All you need are several framed pictures and a cute balloon arrangement with the words "love" and "xoxo," plus some heart-shaped balloons.

How to Set It Up

Create a balloon arch at the entrance or above the main table: inflate balloons of different sizes and alternate colors, tying them together with ribbon.

For a more intimate touch, form a heart with balloons on the dining room or bedroom wall, hanging confetti or rose petals from them.

Add balloons with messages like "I love you," printed or written with a marker.
