Family Valentine’s Day Ideas to Celebrate Love at Home

If you are celebrating the day of love at home this year, here are a few easy family Valentine’s Day ideas to mix things up. These are the quick, inexpensive traditions my family looks forward to — full of love and a little competition, just the way I like it.

Take a Family Valentine Quiz

This is my favorite of all our family Valentine’s Day ideas. A family valentine quiz helps our kids get to know us before we were just mom and dad. There are two versions, so you can add to their knowledge each year, and we give a prize to whoever gets the most answers right. Toss out a few early dating photos and your wedding pictures for a fun visual as you talk about where your love story started.

Love Pass: Cut out paper hearts with each person’s name, then have everyone write what they love most about that person.
Heart Stack: Grab conversation hearts and compete to see who can stack them the highest.
M&M Move: Using Valentine M&Ms, race to move as many as you can from one plate to another in 60 seconds.

An Easy Valentine’s Dinner

For dinner we keep it simple and festive: heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy’s (order early in the day!), strawberries, and raspberry sherbet mixed with Sprite for a fun drink. The whole evening is easy, quick, inexpensive, and full of love — exactly how I like our traditions.
