Valentines Day
is only 2 day’s way, what are you doing for your loved one? Me, I’m doing jack shit. No fancy dinner or going out, just being lazy
and playing video games. If you want to
do something for your loved one, or plan on doing a romantic dinner in the near
future why not make it a throw back style of classic video games.
Décor
Lighting is
the one key to setting the tone for romance.
It is harder to put the moves on in a well light room than it is in a
dim room. For our romantic dinner we are
going with soft red lighting scheme. You
want to go for more of a bedroom sunset feel rather than a red light district
selling off prostitutes.
Suspend from
the ceiling and place along the walls 8 bit hearts and flowers. You can easily print off a bunch of hearts
and flowers, glue them on to cardboard. The
cardboard makes the images pop out more form the wall and with hang a little sturdier.
Or
Moving onto
the table, use a tall square table and drape this lovely fabric over it. This particular fabric I found on Spoonflower
and I find that it ties into the 8 bitness well.
For your centerpiece
have 4 bouquets of 8 bit flowers.
For dinner I
planed out a sushi dinner, that way you can share and be interactive with each
other. I found a couple of plates that
fit that retro 8 bit style:
Or
Champagne brings out the
giddiness in a woman (sometimes a man). I
found this cool champagne glasses that your have to keep together in a
vase. Instead of filling the vase with sand (like it
is pictured below) why not fill it with tiny legos and bricks.
And to eat
your sushi, you can go with a traditional pair of chopsticks or find some Lego
ones!
Don’t forget to change into a nice shirt and
pants. Style it with an 8 bit tie of bow tie!

Gifts
Yes even though you put together
this wonderful meal and evening, you still need to get them a gift so they will
always remember this night.

8 Bit Watch
Fully Functional Wooden NES Controller Coffee Table (a great
way to end the evening with both of you playing old games together)
With
pixilated moves like you will be putting on your lady or gentleman you are sure
to score some point with them. Like
always I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions on what I
should do for the next Party Wednesday; or have pics you would like to share
just send them my way. See you Friday
for some ranting or whatever.
See you on the other side
