So the closer it gets to Cupcakes & Wine day, the more excited I get about my very first themed party. With luck, those threats and guilt trips will work, and folks will actually show up. I mean, I love my friends, but historically? We’re kind of bums about this sort of thing. So. You know. Cue the threats and guilt trips.

Anyway.

I browsed the ‘Net this weekend for some V-Day inspiration, and OH, Internet. You have not failed me. Check out some of these gorgeous ideas for all things glitzy and glamorous:

1.) Leopard, Lace & Love for Valentine’s Day, courtesy of Hostess with the Mostess

2.) Glam Valentine’s Day Wedding Shoot, via Pizzazzerie

3.) Valentine’s Day Goodie Bags, from Twig & Thistle (And can I just say? HOLY GORGEOUSNESS, this website.)

4.) Valentine’s Day Cookie Pop Tutorial, also from Pizzazzerie

You can find the motherload of gorgeous table spreads here, at Pizzazzerie. Of course. Because isn’t everything on Pizzazzerie amazing? Good. Ness.

Food-wise, I’m kind of drooling over these Cherry Chocolate Kisses and Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cupcakes.

I have added so many new websites to my feed reader tonight… It’s kind of a mess. But oh so much fun.

Also, since this post is sheer girliness right now, let me just man it up a little by adding:

Dear Giants: Since the 49′ers beat my Saints last weekend in a heartbreaking (and somewhat dirty) game (LISTEN. You can’t just win by injuring the other team. SAN FRANCISCO. I’M LOOKING AT YOU.) — I really need you to kick their behinds tonight. Also, if you could then go on to cream the Patriots in the Super Bowl? That’d be swell. Because it’s really almost unbearable to live in New England during football season when you hate the Pats as much as I do, and a Super Bowl win definitely does not make that any better. Love, Melissa

Annnnnd scene. Happy Sunday, all!
