Heart Party - Kara's Party Ideas

This MODERN VALENTINE’S DAY PARTY was submitted by Bird of Bird’s Party. I love how bright and cheerful this party is! It’s also fun to see a Valentine party that strays from the traditional red and pink (even though I can’t get enough of that either!).

Some of my favorite elements of this unique, modern Valentine’s Day party are:
The wooden peg dolls painted to match the party colors
The milk bottle printable wraps
The cake pops adorned with fondant hearts
The colorful ribbon garland hanging on the front of the dessert table
and MORE!

Here’s what Bird had to say about planning the party- “I was feeling a little tired of the overly pink and red Valentine’s Day designs. So using my new Modern Valentine’s Day collection, I created a unique Valentine’s party. I utilized the small surface and multiple levels of an old dresser for my dessert table. The stunning ribbon garland from A to Zebra Celebrations really helped to ad color and texture to the ensemble.

Sweet treats on the dessert table included homemade cream cheese cake pops, fuchsia, yellow and blue French macarons, vanilla cupcakes adorned with wrappers and cupcake toppers and a homemade passion fruit cake topped with the most adorable peg dolls from Craft That Party, as well as assorted candy in the colors of the party.

Favors included a little Valentine’s Favor Box from Bird’s Party printable Collection, filled with Hershey’s Kisses.”

How perfect is this LOVE LETTERS DESSERT TABLE / HUSBAND BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Shevi of Little Wish Cakes?! Shevi styled this party for her husbands birthday! Such a sweet message.

Shevi said- “This is a table i put together with a lot of love for my husband (who will be celebrating his 39th in a few days). He is also leaving on a short trip (work related). Since moving to Australia, this is the first time, he is going to be away. As much as we are happy for his progress it does sadden me and my kids. When we were first dating 15 years ago, being young and from very conservative backgrounds we were not allowed to date. Our only consolations were the letters that we wrote each other. Then after we got engaged again he had to leave for a year to another country and guess what got us through – “Love Letters”. Now as he gets ready to embark on his next adventure, I thought the best theme would be ‘Love Letters” for the table I was putting together for his birthday. He also loves the colour red! My main aim was to create something beautiful that would not cost much. Therefore most of the details and decorations are handmade. The back drop is made out of paper serviettes scrunched and glued in the shape of a heart on a hessian covered board. I used old books from the op shop for the heart cut-out on the streamers, for the tray liners, around the cake and on the name tags. I used coir – a type of natural fibre to wrap around tin buckets which were used as flowers pots. Brown paper was used as backing paper in the picture frame trays. The cookies were in the shape of envelops – sealed with a kiss. And the cupcakes had little love messages written on them.” Vendors and Credits: Party Styling, Cake, Cookies, Cupcakes, Irish Cream Liqueur, Streamers, Table cloth and Name tags- Little Wish Cakes Photography- Amara Ritchie Photography Macarons- Eugene’s Patisserie The below items used in this party are available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop {click on the item}: Rock candy sticks Jute twine Burlap & ribbon Doilies Apothecary Jars Glass milk bottles
