Play A Valentine's Game
Here are a couple of
games for couples on Valentine's Day
REAL
LIFE STORY
When inviting your guests, have each couple write a romantic or funny real life story of their life together. Read each story aloud to your guests. Have each person give the story a title and guess which couple the story belongs to. Again, you'll get some laughs when each person announces their title and a guess to which couple the true story belongs to.

FINISH
MY SENTENCE
How well do your couple friends know each other? Try a simple game of finish my sentence. Before the party begins, create a list of unfinished sentences. Create a different list for female and male guests. First, have the couples complete the sentences with the words they believe their partner would use. When they have finished, give them the other list and ask them to complete the sentences with the words they would use. Make sure to read all their answers aloud, it's the best part!
BABY PICTURES
Have couples give you a baby picture before your gathering, preferably ages newborn to one year old. Assign each picture a number and post the picture on to a bulletin board or cork board. When guests arrive ask them to, first, guess who each person is, and then match the couples. Baby pictures make great conversation pieces and you are guaranteed laughs when the true couples are revealed.

The Parlor, Santa Monica CA
A great sports bar, and the food,
isn't so bad. All right the food is GREAT, and that's
not just the fatty greasy stuff, the healthy dishes are
great too. You also might find a winner of Survivor
hanging around the place, especially since he owns it.

Wendy's Baconator
This
sandwich does taste good, but after you eat one, you
wish you were dead. The 1000+ calories is horrible in
this non-veggie burger. -Austin |
