3 Steps to Host a Valentine’s Day Event with Hobnob

At Hobnob, we LOVE Valentine’s Day. There is just something about chocolate in the shape of hearts, roses (or tulips if you prefer), and twinkly lights that makes everything better.

And to make things EVEN better, a little birdie told us you want to host an event. The decision to host an event is a big one, and most importantly…AWESOME. In this post, we’re going to walk through the basics on how to kick things off. 

Are you ready?

Let’s Celebrate!

The first few weeks of February are the perfect time to host your first (or hundredth) event. Many of us love to celebrate love in one way or another, and honestly — who can say no to an amazing party? With Hobnob, you can plan, edit, communicate and share photos all in one place. We like to make things simple!

First things first, you’re going to want to check out our features so you know how to start planning. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the basics here. Install the app, take a tour, and create your first event.

And whether you are celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s (where are our ladies at?!), or simply enjoying the night off with a glass of wine — we have a little something for you to make things even more fun! Introducing our NEW Valentine’s Day flyers 🎉.

Choosing the Right Flyer (for You)

Ok, ok, we may be a little biased — but these new flyer designs are so cool. You may or may not know this, but flyers are absolutely essential for catching the attention of your guest list. Just think: what is one memorable event that you attended? Just one! Was there a flyer involved? We’ll bet on it 😉

It is super important to us to include diverse designs that support various event types. When you hop on to choose your flyer design, you’ll be able to match yours to a theme and even customize it with your own content like pictures and videos.

Also, no need to worry about the avenue you're choosing to send your invites (text, email, or socials) — the flyer will look stunning no matter what. Let’s get started!

How to Send Your Invites

Once you’ve chosen and designed your flyer, you’re going to want to make a guest list. Trying to impress the girl who sits across from you at work? Add her to the list. Are the girls in town to hang? Write their names down! No matter how big or small your guest list is, this is a big part of the planning process.

With Hobnob, you can send your invites through text or email. Your guests will be able to RSVP, message you, find the address, add it to their calendar, and view/add photos from the event! Check out these easy steps to send your invites.

Starting to get excited? You’re killin’ it!

There are so many reasons to celebrate Valentine’s Day. No matter where you live, how old you are, or how you’re planning to spend the day, YOU deserve to have fun. In the meantime, we’re here to walk you through the process — seamlessly.

P.S. Don’t forget to tag us in your photos! We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
