Single or spoken-for, Valentine's Day can suck.... really really really suck! For my friends the day is spend either remembering they're single, or spending too much money now that they're not single.
Don't stress, unless you work for Hallmark and this is your one big money-maker day until December.
Instead, host a party with your closest girls. It's like girls night out meets chocolate, wine and food. Perfection? I think so! Make the couple world jealous and have 10 valentines for the day without spending your entire savings.
Have your friends bring their favorite sweets.
This glorified "holiday" is all about the sweetness. The less you have to cook, the higher the sweetness factor am I right? We all have the one friend who can make a hell of a cake, or the other one who should've been a bartender (considering how much they drink AND how they can turn any liquid into delicious heaven). Have one bring something chocolate, one bring a fruity dessert, one bring wine or make drinks... Sidenote: Cabernet and Merlot are even better with chocolate! ...you get the idea but imagine the smorgasbord potential without any extra effort.
For the Pinterest fiends: Let the craftiness flow!
After all, what's more Valentine's Day-esque than construction paper heart decorations and table settings? Not to mention, you can always get crafty with your girls. Head to Pinterest and glitterize wine glasses for the night.
Couch + wine.
Sit, sip, relax! As female, I know that the friends and wine combination makes the perfect medicine. So sip (or chug if you're some of my friends) the stress away. What a great time to catch up, gossip about your crazy neighbor and plan another stress-free date.
