Valentine's Day Origin

Valentine's day is February 14th of every year. The holiday started as a recognition of St. Valentine, but has grown to become a holiday without religious connotations.
Savory
-
Valentine's day party foods do not have to be sweet; they can be savory. Romantic is the key phrase when thinking about the day, so consider cutting your foods into heart shapes. A simple romantic meal featuring steak is a staple of a special Valentine's day.

Sweet
-
Sweet Valentine's day party foods can be as simple as decorated cupcakes or as large as decorated cakes. Chocolate is generally a staple for Valentine's day; create your own chocolates for an original take on the box of chocolates.
Candy
-
No Valentine's day party would be complete without the simple snacks that have become a tradition. Candy conversation hearts and candy necklaces are fun ways to bring that fun nature of Valentine's day to a party.
Gifts

If you are hosting a Valentine's day party, consider giving a gift as a party favor for guests. By using a small basket or gift bag, you can give each guest a fun bag to take home. Consider small, store bought candies and store bought Valentine's day cards for a nostalgic touch.
