, as obtainable as it may be, is rare to say the least. 6.You just may find your soul-mate sooner than you want to. 7.If you feel any doubt of love your partner has for you, make sure that your suspicions are grounded in reality. If you hurt your partner as a result of undeserved mistrust, he/she may end up doubting both your love for them and theirs for you. 8. Don't ask for love - you should receive love because your partner wants to give you love, not because you want it from your partner. 9.Do not force love - it will come in good time, it will come |
