Winter is with us still, but the upcoming Valentine’s holiday is a great opportunity to take some time out from the snow and celebrate. Today the Luxury Apts WNY Blog has some ideas to make this Valentine’s Day the best ever, whether you celebrate with your sweetheart or your family, or whether you get a group of friends together for a fun evening of food and games.
Celebrate with Your Sweetheart
Create with a “heart attack” — no need to call 911. Simply plaster your sweetie’s side of the mirror, closet, or office door with a multitude of heart-shaped notes filled with reasons why you love and appreciate him or her.
Bundle up and take a Valentine’s night stroll to do some stargazing. Chances are you’ll end up gazing at the stars in each other’s eyes! (If it’s too cold, check out a local planetarium to see the stars.)

Celebrate with Your Family
Pull out the art supplies and spend some time making homemade Valentine’s cards for extended family and friends. Be sure to write a nice note on them. Check out the history of Valentine’s Day for a fun, educational addition to your evening!
Make a batch of heart-shaped sugar cookies and enjoy decorating them with everyone in the family. We love this recipe from Allrecipes.com for a moist, tender sugar cookie. "Rich and delicious cut-out cookies - wonderful for special holiday celebrations! These are the best cut-out cookies the long line of bakers in our family has ever found."
Celebrate with Your Friends
Plan a Valentine’s Day party with your friends. Invite a few people over and have a dinner party, complete with a fabulous dessert. Perhaps go all out and plan a progressive Valentine’s Day dinner. It’s a fun way to get to know other people better and have some tasty food along the way. (Check out these examples of how to plan a progressive dinner.) Round out the evening by playing a variety of these Valentine’s Day themed Minute-to-Win-It games.
Another idea for a small group is to get together and enjoy a classic Valentine’s Day movie. In addition to now offering residents SHOWTIME in our Ultimate Technology Package, we have free lending DVD libraries in our clubhouses. We invite you to stop by and check them out, and let us know if you have any special requests for a special Valentine’s Day movie today!
