Because Love Stories Start Early
Just because kids might not have their own Valentine’s Day dates does not mean they do not love stories.
Kids adore fairytales, heroes, friendships, and characters who care deeply for one another. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to bring those stories to life and create a party that feels magical, memorable, and full of heart.

Think less about romance and more about connection. Friendship, family, bravery, loyalty, and kindness are all forms of love kids already understand. When you build a Valentine’s Day party around those ideas, it becomes something truly special.
Valentine’s Day is the ultimate daytime celebration to invite favorite celebrity couples and storybook characters into your home, classroom, or event space and make your child’s Valentine’s Day party epic.
Here are some of our favorite Valentine’s Day character pairings that kids absolutely love.
Sister Love with Elsa and Anna
If there is one love story kids connect with instantly, it is sister love.
Inviting Elsa and Anna to your Valentine’s Day party brings warmth, music, and comfort into the room. Their bond shows kids that love does not always mean romance. Sometimes it means support, courage, and standing by each other.
And of course, no Frozen celebration is complete without a warm hug from Olaf. Singing, dancing, and interactive play make this pairing perfect for younger kids and mixed age groups.
‘Let it go’ when it comes to worrying if the party will be good. Elsa and Anna’s energy will take care of that!
Story Time with Belle and the Beast
It does not get more classic than Belle and the Beast.
This pairing is a beautiful way to tie Valentine’s Day into storytelling and imagination. A story time moment, gentle dancing, or interactive games inspired by fairytales can spark a love of reading and stories in young kids.
It is a tale as old as time, but it still works. Especially on Valentine’s Day, when kindness, curiosity, and seeing the good in others are the perfect messages to share.
Double Date Fun with the Toy Story Gang
Valentine’s Day does not have to be quiet or calm.
Invite Buzz Lightyear, Woody, andJessie for a high energy Valentine’s celebration full of laughter and play.
The Toy Story crew is perfect for active parties. Dancing, bubbles, limbo, and interactive games keep kids moving and smiling. These characters bring friendship and teamwork front and center, reminding kids that love also means having fun together.
The toys are ready to leave Andy’s room and come straight to your house or classroom.
Brave Hearts with Superhero Duos
Saying “I love you” takes courage, and who better to model bravery than superheroes.
Superhero duos like Batman and Batgirl, Wonder Woman and Superman, or even Harley Quinn and the Joker bring excitement and confidence to a Valentine’s Day party.
These pairings are great for kids who love action, movement, and big personalities. They show that love can look like protecting others, standing up for what is right, and working as a team.
A Timeless Classic with Mickey and Minnie
Some love stories never go out of style.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are sweet, playful, and instantly recognizable. Whether you are one or ninety one, there is something comforting about seeing these two together.
They are perfect for Valentine’s Day parties because they appeal to all ages. Singing, dancing, photos, and gentle games make this pairing feel warm and joyful, and yes, sweeter than cotton candy.
Valentine’s Day for kids is not about dates. Its about stories, imagination, and connection.
When you invite beloved character pairs to celebrate friendship, family, bravery, and kindness, you are not just throwing a party. You are creating a world kids can step into, even if just for an hour.
With the right characters and interactive entertainment, Valentine’s Day becomes a memory kids will carry with them long after the hearts and candy are gone.
And that is what makes it truly special.
