Host Your Own Gem Galentine’s Day Party

I’m beyond excited to share this super sweet “You’re a Gem” themed Valentine’s Day party inspired by the new Occasions by Shakira x My Mind’s Eye collection! This is our third Valentine’s Day collab and I am thrilled because this is our first time offering coordinating classmate valentines!

The Occasions Bin® kept our collection of supplies ready for party setup and having extras on hand as needed. Occasions Bins® are a tradition that started in my very own kitchen in 2019. I intentionally place it on the counter so that we have easy access to seasonal items to make things like movie night or snack time special. You can find more ideas for keeping Occasions Bins® stocked all year long here.

I know I always say each collection is my favorite, but this one is perfection. It’s got so many sparkly and iridescent elements and the valentines come with little rhinestones. We worked on these for about a year in advance and it is such a fun project each time. I’m so grateful anytime I get the opportunity to do something that my kids can be part of and enjoy. It’s just unreal for them to take valentines to school to share with their friends that I helped design!

These plates are like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I love the the way the shape of the heart looks like a multi-faceted gem with iridescent details.

It took some work to get these treat boxes exactly how we wanted them, but they’re PERFECTION! They are nice and sturdy, palm size, and they are perfect for gift cards and treats.

Creating really fun non-food valentines was important to me as a food allergy mom. The gems and iridescent bags that come with them are so cute, but there’s also room to add in ring pops, gemstone jewelry, or a treat if you want to include them.

We also used the heart treat boxes to set up the cutest bracelet bar. The girls had a great time making beaded gemstone bracelets to match their sparkly party favor rings!

We also brought some sparkle to the cupcakes with gemstone ring cupcake toppers.

The girls and I had the most amazing Galentine’s Day Party and I’ve never seen a collection sparkle +shine so bright! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

I want to give a huge thank you to the party vendors that made it such a magical day:
