COOKIE DECORATING PARTY FOR VALENTINE'S DAY
A cute little DIY cookie station will be the perfect way to celebrate this sweet holiday of love. Break out the candies and sprinkles to get this party started.

- Plain Heart Shaped Cookies
- Cookie Icings & Decorating Icings
- Heart Shaped Candies
- Small Valentine's Day Candies and Chocolates
- Small Icing Decorations
- Pretty Sprinkle Mixes
What I love about this cute little party idea is that it's SO flexible. You can choose any kind of cookie, icings and decorations to make it your own. You could host this Valentine's day spread twenty times and make it unique each time. You can also use this idea for literally any occasion just by changing the cookie theme. Christmas, Easter, birthdays, you name it.
Set out a tray of plain heart-shaped cookies, icings and little small dishes of all of the possible cookie toppings that everyone can choose from.
Alternately, depending on your party size, you can also put everything on one tray (plain cookies and all decorations). This would make for a fun and trendy Valentine's Day dessert board option that guests will have fun with.
If you are doing a large party, you could set a tray like this in the center of each party table.
So many sweet possibilities!
