We love Valentine’s Day, but what we love most about this holiday is the spin on celebrating your girlfriends and coordinating a Galentine’s Day. Friendships are such an essential part of our lives and well-being, so it’s important to take the time to celebrate them. Consider this your sign to host a Galentine’s Day with your best friends! Read on for a few fun suggestions on how to celebrate with your favorite gals!
DIY Spa Night
Grab your favorite face masks, DIY some hair treatments, and gather your mani/pedi materials and tools for a relaxing and cozy spa night. Elevate the experience with a creative charcuterie board to snack on throughout the evening, and pop open a few bottles of wine to fully unwind.
Brunch Party
Set up a DIY waffle or pancake bar and enjoy a relaxing brunch with mimosas, coffee, fresh fruit, and all the waffles and pancakes you can imagine. Add a creative touch by setting up a “make-your-own bouquet” station where guests can craft floral arrangements to take home.
Movie Marathon
Nothing says cozy quite like a movie marathon at home. Slip into your comfiest Valentine’s-themed attire–think slippers, fuzzy socks, and heart-patterned pajamas–and settle in with your favorite rom-coms. Stock up on snacks or order takeout for the ultimate stress-free evening of movies and laughs.
Craft Night
Unleash your creativity with a craft night! Whether it’s wine-and-paint, making bracelets, crafting charm keychains, or any other fun project, this is your chance to get artsy with your best friends. Tap into your inner child and let your imagination run wild.
Galentine’s Adventure
If your group leans more adventurous, plan an outing together. Choose a scenic hike, head to the beach, or pack a picnic for a day at the park. Feeling extra daring? Plan a weekend getaway! Visit a winery, escape to a warm destination, or hit the slopes for a snowy retreat.
Bake Together
Bonding over food is always a win, and baking together is even better. Whip up and decorate cakes, cookies, or pastries that fit your group’s tastes. Not only is it a fun activity, but you’ll also have sweet treats to enjoy together!
Dinner and Drinks
Keep it simple with dinner and drinks at your favorite local spot. Make reservations at a cozy restaurant, then head to a bar or winery for some post-dinner fun. Feeling festive? Finish the night with karaoke and let loose! Whatever the plan, you’re sure to have an unforgettable time with your Galentine’s crew.
However you choose to celebrate, you’re bound to have a fantastic time with your closest Galentine’s. Cherish the opportunity to honor the friendships that bring joy and meaning to your life–it’s what this holiday is all about!
