Valentine's Day Ideas for the Office

Ah, February! What a miserable month. The holidays seem long past (except for the bills). Spring feels too far away. After the Super Bowl not much is going on in sports. Why not brighten up the office with some Valentine’s Day decorations and props? They not only add color to your office but give you a great opportunity to tell employees or clients that YOU LOVE THEM!!

A great way to start is with a lifesize cutout of your boss dressed as a giant Valentine. You can even include a speech bubble of him or her telling the world how much he loves his employees. This can work in your reception area or in your lunch room. Add some heart cutouts for a perfectly decorated entryway.

Have a Party on Valentine’s Day

You know everybody is bonkers with the mid-winter blues, so liven things up with a little Valentine’s Day party on February 14th. I think it’s ok to be hokey (think back to when you celebrated the day in grade school). Keep it simple with a few of these party ideas:

Decorate! Some Valentine's Day paper goods with some cookies and candy (don’t forget to have conversation candy hearts that say “Crazy4U”).
Add a few red and white balloons, paper confetti, heart shaped boxes of chocolates and plush bears as table decorations.
Decorating is a snap with red and pink hanging decorations (perfect for a confernece or break room).
- Red and Pink Paper Lanterns
- Pink and White Crepe Paper
- Custom Valentine's Day Banner
Do something fun! Organize a fun activity that brings everyone together. Yay for teambuilding!
