A prize may be awarded for the best valentine, the brightest and most witty.
INITIAL COMPLIMENTS.
Each gentleman is handed a slip of paper with the name of a lady guest on it. The gentlemen are then requested, one at a time, to go to their respective ladies, giving each a compliment, every word of which begins with the initial letter of the lady's first name.
As each lady is addressed by a gentleman, she replies, using the initial letter of his name in her answer.
Votes are taken as to the best compliment and answer and a simple prize may be awarded the pair who obtained the most votes.
HEART HUNT.
Cut out of red, white, blue, yellow and green paper hearts of all shapes and sizes, then cut each heart into four pieces and scatter these all over the room, on the floor, chairs, tables, behind pictures, etc.
Allow a certain length of time for the hunt, and when all the pieces have been collected, request each guest to put his pieces together and see how many whole hearts of the same color he has collected.
