Singles' Awareness Day Party Ideas

Secret Valentine, Secret Santa Style

All ladies, especially single ones, want to receive something on Valentine's Day. Why should women with boyfriends or husbands have all the fun? I attended a wedding a few years ago where the couple requested that no one give them wedding presents because they were taking a year-long trip around the world and settling down in a different country afterward. Instead, they had the guests buy small presents with a love theme, gave a spending limit, and threw a reception where everyone ended up exchanging gifts with each other, Secret Santa style. This idea can be easily transferred to a Valentine's Day party. Invite a few of your single gal pals, set upon a theme (love/heartbreak/nothing to do with love or heartbreak), put a max-min spending limit, and go nuts. This year, you WILL get something on Valentine's Day. [Photo via]
