Valentine's Day Brunch
All you need is love (and a few irresistible supplies).

This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday, providing a great excuse to buck the couples-only restaurant scramble, and instead, host an inclusive Valentine's Day brunch. Keep the menu homey and simple with dishes that are easy to prep before guests arrive (try goat cheese quiche, fruit salad with honey, and heart-shaped muffins). Create a warm atmosphere inspired by V-days of yore, when it was all about sweet treats, construction paper hearts, and piles of valentines for everyone in the class.

Agatha Hearts Table Cover
Like a grade school arts & crafts project tacked to the refrigerator, this table cover radiates from-the-heart charm.

Pink Placecards
When it comes to your color scheme, think pink. Softer on the eyes than red, it's perfect for the pre-coffee crowd. Rosy pink placecards make every guest feel welcome.

Sweethearts Conversation Hearts
It's just not Valentine's Day without them. Scatter these tiny icons on tables, use them to fill vases, give them as favors, you can't overdo it.

Silicone Heart Muffin Pan
Corn muffins with raspberry preserves? Blueberry with lemon curd butter? Whatever gets your heart racing.

Classic Valentines
These cute cards kick the nostalgia into high gear. Punch holes in them and string them above your table, or simply send them as invitations.

Valentine Loot Bags
We heart these retro goodie bags. Fill them with candy, or miniature soaps and votive candles.
