A Valentine's Day Scavenger Hunt

Teresa has 3 friends from her ward plus herself planning a scavenger type hunt pre-Valentine's Day Dinner and had one available space left, so she invited me to join them. We met and planned last week what we were going to do and tonight will be the dinner and hunt. The idea is to have the husbands go around hunting for our stuff that we left at certain places and then they have to decide what items are their wife's. I was the clue writer and associated everything to Disney type movies and fairytales (I love fairytales!) and left the clues in the cases of the movies--having VHS tapes still come in handy, even if it is just for the case. It should be a fun evening and excited to see how it turns out. Here are the clues:

A Happily Ever After Date

begins right here

With maidens, princesses, and mermaids,

Your clues are ever so clear.

Your tasks are ever so simple

You must find which one belongs

To your own sweetheart and princess

which is their book, lipstick, or songs.

Nine different places you'll visit

An item will be waiting for you

To stash inside your honey's bag

Of pink or brown or blue.

So, starting right here and now

You'll build your perfect date

With the items of their choosing

So hurry and don't be late!

• "Oliver and Company" may have had a bag lady or two, But your task is to find your lady's bag. Phe-ew!
• The Prince found Cinderella by trying on her shoe, So you must find your true love's shoe by doing the same thing too.
• Aurora was sleeping peacefully with a flower in her hand, so pick your wife's favorite flower found within the land.
• Lady and the Tramp went to their favorite place to dine, now you have to decide what your wife picked for you two to spend some time.
• Ariel had a song to sing to her true love beau, now pick your love's favorite music or favorite movie show.
• Belle always had her nose within her favorite book, but now you must find your wife's, so look and look and look.
• Alice tried some yummy candy that made her grow, now you must find your wife's favorite that you know.
• Snow White had lips...as the red, red, rose. What does your wife wear on her lips? Do you knows?
• The Angels are a baseball team where you could have some fun, but where would your wife like to go after your dinner is done?
• You should have 8 items within your wife's bag, so hurry on to Bill and Sandy's and please don't lag.

Post Script: We had an awesome evening! We had hors d'oeuvres first and then sent the men on the scavenger hunt. Chris got 6 out of my nine items correct. He picked the wrong shoe, lipstick (I don't wear it), and place to go--he picked a movie gift card, but the wrong one. We had dinner at Sandy and Bill's house with prime rib roast, red rosemary potatoes, julienned carrots, broccoli, homemade rolls, peach soup--chilled, salad, and chocolate or lemon cake. We ended up with a game of how well do you know your spouse. Oh, we also had homemade chocolates.
