Frugal Home Valentine’s Day Party Ideas

February 10, 2019 By Michelle Knight Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day is all about love. Moms love their kids and love to have fun with them. Undeniably Valentine’s Day costs some money for parties, gifts, cards and chocolates. Frugally minded moms find a way to show how much they love their children with a minimal cost. There are so many ways to have fun on Valentine’s Day without cost consuming the whole day.

My kids love to give their pictures they make to me. I monopolize on that idea for this day. We create crafts, pictures and cookies for grandparents. The oldest makes his pictures a little more elaborate than the younger three, but the younger three definitely can make a lot more Valentines. Homemade pictures or artwork are great gifts to give family members.

The three main areas to plan for in a party are the decorations, gifts and the activities.

Frugal Home Valentine Decorations

Decorations add to a party. They make the party more festive and fun. Baby showers are a lot more fun when the hostess decorates the cake table.

Easy, simple and homemade are good goals to aim for when making or purchasing decorations. The easy homemade artwork hung artistically will  work fine for a kids’ Valentine’s  Day party. My frugal home suggestion is to save as much from one year to the next. I have a poster that  I hang each year for Valentine’s Day. My decorations are not expensive, and I just save like I do the Christmas decorations. My storage box is just a cardboard Amazon box and I labeled it “Valentine decorations”.

Frugal Home Valentine Gifts

I read a love story along time ago when I was in elementary school called “Gift of the Magi”. This story entailed a couple who sold their prize possession to buy an accessory for the other persons’ prize possession. In the end neither one could use the present because they sold what complimented the gift. True giving doesn’t cost a dime. Giving may cost time, but frugal home moms give plenty of time. Teaching kids the gift of homemade gifts compliments the prize possessions’ of other family members. Grandparents love to receive something made from the hearts and hands of their grandkids.

Frugal Home Valentine’s Day Activities

Waking up to a goodie bag, decorations and the hint of fun all day gets my homeschooled kids excited the night before Valentines’ Day. My games are very simple such as a red balloon relay race, or some kind of a love scavenger hunt with big hearts.

As a wrap up I will play a review game of the history of Valentines’ Day or historical events like trivia or jeopardy. Fun, fabulous, and free is the idea when planning a fun frugal home Valentine’s Day Party.

Cheers,
