Whether it’s for a party with friends, a cozy evening with the family, or just some fun DIY ideas, these 22 Valentine’s Day activities are sure to bring the love (and laughter).
Let’s dive in!
1. DIY Candy Grams
Who doesn’t love getting a sweet treat?
Set up a mini candy-gram station with paper bags, markers, and a variety of candy.
Teens can create personalized candy grams for their friends or family members.
Bonus points for funny puns like “You’re sweet as chocolate!” This could easily be turned into a Valentijnsdag DIY project, making it extra fun and crafty.
2. Valentine’s Movie Marathon
Think 10 Things I Hate About You, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, or even a rom-com classic like Clueless.
Create a cozy setup with fairy lights, pillows, and a popcorn bar with fun toppings like M&Ms, caramel drizzle, or crushed Oreos.
Don’t forget to add some Valentines Party Decor to set the mood!
3. Heartfelt Photo Booth
Decorate a corner with heart-shaped balloons, red and pink streamers, and silly props like oversized sunglasses and feather boas.
Teens love a good photo op (hello, Instagram!), and you can even print Polaroid-style pics as keepsakes.
This would also make an amazing setting for Diy Valentine’s decorations!
4. Bake-Off Challenge
Channel your inner Great British Bake Off!
Teens can pair up and compete to decorate cookies, cupcakes, or mini cakes.
Provide frosting, sprinkles, and edible glitter—and let the creativity flow!
Don’t forget a prize for the most extra design.
And don’t forget to try making some Valentine’s day cookies for an extra treat!
5. Valentine’s Escape Room
Create a mini DIY escape room with clues based on love themes.
Example: A locked box containing “Cupid’s arrow” with riddles about famous couples or Valentine traditions.
Keep it fun and not too challenging!
This could easily be incorporated into a Valentinstag party or a Saint Valentin DIY adventure.
6. Friendship Bracelet Bar
Not everyone’s into romance—and that’s totally cool.
Set up a bracelet-making station with beads, charms, and string. Teens can make them for their besties or themselves because self-love counts too!
Try out some Valentine’s crafts for kids to make sure even the little ones are included.
7. Love-Themed Trivia Night
Put their knowledge to the test with a trivia game all about love songs, rom-coms, and celebrity couples.
Pair it with fun prizes like Valentine ’s-themed socks or a bag of chocolates.
Make it extra fun with Valentine’s projects like themed costumes!
8. DIY Valentine Cards
Go old-school with crafting supplies like glitter, stickers, and washi tape.
Encourage teens to make cards for friends, family, or even someone they admire secretly (wink).
Try some Diy bricolage for a creative touch!
9. Heart Pizza Party
Buy or make pizza dough and shape it into hearts before baking.
Teens can customize their toppings—pineapple lovers and haters can battle it out.
You can even make Valentine’s day food themed around hearts.
10. TikTok Valentine’s Challenge
Teens love TikTok, so why not make it part of the celebration?
Challenge them to choreograph a Valentine’s-themed dance or try funny couple/friendship trends together.
It’s the perfect way to mix in some Diy Valentine’s day decorations for a TikTok-worthy moment.
11. Chocolate Tasting Station
Set up a mini chocolate bar with different flavors: milk, dark, white, and fun extras like hazelnut or chili-infused chocolate.
Add fruit, marshmallows, and pretzels for dipping.
And don’t forget to make some Valentine’s day desserts to go with it!
12. Valentine’s Karaoke Party
Think love songs (or breakup anthems, if they’re in that mood).
Classics like Love Story by Taylor Swift or Uptown Funk will get everyone singing their hearts out.
You can add some rustic love vibes by decorating with simple, cozy elements.
13. “Crush” Soda Exchange
This is super cute:
Have each teen bring a can of Crush soda (or their favorite drink) and exchange it with someone they appreciate—whether it’s their bestie or their crush!
It’s a great way to incorporate some cute Valentine’s day gifts without spending a lot.
14. Blindfolded Makeup Challenge
This one is hilarious!
Teens pair up, and one person has to apply makeup to the other while blindfolded.
The results are usually Instagram-worthy… in a completely disastrous way.
This challenge could also be a fun way to incorporate Valentine’s crafts and DIY.
15. Galentine’s Spa Night
Face masks, nail polish, and cucumber slices for the eyes—set up a DIY spa at home.
Teens can pamper themselves while chatting and sharing laughs.
Why not make it a Diy Valentine’s gift for him night too, creating cute, homemade gifts for boyfriends or friends?
16. Romantic Scavenger Hunt
Create a scavenger hunt with Valentine-themed clues leading to a final surprise, like a box of candy or a small gift bag.
Make it cheesy on purpose—it’s half the fun!
Include some printable Valentines to make the hunt more creative!
17. Love Potion Mocktails
Set up a mocktail station where teens can mix sparkling water, fruit juices, and fun garnishes like heart-shaped ice cubes or colorful straws.
Give them quirky names like Cupid’s Fizz or Berry in Love.
You could even turn this into a Valentines day food activity!
18. Paint & Sip (Mocktails, of course!)
Provide small canvases, paint, and brushes for teens to create heart-themed artwork.
Pair it with sparkling cider for a sophisticated touch.
Bonus: They take their masterpieces home! You could try adding some Valentine’s wood crafts as a fun twist.
19. Heart Piñata Smash
Fill a heart-shaped piñata with candy, mini toys, and notes of encouragement.
Let teens take turns smashing it open while everyone cheers them on.
This could be a fun Valentine’s bricolage activity, too!
20. Valentine’s Meme Contest
Teens are all about memes, so why not make it part of the fun?
Have them create Valentine’s-themed memes on their phones and vote on the funniest one.
Winner gets a chocolate prize!
This would fit in perfectly with Anti Valentines day humor as well.
21. DIY Candle-Making
Get a simple candle-making kit and let teens create their own Valentine’s candles.
Scent ideas: vanilla, lavender, or rose.
They can even gift them to friends or keep them as a cute reminder of the day.
You can try handmade gifts Diy for a personal touch.
22. Spread the Love with Random Acts of Kindness
Sometimes, Valentine’s is more about giving than receiving.
Encourage teens to write kind notes for their neighbors, donate canned goods, or leave cheerful messages on sticky notes around town.
It’s a great way to make someone else’s day special.
You could also try Kartu Valentine for a fun, personal touch.
