Valentine’s Eve Sweetheart Dinner

We hosted a pre-Valentine’s dinner party for some friends on Saturday eve.  It was 4 couples + 9 kids (all six and under) – I wasn’t sure how crazy it would be, but we had a wonderful eve!

The theme was fondue — cheese and chocolate  (not at the same time, of course), rounded out with soup and sandwiches and an assortment of yummy munchies brought by all.  I set up a craft station for the kid to make Valentines, which was a big hit.  I did not expect the kids to allow us grown-ups much time for adult conversation, but surprisingly, the kids had blast on their own, and we were left to talk in peace for quiet a while!

It was a lovely evening – in addition to scrumptious food, we played our own version of the Newlywed Game.   Couples took turns drawing questions out of a bowl and everyone tried to guess their spouse’s answer.   It resulted in much laughter.   If you are curious, or planning your own date night party, you are welcome to borrow the list of questions I came up with.

Thanks friends, for such a fun evening!
