What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a Peanuts® Valentine’s Day Party? Each year my daughter sits down by herself and makes Valentine’s Cards for her classmates and teachers to take to school for their annual Valentine’s party and card exchange. This year I thought it would be fun to host a playdate for her and her friends to make their Valentine’s Cards together and enjoy sweet treats.
Make an Entrance with a Snoopy Photo Booth As each guest arrives, have them take a photo with Snoopy! The Peanuts® Valentine Cardboard Stand-Up and DIY Peanuts® Photo Prop Sticks make setting up a photo booth super easy. Once you take the photos, print them out on your home printer while the kids are busy making their Valentine's cards. Make these 2-step, 2-supply DIY Peanuts® Photo Frames before your party. Slip the printed photos into each frame and surprise each guest with them at the end of the party to take home. 
Create a Wow Factor Peanuts® Sweets & Favor Table To design this adorable sweets & favor table I was inspired by my favorite Peanuts® character - Snoopy! I used Snoopy's black and white color as my design element and mixed in pops of red and pink. An inexpensive way to add a wow factor to your table is to use balloons! These XO Mylar Letter Balloons make quite a statement. 
Decorate With Easy DIY Details Add these DIY Peanuts® Valentine's Centerpieces that are super easy to make and look great displayed on your sweets table or as centerpieces. How cute is this DIY Snoopy Valentine's Table Garland? It's simple to make with Black & White Striped Satin Ribbon, DIY Valentine Cards, Peanuts® Valentine Self-Adhesive Shapes and Peanuts® Valentine Stickers. 
Serve Color-Coordinated Sweet Treats Serve sweet treats like these no-bake Snoopy Brownie Push Cakes, Pink Jelly Beans, Large Shimmer Bright Pink Gumballs, Light Pink Chocolate Candy and Black & White Swirl Lollipops. Take a shortcut and serve store-bought sweets like these chocolate covered OREOS and top them with a candy heart. 
I love how these store-bought Snowball Cakes look in black and white baking liners topped with a candy heart and displayed on this Valentine's Day Cupcake Holder. Serve them with these adorable Peanuts® Valentine Dessert Plates and Napkins. 
Guests Enjoy Snacks at a Snoopy Dining Table! Set up this cute Snoopy dining table featuring this Black & White Wishing Tree Centerpiece with a my daughter's plush Snoopy and Woodstock toys. The Peanuts® Valentine Dessert Plates add a pop of color to the table layered on top of silver chargers. Add a napkin tied with Black & White Striped Satin Ribbon, and Premium Silver Metallic Forks and you have a gorgeous dining table! This is so fabulous, your kids will feel so special enjoying their sweet treats at this table! 
Make Peanuts® Valentine's To Give Kick off the party fun with a trip to the craft table where guests will make Valentine's Day cards. Give each guest a pack of DIY Valentine Cards (makes 24) so each guest has their own supplies to make a set of Valentines for their classmates. Place markers, Peanuts® Valentine Self-Adhesive Shapes and Peanuts® Valentine Stickers in the middle of the table to share. This disposable Peanuts® Valentine Tablecloth is perfect for a craft table just in case kids color on it while they are drawing on their Valentine's Day cards. 
When the kids are done making their cards, place them in a Snoopy Valentine Card Holder that the kids can assemble quickly. These make it easy to keep the cards together to give out in class. 
Teachers always get a special Valentine. Have your guests make these Peanuts® Valentine Signs for each of their teachers. 
Make Peanuts® Crafts to Keep! Now that the kids have made all their Valentines, it's time to make crafts for themselves. Start off with these super cute Color Your Own Peanuts® Valentine Crowns to wear during the party. 
Next, your guests will love to color these DIY Peanuts® Ceramic Snoopy Dog Houses to take home with them. TIP: For kids' parties, I choose to have them use Sharpie® Markers to color their ceramic dog houses instead of paint. They work great and no mess! Gotta love that! 
Send Guests Home with a Trip to the Peanuts® Favor Table Oriental Trading has a wide variety of Peanuts® party favors. At the end of the party, give each guest a Peanuts® Valentine Treat Box to fill with party favors like these Kick Balls, Beach Balls and Bookmarks.
