Here are two more pictures from my Valentine's Day party that I talked about in my last post:
pink and white cotton candy |
white chocolate Lindor truffles |
I wanted to mention that containers really change the look of their contents and that they can easily make their contents look more appealing. The cotton candy came in a blue bag which obviously did not go well with my pink and white table so I found some clear glass jars that looked great with the other dishes and glasses. The Lindor truffle wrappers were gold and gold was not in my Valentine's Day party color scheme, so a quick fix was taking them out of the wrappers and dropping them into cute glasses that matched the rest of the table.
And here are some new things:
It is fairly easy to make letters and shapes out of cheese slices and they make for really cute snacks! Cookie cutters would be perfect for this but I just used a butter knife to cut out these shapes.
I had this little mailbox at my Valentine's Day party but I didn't know what to do with it so I just sat it in the middle of the dining room table. I later realized that it was perfect for holding candy, either as a centerpiece on a table or as a party favor. I bought this mini mailbox for only $1.00 so it would be great to give something like this as a party favor so that guests would still have something from the party once the candy was gone.

If I were going to use a candy-filled mini mailbox as a centerpiece for a table then I would probably go for having all of one type of candy, like the red M&Ms. For a party favor though, I would probably fill it with an assortment of candy like that shown in the picture above. It would also be nice to add Valentine's Day cards to candy-filled mini mailbox party favors! Well let me know if you have any comments or suggestions, and thanks for looking at my post!
