Friday Five | Five Non-DIY Valentines for My Non-DIY Friends

I was recently accused of showing favoritism toward my fellow DIY friends (by my non-DIY friends. *wink*) It’s okay – I still love you! That’s why I decided to throw together a short list of five, super cute and fun valentines that you can buy right off of Amazon. No DIY work required! 😉

Punny Valentines Day Party | DIY Party Planning

If there is one thing I love an awful lot, it has to be cheesy puns! Not because they’re actually funny but because they’re witty! That’s why when the thought crossed my mind to throw a Punny Valentines Day Party for our youth group at church – I knew I had to do it!

So I scoured the internet in search of the best puns, wrote a few myself and then designed an entire party around them! From decorations, to food – everything was a lot of PUN! (I mean, fun. 😉 You know I had to.)

When I was on IG live recently, I showed you all some of the graphics I made for it and you all really loved it! (Which made my pun-loving heart so happy!) So I decided to throw all the resources you need to plan your very own Punny Valentines Day Party into one blog post! Let’s jump right in.

Punny Valentines Day Decor

PUNNY VALENTINES DECORATIONS
All items in picture are linked here.

One of my favorite parts about this V-day theme is that not everything has to be pink and red or pink and purple. I went ALL OUT with color and black and white stripes to tie it all together! It was so much fun. Here are the supplies I used to decorate with (along with alternatives that might work better for you!

Tables
Round Colored Plastic Table Covers
-To cover the tables for seating and eating. #RhymingIsFun

Black and White Striped Plastic Table Covers
-I used two to cover the food and drink tables. I ALSO hung one on the wall as a photo backdrop. You can also, cut one into strips to use as table runners. You do you, boo boo!

Decorations
Cutie Fruity Foil Balloons
-These balloons were a HIT and took the party decor to the next level! I filled them up with a helium tank (This is the one I buy from Walmart.) 

120 Balloons – Rainbow Assortment
– I picked out complimenting colors and created bunches of balloons with the fruit ones, and set them on each table. Note: You will have A LOT of extra 12 in. balloons which you can use to create a balloon “swag.” (Kit linked next.)

Balloon Swag Supplies
– These supplies are SO easy to use and you will have extra tape/dots/supplies to use again later!

Glitter Heart Garlands
– I used this over the black and white stripe photo backdrop and it tied right in! 🙂

Graphics + Printables
