Valentine's Decoration For Your Valentine Day Dinner

A few weeks ago, I was at an intimate dinner and I was thinking that the menu could be perfect to use for an Valentine Day dinner. These valentines decorations ideas could be perfect for just two of you, or for an intimate gathering of four or six people or more.

As with all special occasions at the time, we were treated to delicious appetizers and special martinis. A great method to incorporate Valentine's decorations to you Valentine Day dinner is to serve a cosmopolitan cocktail as the signature drink of the evening. Change the name of the martini to a sweetheart-tini or perhaps a romantic-tini. The colors and ingredients make this drink an ideal combination for the holidays. (For other recipes for specialty martinis look at pages 87 and 88 of the Budget Bash.)

What I enjoyed most about this meal was the décor. Actually most of these decoration suggestions are easy to implement and will transform any dining area into a romantic space effortlessly and at a low cost.

Valentine's Table Decoration Ideas

Why should you invest in special tablecloths? One Valentine's day decoration idea is to buy red satin or red velvet fabric, and then drape it over your table for a pretty overlay. Create your own table runners using or both of your fabrics.

Other ideas for table decorations you can use for Valentine Day dinner include creating an easy but fun and fun floral centerpiece using red fruit and blooms. The centerpiece is comprised of crab apples as well as red roses and strawberries. Be aware that strawberries attract insects, so it is not advisable to incorporate them into your outdoor centerpieces. Probably it's best to place them in smaller indoor parties with the centerpiece placed set on the table for dinner. (For other ideas for DIY floral centerpieces , refer to the section on floral decorations of Budget Bash.)

In this evening's dinner the hostess was able to provide at each table-setting, romantic love quotes. She made use of black and red construction papers, glitter, and red ribbon as decorations on these notes. These quotes were printed onto the red construction paper, and later put on the black paper to create background. The notes were then decorated with rhinestones and ribbon. You could utilize these quotes for other events you throw.

Simple table decorations for Valentine's Day and other holidays are to place red votives for the table and hanging them from the chandelier in your dining room (if it has one). A lot of craft stores sell already-made hanging votive holders. all you have to do is to place an opal candle inside!

Include Valentine's decorations on your table like the red butterfly that you can see in the picture above or perhaps blend and match flatware, china and glassware. It is always possible to purchase some gold chargers for a reasonable price and reuse them throughout the holiday season of December.
