Dear Friends! Ladies and Gentlemen, Children and Grown-ups!

You are welcome to our party, dedicated to St. Valentine’s Day, which is always held on February 14th and brings us happiness and good luck. St. Valentine is one of the popular holidays in Europe and America. It is the day, when people exchange greetings of affection, undying love or satirical comment.

St. Valentine’s Day, February 14th, has been a day customary for choosing sweethearts, and exchange love-tokens from time immemorial.

The method of choosing sweethearts on St. Valentine’s Day varied in different times and places. It could be a serious matter, leading to marriage; or it could be a kind of game. Countless generation of young people have acknowledged St. Valentine as the friend and patron of lovers.

So we also wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day! We ask all the participants to take their places! (звучит музыка и девушки выходят)
