A Little Love for the Anti-Valentine


So the countdown is on for all those madly in love at the beginning of 2015! Only a few days left and counting. And only 4 days until we’re past what may be known as the most torturous holiday of the year for singles. Valentine’s Day may be the money maker of all Hallmark Holidays for those in love, but there’s another catering customer that shouldn’t be forgotten on this holiday of hearts – the Anti-Valentine. Single’s and Anti-Valentine’s Day catered parties are becoming almost as popular as Valentine’s Day itself. Here are a few ideas to appeal to the Blue Valentines.

Single Ladies Dinner
Play a little Beyoncé and gather all the single ladies (All the single ladies!). Offering a singles dinner option can capture a different audience and give you a chance to shake things up in the kitchen. Instead of adorable love-themed dinner items for two, you can brainstorm some ideas for a group of single gals who enjoy the free bird side of life.

Stupid Cupid Party
For every person who’s happy as a clam being single there’s someone else who is a little bitter about their status on Valentine’s Day. So on the flip side of those celebrating the single life, we suggest a Stupid Cupid dinner menu for those who are a little upset with the arrow shooting cherub. Everyone deserves a good dinner on Valentine’s Day.
