As far as a day, it happens on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day. However, it’s all about the girls. So it doesn’t matter who is single, married, or engaged—everyone is included. Planning a Galentine’s party is so much fun!
Galentine’s Day Party Ideas to Aid in Planning
From Galentine food to adorable decorations, this Galentine’s Day cocktail party has you covered. Here are a few of our favorite Galentine’s Day ideas to implement in your celebration.
Incorporate themed Galentine food.
Wondering what to make for Galentine’s Day? Cupcakes! Who doesn’t adore miniature cakes adorned with icing? And best of all, these are personalized with the names of your BFFs. They’ll be surprised with a cut treat when they come and celebrate the day with you.
Add adorably unexpected details.
Hand lettering and mini cake labels are so thoughtful. What a great way to add in a personal touch while welcoming everyone. They can add a bit of panache to store-bought cupcakes, too. Therefore, don’t feel like you have to make everything from scratch.
Include Galentine’s Day favors.
Treat each of your friends to a pink rose, and don’t be afraid to do the table up right. Candies, sleeping masks, and other items can make fun Galentine’s Day favors, too.
Think about your Galentine’s Day decorations.
Lovely florals, bright napkins, and a few textural elements make this an extra special Galentine’s Day party setup.
Use a touch of sparkle!
Sparkles are everywhere! Not only is there jewelry, but there are also other gold elements AND that lovely glittery eyeshadow. Add in sparkling drinks, and the day is complete!
Keeping it casual is one of the best Galentine’s Day party ideas.
Sometimes it’s refreshing when an event is kept casual. Cute jeans, a classic t-shirt, and a sparkly necklace can have everyone party-ready in a jiffy. Saving time sounds like a Galentine’s Day present!
