Set the Stage: Party Planning 101

No theatre party is complete without a show-stopping theme. For Valentine’s Day, go for **"Love on the **Stage" or "Broadway Romance." Think reds, pinks, and glitter with decor inspired by iconic love stories from the stage (West Side Story, anyone?).

• Backdrop Idea: Use string lights and red velvet curtains to create a photo wall. Add heart-shaped cutouts with quotes from famous love-themed musicals like Phantom of the Opera or Moulin Rouge!.

• Table Setting: Scatter confetti shaped like drama masks and roses on the table. Place Playbill-inspired menu cards for a fun touch.

• Ambiance: Add a warm, theatrical glow with our Light Up the Stage candle. Its subtle fragrance and elegant design will set the perfect mood for your Valentine’s party.
