Valentine's Day is fast approaching and, while some people love the holiday, others can't stand the lovey-dovey, heart-laden vibe that this particular holiday tends to permeate.
Why not provide a bit of fun for your teens--whether they rock Grumpy Cat snark or not--with an Un-Valentine's Day party?!
Here are some simple, cost-efficient ideas to help make your event a success:
- Stinky, get-close-at-your-own-risk food. We're talking Funyuns, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Sour Patch Kids, burp-inducing sodas, garlic/onion-y chips... Deliciously smelly fun.
- Snark-tastic Crafts/Activities
Anti-Conversation Hearts (g2g, walk on, how 'bout no, etc.)
This one is a simple as cutting out paper hearts and providing markers, sequins, what-have-you. Once your teens have the basic idea, they'll definitely run with it. (As you can imagine, it's best to set some basic ground rules, especially if some of them are prone to more...colorful...language.)
Ugly/Snarky Valentine's Cards
Let them create their own or consider providing old magazines, etc. for them to find inspiration/crafting materials.
Re-Imagined Romance Covers
Make some color photocopies of romance covers and provide art supplies, like Sharpies, glitter, googly eyes!
