Every Year we put on a Valentine's Banquet. This years theme is :Written Words of Love
I purchased some awesome little mailbox's from Etsy: Altered to perfection http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20418403
And I am going to use them to decorate the tables and also give away as door prizes. I have a few things in mind as far as games, for instance I am going to have all the men copy a short sentence. "Dear Sweet Heart, I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart. Love," But they aren't going to sign it. Next the wives will have to go to the table and decide which one was written by their husband. Second game. I will give each wife 10 convesation hearts and she will have to use them in a short letter to her hubby. And we'll have maybe one more game, but i'm not sure what it'd be *ideas are welcomed :)
I have to write a skit: Wife complains that dh isn't romantic enough and he never writes her letters or buy her flowers. She wants him to be more like the men in her soaps that she watches. Dh sitting in his office trying to figure out what to say in a love letter. It's been a looong time since he's done this and he's not a romantic, so he is trying all these different things to say (thinking out loud) He finally finishes. Oh, she wanted flowers but they cost way to much so as he's driving he see's a beautiful pet cemetary and decides to take some from one of the tombstones, besides the pet won't miss them. Valentines day is here and wife is suprised by the beautiful and extravagant flower arrangements, next to it she sees a envelope. Filled with excitment she rushes to read the letter: opens envelope and reads out loud. Dh is spying on her. He walks in as soon as she finishes and he has a huge smile on his face, thinking he done good. Then wife reads the card in the flowers "Dear Honey, you always had a way of marking your territory and claiming what was yours. I'm glad that when you were young you decided to claim me. I love you"
(or something like that)
Wife looks confused and upset like she is gonna let loose on him, but instead she was thankful just to get something sooo special.
What do you think? I still need to go over things ten times and re-do, but this is the core idea.
