Tabletop tips 
No need for store-bought decorations. Try one of these easy ideas:

• Serve cran-raspberry juice in wine glasses.
  
• Set a Valentine Shape^® cookie at each place setting.
  
• Make anything and everything red: paper napkins, pink food coloring in the milk...you get the idea.

 

 

Start with an appetizer.

Bringing out apps, even really simple ones like this, signal that there's something special going on:

• Valentine Chex^® Mix
  
• Nacho Pinwheels

 

 

Serve up something special.
