A Well Crafted Party

Category

I’m among a large majority of people my age in being completely obsessed with flavored soda waters. I love that there is no sweetness, but there is an essence of flavor to it. That love really goes in overboard with the brightly-colored, excellently designed cans of Bubly water. You have likely seen them in many of my previous party photos. That love has transpired to create these fun soda water themed valentines that are perfect for friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

(I feel like, with the effervescent exclamations of my love for this brand of bubbly water, I should likely mention that though I totally WOULD work for this brand, this is an unsponsored post. All ideas, thoughts, and photos are my own.)

While Valentine’s Day is often a romantic holiday for many, I’ve never been a huge fan of that side of things. Expectations often lead to disappointments! What I do love about Valentine’s Day is it is an opportunity for me to shower my friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors with a little cheer.

Supplies

I really like that the creation of these valentines is actually super affordable! And, affordable is important if you are getting for a fair amount of people. A box of soda water can run around $3 to $5 for multiple cans! The rest you can do with a home printer and some found supplies. While I have specific ones listed below, I’ll also share some alternative ideas so you can craft something without a lot of expense.

Soda Water Themed Valentines

Below is a list of supplies I used. The supply links below are affiliate links to Amazon. Purchases made through those links help support this blog with no cost to you the reader. Thank you for supporting A Well Crafted Party.

Supplies:

Print and Cut Free Printable

I made the printables fairly basic so that you could really do what you pleased with them. I attached to straws using hot glue because I liked the way it looked, but you could also use a hole punch and use it as a tag, or simply tape it to the can!

Directions:

  1. Print out the free printable soda water themed valentines using your home printer or your favorite print shop. Print in full-color on cardstock weight paper.
  2. Cut out the printables with scissors
  3. Using a hot glue gun, glue the heart-shaped valentine message to the straw, about an inch and a half down the straw.
  4. Using a hot glue gun, put a small dot of glue on the side of the can, and attach the decorated straw. Try to make sure you attach the straw where the bottom of the straw meets the bottom of the can or it will be difficult to sit down flat.
  5. Gift to your friends, neighbors, or coworkers!

Alternatively, tape or glue the tag to string and string through the tab of the can. Or, simply tape the tag straight on the can.

Don’t forget to sign the heart with your name so your friends, neighbors, and coworkers know who to thank! 😉

I’m not a huge fan of the term Galentine’s Day… it always came off as cheesy to me. However, I do LOVE celebrating Valentine’s Day with my gals, so I actually have a few fun ideas from over the past years for celebrating Valentine’s Day with your favorite ladies! Scroll on to see some of my favorite Galentine’s Day party ideas from over time.

Valentine's Day favorite things party for a Galentine's Day party!

Favorite Things Galentine’s Day Party

Have you ever been to a Favorite Things party? Basically, each guest brings a set number of their “favorite thing” and then there is a gift exchange at the party where each guest goes away with some new favorite things. There are many ways to host a favorite things party, but my three favorite ways were posted in my pink and red Galentine’s Day party post from last year.

Galentine’s Spa Day

Do you have any ladies in your circle that deserve a spa day like… WHOA? Yep, I’ve got a handful of ladies that come to mind myself! Enjoy a relaxed and decadent afternoon with your favorite friends with the Valentine’s Spa Day lunch that features cucumber sandwiches, champagne heart jello shots, DIY manicure kits, rose water hand towels, and rose bath salts. Get your free printable invites as well!

Love and Plaid Ladies Night

Celebrate the coziness of winter by incorporating plaid, cable knit, hot drinks, and your favorite friends for a ladies night complete with chocolate, valentine exchange, and crafting station. Also, set up a simple card station where your guests can apply lipstick, kiss a card, and create a sweet message for a loved one! Add some stamps and they can send out Valentine’s cards right from the party. It was super fun putting together our favorite winter items to create this plaid valentine’s day party.

Are you celebrating Galentine’s Day this year? If so, how? Share in the comments below!

I don’t know about you, but I will happily be hosting several guests this holiday season and am searching for ideas to help make them feel more comfortable and welcomed in my home. One fun way to make guests feel loved this holiday season is by creating a DIY Holiday Guest Comfort Kit! Use my free printable below to tie your gift together and make it feel extra special.

This is the eleventh post of my 12 Days of Christmas DIYs for 2018. I’ve committed to sharing 12 posts in December where  I share DIY projects, recipes, entertainment, and more, that you can incorporate into your holiday season. 

Put together a guest comfort kit

The great thing about these kits is that you can truly mix it up to fit the needs of your guest. I like making sure that my guests have some of the things I know that they’ll need on-hand so that they don’t have to ask or search for them. 

Ideas for crafting your guest comfort kit: 

  • Towel and Washcloth
  • Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash
  • Lotion
  • Chapstick
  • Earplugs
  • Sleep Mask
  • Water Bottle & Glass
  • Fuzzy Socks or Slippers
  • Travel Hairdryer 
  • Tissues
  • Razor
  • Sweet Snacks
  • Savory Snacks
  • Assortment of Tea
  • Extra blankets/pillows, etc. 
  • And, the most important in my opinion…the WiFi Password!
WiFi Password Sign

For a recent guest I created a small basket filled with:

  • a pair of fuzzy socks tagged with a tag that reads, “Stay Cozy” 
  • a washcloth and towel tagged with a tag that reads “so fresh & so clean”
  • tissues
  • water bottle with a tag that reads, “Stay Hydrated” and a water glass
  • both sweet snacks and savory snacks with tags that read “Something Sweet” and “Something Savory”
  • a sign that has our wifi network name and password. The free printable is a fillable printable so that you can type in your information or just print it off and write in the information. 
Free Printables for your holiday guest comfort kit

To use the free printable download the Holiday Guest Comfort Kit printable, fill in your WiFi information, and print on white cardstock in full color. Then simply cut out following the crop lines on the rectangle items and around the black outer line on the circles. You can then punch a hole in the circle tags or use tape to attach to your comfort items. 

How do you make your guests comfortable when they visit?
