A February sweetheart celebration is all about warmth, whimsy, and charming details that make guests feel special, and with the right touches, it truly becomes unforgettable.

TWO WAYS TO SHOP THIS COLLECTION

Sweetheart Invitations

Set the tone with an invitation that instantly whispers “February magic incoming.” Soft pink hearts, romantic script, and a touch of retro candy charm will give guests a glimpse of your aesthetic before they arrive. Print at home for total customization or order professionally printed for that luxe finish. Tip: pair your invite with a heart-shaped sticker seal for an extra darling touch!

Whether you love to DIY your party decorations or prefer your party supplies printed & ready to go, we’ve got you covered!


Shop digital templates or explore printed party decor to find the perfect design for your next celebration.

Heart Themed Party Decorations

Think blush garlands, sweetheart banners, scalloped signs, and pastel confetti sprinkled across every surface. Your décor should feel light, airy, and candy-shop cute. Layer printable signs from your Wilde Peach Party collection with physical décor from your Benable picks for that perfect mix of DIY charm and boutique style.


Heart-shaped plates, scalloped edges, pretty pastels, and gold accents help tie everything together. Mix disposable partyware with a few reusable items—like a ceramic heart bowl or pink glass drink dispenser—to elevate your tablescape without adding stress.

Themed Party Favors

Send guests home with a tiny token of love! Think heart-shaped personalized sunglasses that can also be used for a sweet photo shoot, lip balms, candy jars, or mini candles. Packaging them in clear favor bags with pink satin ribbon makes everything feel elevated. For a baby shower, “From our little sweetheart to you” tags are adorable and totally on brand for the theme.

Activities & Games

Keep guests entertained with low-stress, memory-filled fun. For adults, create a “Love Notes” station where guests write sweet messages to the mama-to-be, the birthday girl, or each other. For kids, set up a decorate-your-own cookie station with pink icing and sprinkles. You can also add a photo booth with Valentine props for instant entertainment. These cute smile props below would pair perfectly with the heart shaped sunglasses in the favors section above.

Party Outfits & Accessories

Encourage guests to lean into the theme with pink, red, or white outfits—bonus points for bows, pearls, or heart-shaped sunglasses. For the guest of honor, a “Little Sweetheart” sash (or “Mama’s Sweetheart” for baby showers) makes for the cutest photos and adds a celebratory flair.

Snacks & Treats

Every February sweetheart party deserves a delicious moment — and pairing a themed drink with an irresistible snack spread is the sweetest way to spoil your guests. Start with a signature sip that's as pretty as it is tasty. For adults, a rosé spritz or strawberry blush cocktail topped with heart-shaped strawberries is a total show-stopper. Hosting little ones or a family gathering? A cotton-candy fizz mocktail (Sprite poured over a fluffy puff of pink cotton candy) brings instant magic and guaranteed giggles. Set up a mini drink cart with a heart garland or scalloped sign to tie in the theme.


Then, elevate your food table with a seasonal sweetheart grazing board filled with heart-shaped goodies. Use a small cookie cutter to shape strawberries, brie, or soft cheeses; sprinkle in pink macarons, yogurt-covered pretzels, pastel candies, and mini marshmallows. A little bowl of heart-themed chocolate kisses adds that nostalgic pop of color everyone loves. Arrange everything on a white or blush platter so the pastel hues stand out beautifully. It’s a simple setup that makes a big (and delicious) impact.


A heart-shaped cake is practically mandatory for this theme. Keep it simple with pink buttercream and white pearls, or go full coquette with ruffles and tiny bows. Cupcakes topped with chocolate hearts or edible glitter are a fun alternative. Display on a tiered stand surrounded by scattered rose petals for maximum effect.
