Super Simple Valentine's Day Celebrations

Don’t have plans for Valentine’s Day yet? Don’t worry – here are a few simple, but cute ideas you can do to ensure you have a fun and festive Valentine’s Day at home with your family.

Movie Night: Enjoy popcorn on the couch after dinner and enjoy one of these classic love stories: The Princess Bride, Be My Valentine – Charlie Brown, Little Women, Beauty & the Beast, You’ve Got Mail, Shrek, Tangled, or Gnomeo & Juliet. 

Game Night: Hedbanz, Pictionary, Scrabble, Candyland, and Pie Face are all games you could put a Valentine’s Day spin on. For example, players receive extra points if they spell a word associated with Valentine’s Day when playing Scrabble, etc…

Themed Foods: The easiest way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your family is to incorporate it into your food and meals. For breakfast, make heart shaped pancakes and for lunch pack a heart shaped sandwich with the help of a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Pink lemonade, juice, strawberries, and raspberries are also simple foods you can incorporate during the day.

And to make it super simple, I’ve included a list of local stores and restaurants that offer Valentine’s Day themed foods perfect for pick-up.

Chick-fil-A: Yes – you can order adorable heart-shaped trays from Chick-fil-A to share with your loved ones! Options are trays filled with nuggets, chick-n-minis, cookies, or brownies. Contact your local Chick-fil-A or access your CFA mobile for availability.

Whole Foods: Flowers, wine, dinner, and desserts – you can find all of your Valentine’s Day needs at our local Whole Foods. Plus, if you are an Amazon Prime Member you can receive 23% off all Valentine’s themed desserts and treats.

Both Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts have a large selection of heart-shaped items the week of Valentine’s Day. Baskin Robbins and Publix also have numerous Valentine’s Day cakes available for purchase. And lastly, don’t forget about the heart-shaped pizzas from Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Marco’s Pizza, or California Pizza Kitchen.
