1. Couples White Elephant Gift Exchange

We’ve all played white elephant at Christmas, but bringing it to Valentine’s Day is brilliant! Have guests bring lighthearted (PG-rated) gifts, and do a classic white elephant exchange, stealing and swapping included! This game is guaranteed to be a huge hit!

2. Famous Couples Catch Phrase/Taboo

Split into two teams. Give each team has 30 seconds to guess as many famous couples as possible. One teammate gives clues while the rest of the team guesses. Here are some suggestions of famous couples for you to use:

Classic literary couples (Romeo & Juliet, Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy, Ron & Hermione)
Pop culture icons (Beyoncé & Jay-Z, Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds)
Fictional favorites (Fred & Wilma, Homer & Marge, Barbie & Ken)

This game was so much fun and a great way to get everyone involved, even if they had different interests!

3. Love Song Lyrics Challenge

For this game, print out lyrics from well-known love songs, but with some of the words removed. Guests have to fill in the missing lyrics. Bonus points if they can sing the line! From classic ballads to guilty pleasure love songs, this one is a riot!

4. The Newlywed (or Not-So-Newlywed) Game

For this game put together a hilarious Q&A session where couples have to answer questions about their relationship and see if their answers matched. Some questions were sentimental, and some were just plain funny! (Example: Who usually leaves dishes in the sink? or What’s their weirdest habit?)

Pro tip: Write the questions on cute cards and keep them for future game nights!
