Who says Valentine’s Day party decor ideas have to break the bank? The answer: Goop, probably. But as far as we’re concerned, Valentine’s gifts are where to stretch your budget. Decor? Not so much.

From inexpensive, heart-covered string lights to full decorating kits, everything on this list is under $20 (and most of it is under $10). We’re not pranking you. April 1 is still a few months off.

Throwing an themed Valentine’s Day party just got way cheaper. You can use the extra budget on chocolate. We’re happy to co-sign that choice.
25 Budget-Friendly Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas (1)

1. Glitter Beaded Heart Hanging Decoration, $5

Just to be clear, this is a glittery, beaded heart decoration that comes in either pink or red and hangs from a matching ribbon.

Not to be confused with a glittery, beating heart, which sounds significantly more frightening and better for a Silence of the Lambs-themed dinner party than a Valentine’s Day party. We just gave you an excellent idea, didn’t we?

2. Light-Up Fiberboard Heart LED Sign, $15

This red fiberboard heart sign lights up from within, thanks to hidden string lights. It’s the same way you light up when you see your sweetie. Though, thankfully you don’t need string lights inside you to do that. We hope.

3. Valentine’s Day Plastic Yard Signs, $15

Inspired by classic conversation heart candies, these Valentine’s Day yard signs tell your neighbors to “Be Mine” and that they are “Cute Stuff.”

If you’re not friendly to your neighbors, just replace the words with equally important messages, like “Get Off My Lawn” and “My Lemon Tree is Not Communal Property.” You may need more ink.

4. Red Heart Doormat, $13

With red hearts of all different sizes on a brown background, this Valentine’s Day doormat is perfect for welcoming guests to your holiday dinner party.

It’s also a perfect gift to give to a friend who acts like a doormat with her partner. Hopefully, she’ll get the message and dump them. If not, at least now she has a cool doormat.

5. Plush Puppy Balloon Weight, $7

This white and brown plush puppy isn’t just adorable. It serves a purpose by weighing down balloon bouquets.

Is your partner as helpful as this puppy? If not, may we suggest the pupper be your Valentine instead? He’s probably a better cuddler anyway.

6. 300-Count Red Rose Petals, $10

These red fabric rose petals are so versatile. Use them to sprinkle around your party or spell out sweet words like: “Marry Me,” “I Love You,” or “Did You Do The Dishes?”

Ah, love.

7. Battery Operated Valentine’s Day Heart LED String Lights Warm White, $11.99

Featuring multi-colored hearts illuminated with white lights on a white wire, these battery-operated LED string lights add a pop of color to the sea of red that is your Valentine’s Day decor.

Having a green heart would be concerning under most circ*mstances, but it’s perfectly okay in this case.

8. Pink and Red Hearts Tinsel Hanging Decoration, $3

Got a pair of hearts? Go fish. Wait, wrong game.

But you would have a pair of hearts if you picked up these super sweet, tinsel-covered hanging heart decorations, which come in a set of one pink and one red heart. Now, can someone teach me how to play poker for real?

9. Red Heart Gem Plastic Table Scatter, $2

Who needs diamonds when you can have these red heart-shaped gems decorating your Valentine’s Day table? Go mining for gems for the holiday.

Not to be confused with miming, as in, having a mime over for Valentine’s Day. But we’re sure he’d be thrilled to be there — even if he couldn’t say it.

10. Pink, Red and Iridescent 3D Heart Foil & Plastic Hanging Decorations, $7

The layers separate on these pink, red, and iridescent white hearts to create a stunning 3-D effect, no 3-D glasses needed. You can wear them if you want, though. They’re quite a fashion statement.

11. Valentine’s Felt Vertical Heart Wall Art, $10

This hanging wall art features felt hearts of yellow, pink, black, and white, adding some vibrant colors to your Valentine’s Day decor. It’s so pretty that you may want it up all year round.

At least, that’s what you’ll tell people if you’re feeling too lazy to put it away. Don’t worry, we understand.

12. Red XOXO Cursive Sign, $8

There’s only one problem with this red tabletop sign made of medium-density fiberboard and covered in Xs and Os. They don’t teach cursive in many schools anymore. Can all the Gen-Zers at your party even read it?

13. Red Heart Ornament and Tinsel Wreath, $12.75

Who says ornaments are just for Christmas? This heart-shaped wreath is covered in red ball ornaments of all different shapes and sizes, along with tons of red tinsel.

The color red seems to have a seat at every holiday party table, huh? Must be that Taylor-Swift-wrote-an-album-about-you privilege.

14. Red Plush Heart Valentine’s Day Weighted Pillow, $8

Weighted with plastic pellets, this red, plush, heart-shaped pillow can help weigh down balloon bouquets.

But weighted pillows are also great stress relievers, so go ahead and cuddle it when you find out that your partner forgot to make Valentine’s Day dinner reservations. Mac and cheese it is.

15. Pink, Red and White Valentine’s Day Room Decorating Kit, $15

This room decorating kit comes with fringe garlands, strings of hearts, swirling strips, and cutouts of hearts, lips, and adorable Cupids. Because, sometimes, you just want a Room in a Box instead of buying a bunch of little pieces of decor.

Next, someone needs to work on selling a Valentine in a Box instead of looking for a date.

16. Glitter Tinsel Heart Bouquet, $10

May your love grow as much as this glitter heart arrangement: bright red and stuffed with tinsel.

Oh, it doesn’t grow? We might have skipped anatomy class a few too many times.

17. Valentine’s Soft Duo Figure PB&J, $5

This plush tabletop decor featuring an adorable couple of slices of bread slathered with peanut butter and jelly is a super cute addition to your Valentine’s Day decor. Unless your sweetie has a peanut allergy. Then this kind of reads more as a threat.

18. Pink and Red Heart Paper Doilies, $4

These scalloped-edged paper doilies with pink and red hearts help you keep the table clean during your Valentine’s Day dinner. All those chocolate-covered strawberries don’t agree with mahogany.

19. Valentine’s Day Felt Sign, $5.25

Featuring Valentine’s Day wishes and red, white, and pink hearts of various shades and sizes, this felt sign is a perfect way to welcome your guests to the party.

Your guests have never felt more welcome. And we’ve never felt the need to give up Dad jokes, so we’re not starting now.

20. Heart Lights, $9

These string lights, covered in glittery red hearts, really lighten things up. Although if you’re not a fan of your Valentine’s Day gifts, we’re not sure these lights will be much of a consolation prize. Hey, you could always still be on Tinder. *shudder*

21. Light-Up Valentine’s Day Rose Garland, $5.25

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But that’s not entirely true. This light-up garland, with white and pink illuminated roses on a vine-like copper wire, doesn’t actually smell like anything.

Look at us, proving Shakespeare wrong.

22. Red Spray Centerpiece, $1.30

The words “red spray” may not exactly sound romantic. But thankfully, this red centerpiece, with long foil strands and stars, isn’t as menacing as it sounds. We assume.

23. Light-Up Love Marquee Sign, $20

This wood marquee sign features metal letter cutouts spelling LOVE, illuminated with light bulbs. The bad news? Batteries are not included.

We know. Those are the most dreaded words in existence next to: “Honey, where’s my super suit?”

24. Red Fairy LED String Lights, $8

These wire string lights feature small attached red lights so you can make your room super atmospheric this February. Though the fog machine might be a bit much.

25. Wood Valentine Shadowbox I Like You, $5

Shadowboxing on Valentine’s Day? A little strange. A shadowbox in a red frame that says “I like you” in bright colors? Much better. And less likely to result in an accidental injury (we hope).
