What it is
A fun, cheeky alternative to Valentine’s Day for single friends (and anyone who hates the fuss). Black balloons, break-up anthems, comfort food and a heart piñata to smash.
Plan ahead
- One week before: invite friends and buy decorations and a heart piñata.
- The day before: make a playlist of break-up anthems.
Activities
- Break-up karaoke: classic heartbreak and empowerment anthems.
- Heart piñata: filled with chocolates.
- Worst date stories: everyone shares (if they want to); guests vote.
- Anti-love letters: write a funny letter to an ex - or to Valentine’s Day itself.
Food and drink
- Pizza, mac and cheese and loaded fries
- A chocolate fountain
- Cocktails: “Bitter Sweet” (Campari, orange and soda) or “Single Lady” (gin, elderflower, lemon)
Tips
- Keep it light and funny - no real exes’ names on the dartboard.
On the day
- Arrival (30 min): black and red decorations and a 'Bitter Sweet' cocktail.
- Comfort food (40 min): pizza, mac and cheese, and chocolate.
- Break-up song karaoke (45 min).
- Heart piñata (15 min).
- Worst date stories (30 min): best story wins a prize.
