Anti-Valentines Day

Do you celebrate anti-valentines day because you think Valentine’s Day is too commercial? Some of you might wonder this day is too sickly sweet. Are you single and lonely? Does it jog your memory of a broken relationship? Then skip Valentine’s Day this year and rejoice your own holiday – The Anti-Valentine’s Day!

While many of us have celebrated Anti-Valentine’s Day on our own in the past, card companies now celebrate with us! You no longer have to overlook the rows of red and pink deliberating that you won’t take delivery of a Valentine. Companies like American Greetings are now making Anti-Valentine’s Day cards with sayings such as “Broken hearts of the world unite!”. While these cards embody less than 1% of the 2500 Valentine’s card designs that American Greetings sells, at least there’s something for the rest of us now. Actually, you can even send an Anti-Valentine’s Day ecard from the AmericanGreetings.com website!

If you’re in search of more ways to commemorate Anti-Valentine’s Day, here are a few ideas:

1. Throw a party!
Invite all of your pals over and live it up for the night! Host a casual dinner party and get the hilarity flowing with game night afterwards. Both your single pals and couple friends can join in your anti-valentine game night. If you really wish to be anti-valentine, you could bake a red velvet cake for dessert and set trodden conversation hearts on top.

2. Go out anyway!
Gather round a group of pals and set out for dinner at a local restaurant. You don’t have to be part of a couple to have a fun dinner out on Valentine’s Day.

3. Movie Night.
Have a funny night in! Get takeout from your favorite restaurant, rend a comedy that you haven’t seen yet, and spend the night laughing like crazy.

4. Splurge on yourself!
Give yourself your own anti-Valentine’s Day gift. Skip the flowers and chocolates and instead give yourself a day at the spa, a pedicure, a great book, etc.

5. Date again.
If you’re so inclined, join an online dating service and find yourself a brand new Valentine!
