Party Inspiration: Galentine's Day

Posted by Rachael Baker on 01/02/19

 

For some, Valentines day might be considered the best day of the year. For others, it might be an unwanted reminder of a single Facebook status. However, regardless of relationship status, it’s so nice to know our girlfriends always have our backs. 

What better way to spend a day about love than celebrating with your favorite people? Whether you hit the bar late-night and dance till you drop, or have a cozy night in - Galentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your besties! 

 

Food:

There are a plethora of tasty food options when it comes to celebrating with your gals. The “classic” Galentine’s day takes place as a brunch - the perfect opportunity for a heart shaped pancake or waffle bar, berry kabobs, and pink frosted donuts!

However, if your Galentine’s day is going to take place in the evening you can never go wrong with take out on the couch, or appetizers for dinner. If you just want to focus your energy on relaxing with your girls, add some sophistication to your night and hire a caterer to meet all your party needs.

Most importantly, the one element that your Galentine’s Day absolutely cannot go without is sweets! Chocolates, berries, and any heart shaped baked good are a major yes for your dessert bar. Browse our pinterest board for more sweet treat inspiration.

 

Drinks:

As a symbolic and literal toast to all of the amazing women in your life, we have one word for you: cocktails. Have each of your girlfriends bring a bottle, and have some pre-made drinks waiting at the bar like a lady in red, strawberry daiquiri, or a rose fizz. You can also take the hands off approach and have a bartender craft specialty drinks to make your party extra special.

Decorations, Extras & Entertainment:

There are so many ways to get creative when it comes to celebrating your besties. As for decorations, anything that would work for Valentine’s day will be perfect, (if not be better) for Galentine’s Day (still celebrating love here people!). This includes pink balloons, banners, napkins, etc. Add a Galentine’s day touch by purchasing this #gals banner or crafting your own to create the perfect insta-worthy photo op. To keep with in the Galentine's day theme, there are a ton of printable girl power quotes that can be framed and placed around the room or perhaps with a place setting if you’re hosting a brunch.
