Baby’s First Valentine’s Day
While I look forward to Valentine’s Day every year, this year I am extra excited because it will be my son’s very first Valentine’s Day! To help celebrate I am decorating the mantle for Valentine’s Day and getting our cards and gifts ready.
I don’t think of Valentine’s Day as a purely romantic holiday. Instead, I think of it more as a day to celebrate love. I want my “boys” — my son and my husband — to know how much they are loved. I have presents for my son, presents for my husband, plus presents from my son to his daddy.
In fact, I couldn’t even wait until Valentine’s Day to give my little guy one of his gifts. I ended up letting him open one early. Of course, in typical baby fashion, he was way more interested in the tissue paper and card than the actual toy!
I was able to get loads of goodies perfect for my little guy and my husband from the American Greetings collection at Walmart. Just look at my haul!
I stocked up on Valentine’s Day cards, stickers, both small and large bows, tissue paper, wrapping paper, and several different sizes of gift bags.
The wrapped gifts looked so festive and beautiful that I decided to display them along with my other Valentines decor on our mantle. Paired with my printable “Be Mine” banner, I think that we are all set with our Valentine’s Day decor.
Printable DIY Valentine Banner
I designed a bright and colorful Be Mine printable banner to hang across our mantle to give it a fun and festive Valentine’s Day look. Follow the simple instructions below to make this fun DIY Valentines banner for your home.
Valentine Banner Materials:
- “Be Mine” Valentine banner printable (available here)

Don’t forget to celebrate love this year with Valentine’s Day cards and gifts for your spouse, children, and other relatives, as well as cards from your kids to their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and teachers.

I love this banner! It turned out really good. I love making Valentine’s items like these. I have to say that your son is so cute too!
Love this banner! Easy to make and such a fun decoration for the mantle! #client
Nice inspiration for valentine’s day. Along with your banner, I particularly loved those greetings cards at Walmart. It becomes so difficult to choose that special greeting card when they are loaded in hundreds.
Loved this banner! Nice little thing to make for the pictures of kids celebrating. I’m saving this to use as a school prop next year.
