Entice and excite your valentine with an invitation that suggests what the evening will hold. All it takes is a box, some tissue or tulle and a cutout heart to keep your honey simmering throughout the day. First, purchase a red colored box or use one that you can wrap in red paper. Place the tissue paper or tulle/netting (use either red and/or white) inside for lining. Be generous, so it looks lush and inviting. Scatter about confetti (shredded paper) at the bottom of the box to convey a fun, party attitude. Next, cut out your heart and on the heart, jot down some details of the evening. For those who prefer to talk than write, record your invite on a cassette tape instead.

 Don't reveal everything, though, because you want to create some mystery. Finally, place your heart in the box, wrap it up in the red paper and hand-deliver or messenger it to your favorite valentine. Note: A heart-shaped box of candy with a detailed ''heart" inside also works for those who are craft-impaired.
