Truth or Dare Affair

A Valentine's Day Theme Party

It seems like yesterday that I was sitting in my best friend's basement at her "sleep over" party playing Truth or Dare.  It was a game of chance, hoping that your best friend wouldn't make you reveal your secret crush. It was also a game of fear; being scared that your best friend would make you call the boy you like, and ask him out. It boggles the mind as to why people would put themselves through this, knowing that it can only end in some form of embarrassment. Maybe it's the rush, or the sheer excitement of love in the air that makes us want to play this crazy game. Does this sound all too familiar? Has it been too long since you've told the truth or taken a dare? Well come with us, and take a walk on the wild side with a Truth or Dare Affair for Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Invitations

You can send homemade decorated hearts cut out of red construction paper. Fold them together, so that only half the heart is visible. Write, "Truth or Dare" on the front of the closed heart, and decorate it with glitter, sequins, lace, or whatever you have on hand.

When your friends receive the invitations, they can open the envelope and see the question, "Truth or Dare?" at the top of the heart. On the inside, write the details of the party on the left: Date, place, time, dress, etc. Under these details, write a "Truth" question like, "How do you plan to have fun at my party?" On the right side, write a "Dare" like, "I dare you to come and have a blast"!

Give your friends something to remember with a personalized Valentine’s Day invitation while making your life easier at the same time.

Valentine's Day Decorations

The choices for Valentine’s Day decorations are getting better all the time. Take a look at Valentine’s Day Decorating411 and you will find many new and different Valentine’s Day decorations.  I really like the hearts and Cupid cutouts. They have a classic Valentine's look.  And for a surprise try the hearts toilet paper. Sure to get a chuckle.

Valentine's Day Table Decorations

Put some Valentine confetti all over the tables. Buy chocolate roses, and put them in a vase on each table as the centerpiece. Better yet, there are great chocolate photo truffles that would be fabulous and make a great favor.

You can also make place cards with a silly dare on one side, and the person's name on the other (One dare could be, "Sing for your supper").

You’ll want to use paper plates and we have designs that will help you create a daring table. It’s the truth! 

Valentine's Day Activities

Play Truth or Dare of course!

Gather your guests into a group, and have a seat. This is a simple game to play, and has very little rules. Choose one person to begin. The "beginner" gets to choose who goes first by asking someone, "Truth or dare?" The chosen person must respond either "Truth" or "Dare". If he/she responds, "Truth", then he/she must respond truthfully to any question asked. If he/she responds, "Dare", he/she must perform a dare that is presented to him/her (no matter what). Prizes are not usually awarded. However, if the host/hostess chooses, small prizes can be awarded for dares once they are successfully completed.

Sample Questions for Truth or Dare

• Who is most beautiful person you know (inside and out).
• If you could date anyone in the world, who would it be?
• Which famous couple throughout history would you like to be a part of?
• What is your most romantic dream?
• What is your most romantic memory?
• If you could kiss anyone in the world, who would it be?
• What is the most annoying habit that a romantic partner of yours has ever had?
• What is your biggest pet peeve, having to do with a romantic partner?
• What is the quality that is most important to you in a romantic partner?
• How many times during the day do you think romantic thoughts?
• Which relationship appeals to you more, a wild passionate one, or a quiet calm one.

If you are looking for more creativity and far more dirt (I mean direction) in your questions, pick up a copy of one of the following paperbacks at your local bookstore… The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock, Ph.D. (especially the Love & Sex version of this book by the same author), and the series of If…books by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell.

Sample Dares for Truth or Dare

• Attempt to stand on your head.
• Sing a song in front of people.
• Hop around to each person at the party saying, "I'm cupid, and I will help you find love".
• Do 3 consecutive cartwheels.
• Lead everyone in the chant, "We want food"!

Most of these dares are pretty tame. This game is much more fun when you are familiar with the people whom you are playing with.

Valentine's Day Party Favors

You'll want to have fun prizes to pass out for your Truth or Dare party.  I would get heart shaped beads to pass out to people who answer a truth question.  For those who go for a dare, I'd get something a bit more special like a red sequin cowboy hat or red LED Sunglasses.  Definitely something they can wear throughout the evening!

As your guests leave for the night, pass out a personalized Valentine's Day candy bar from Creations For You.  Yum!
 

Have a great time…I dare you!
