For our family Valentine's dinner my theme this year was wording found on vintage valentines.
You're outta this world, Valentine.
I'd go anywhere with you, Valentine.
You make my world go 'round, Valentine.
I used my souvenir plates that I have collected from thrift stores and yard sales. For the centerpiece, an old globe, postcards, maps, and some small souvenir vases. And of course, hearts.
Our friend, Adelene with Max and Sam. When I mentioned that Ad was coming for Sunday dinner, Sam had an instant response, "Oh good!"
Favors are the small Whitman box of chocolates that I wrapped up and tied to look like suitcases. They are the place cards as names are on the luggage. Everyone had a different destination.
The menu:
Heart shaped Meatloaf
Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes
Green Beans
Berry Jello
Caesar Salad-Sam loves it.
Texas Toast-hey, it was a travel theme.
Dessert is always a heart shaped cake. Cherry chip with mock whipped cream frosting. Hubby loves it.

You are sooo creative. It looks amazing!
Once again - a beautiful and completely thought out table!! I want to be just like you when I grow up!!!
What a delightful Valentine dinner! Your table is set so beautifully, and I love your menu. The Whitman's chocolates wrapped as suitcases is such a clever idea. You are amazing!
Love the theme this year - creative traveling is what it's all about this year, no extra funds for real traveling.
My hubby gave me chocolate covered cherries and 2 massages from Marla for Valentines. I felt a little bad because we agreed "cards" only this year and that's what I did.
What a fun scape. That heart cake looks so yummy and pretty on that cake plate!
Lovely table... thanks so much for sharing!
