Galentine’s Day is a celebration of friendship, particularly among women, and it takes place on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day.
The idea behind Galentine’s Day is to focus on showing love and appreciation for your friends, especially your female friends, in a way that’s separate from romantic relationships. It’s all about celebrating the bond between friends, having fun, and doing something special together, whether it’s through brunch, activities, or even just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company.
There are so many creative ways to celebrate Galentine’s Day! Here are a few fun ideas to help you plan the perfect day with your gals:
Brunch or Dinner Party
Throw a Galentine’s Day brunch or dinner with your closest friends! You could make it themed (e.g., waffles, mimosas, or a heart-shaped menu) or have everyone bring their favorite dish to share. It’s a great way to bond over delicious food!
DIY Craft Party
Get crafty with some DIY Galentine’s Day cards or personalized gifts. You could even do friendship bracelets or paint pottery to give each other as keepsakes!
Movie Marathon
Watch feel-good movies about friendship! You can go for classic rom-coms or pick ones with strong female leads and friendship vibes (think Legally Blonde, Thelma & Louise, Bridesmaids, etc.).
Spa Day or Self-Care Time
Pamper yourselves with a spa day—whether it’s at home with DIY face masks, manicures, and pedicures, or you treat yourselves to a spa day out. It’s a great way to relax and recharge together.
Galentine’s Gift Exchange
Host a little gift exchange! You can go for something small and thoughtful like cute socks, candles, or handmade items that represent your friendship. It’s more about the thought behind the gift than the cost.
Here is some inspiration with some of my favourite creators:
Outdoor Fun or Adventure
If you’re more active, you could spend the day doing something outdoors like hiking, ice skating, or even just taking a stroll through a park. Fresh air and some fun activities are a perfect combo for Galentine’s!
Wine or Cocktail Tasting
Set up a wine or cocktail tasting at home with your favorite drinks and snacks. You could even make Galentine’s-themed drinks (rose cocktails, anyone?) and have a cheers to your friendship.
Memory Lane
Take a trip down memory lane by reminiscing about all the great times you’ve had together. You can look through old photos, make a scrapbook, or tell funny stories from past adventures.
Game Night
Host a game night with board games, card games, or even online multiplayer games. It’s a light-hearted way to have fun, compete, and laugh together.
Galentine’s Day Photo Shoot
Get glam and have a photo shoot with your friends! You can create fun backdrops, like a pink and red balloon arch or cute props, and take lots of pictures to document the day.
What kind of vibe are you going for this year? Cozy, adventurous, or artsy?
Happy Love Month
Love,
