Invitations

Start your celebration with invitations that set the tone. Look for designs featuring pastel hearts, soft typography, and candy-inspired messages like “Be Mine” or “Cutie Pie.” For a personal touch, choose editable printable invitations, you can customize names, colors, and details right from home. Pro tip: pair them with pastel pink or lilac envelopes and a pastel heart wax seal for an extra dose of charm.

Welcome signs, banners, cupcake toppers, and table cards featuring candy hearts make it easy to tie everything together. For a cohesive look, mix soft tones of pink, mint, lavender, and butter yellow.

Party Favors

Give your guests something sweet to take home! Mini heart pinatas filled with pastel candies, heart-shaped soaps, or conversation heart bath bomb craft kits fit the theme perfectly.

Activities & Games

Keep guests entertained with themed activities! For baby showers, a “Guess the Candy Hearts” jar or “Love Song Lyric Match” game fits perfectly. For birthdays, try “Pin the Heart on Cupid” or a craft station where guests can decorate mini heart cookies. Display the games on pastel clipboards or in acrylic frames for a polished look.

What to Wear

Encourage guests to wear pastel hues or heart-themed outfits, think soft sweaters, flowy pink dresses, or “love” graphic tees. For the mama-to-be or birthday star, a tulle skirt and pearl headband add the perfect touch of whimsy. A heart-shaped purse or hair clip makes an adorable accessory that photographs beautifully and creates picture perfect photos that will last a lifetime.

Snacks & Treats

No Valentine’s celebration is complete without something sweet! Create a grazing board filled with treats inspired by the classic candy hearts—think pastel sugar cookies, heart shaped donuts, mini cupcakes, and pastel cake pops. Add touches of fruit like raspberries and strawberries to balance the sweetness and use a wooden board or heart-shaped tray for presentation. The perfect addition to your next sweetheart celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I decorate on a budget?

Printable party decor is your best friend! You can instantly download, print, and customize banners, signs, and favor tags to match your event. Use items you already have—like white frames, mason jars, or cake stands—and fill them with conversation hearts or pink candies. Add pastel balloons or streamers for an easy, affordable pop of color.

What are some fun activity ideas for guests?

Try a “Guess the Candy Hearts” jar game, decorate-your-own cookie station, or a “Love Notes to Baby” guestbook for showers. For birthdays, a heart piñata or photo booth with themed props always gets everyone laughing. Choose activities that encourage guests to mingle and create keepsakes for the guest of honor.

What kind of food should I serve?

Think pastel and playful! Heart-shaped sandwiches, strawberry cupcakes, cotton candy, and pink lemonade fit perfectly. If you’re creating a grazing board, mix sweets with lighter options like fruit skewers or yogurt parfaits. A themed cake or cookie set with candy-heart phrases makes for a picture-perfect centerpiece.

Can this theme work for both a baby shower and a birthday?

Yes! For a baby shower, emphasize sweet sayings like “Love is Brewing” or “Sweet Beginnings.” For a birthday, go bold with playful messages like “XOXO,” “Cutie Pie,” or “Born to Shine.” The base decor stays the same—you can simply update the text on printables or signage to match the occasion.
