Not everyone LOVES to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but that is no reason to be excluded from celebrating the day. You can do this with an Anti Valentine’s Day party!
Has your heart:
• been ripped apart?
• been stomped on?
• had mean things said to it?
• been used to wash the toilets?
• been thrown 20 meters up against the wall of a 10 meter room?
• been dragged across the desert and thrown in a ditch?
• been stapled to a tree, covered in bird seed, and offered as food to crows?
• been launched like an exploding rocket heading East down a Westbound highway?
If any of these, and more, apply to you, then an Anti Valentine’s Day party may be the event for you this year.
First, you need to invite your guests.
Whether your prospective guests have suffered heartache too, or are just the people you enjoy to spend your time with or to party with, you’ll need invitations to invite them. These invitations are perfect options to add anticipation to your upcoming social shindig.

There are several things you can do to prepare for your event.
No one likes to be sad, or experience any negative emotions, but if you’re planning this kind of party you can do several things to prepare for a devastating theme. If you plan ahead far enough you can buy flowers, like roses, and “forget” to water them. Nothing says “love lost” like dead flowers.
You can buy cheap picture frames and with the photograph of your ex inside, or pictures of hearts, carefully smash the glass so it is obviously cracked. I recommend putting clear packing tape on the inside of the glass first, so when you crack it the pieces stay in place without falling. Be careful to clean up any pieces that may have fallen, and please wear gloves so that you don’t cut yourself. (You assume all responsibility if you do this.)
You can even toilet paper your own house, inside and/or outside.
