Ideas to Celebrate Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate the incredible women in your life—whether they’re your best friends, sisters, or coworkers. It’s all about love, laughter, and creating meaningful memories with your favorite gals. If you’re looking for fun and creative ways to mark the occasion, we’ve got you covered!

What is Galentine’s Day?

First coined by Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation, Galentine’s Day is celebrated on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day. It’s dedicated to cherishing the bonds of female friendship and appreciating the love and support you share with your besties. 

Think of it as Valentine’s Day, but for the girls who’ve been by your side through thick and thin. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, Galentine’s Day is your time to prioritize and celebrate with your best friends!

With that in mind, in this post we’ve rounded up the best Galentines Day ideas for celebrating with your friends. 

Host a Galentine’s Brunch Party

Channel your inner Leslie Knope and celebrate Galentine’s Day in the original way with a brunch fit for queens. Whip up heart-shaped waffles, serve mimosas, and create a pink-themed spread with berries, pastries, and cute desserts. Add a DIY mimosa or coffee bar for an extra special touch.

If your Galentine’s get together is in the evening then a dinner party is a great way to make the gathering special but relaxed. Whether you plan a 3 course meal or keep it more informal with charcuterie boards, your guests are sure to be wowed either way!

Spa Night at Home

Transform your space into a relaxing spa retreat. Stock up on face masks, nail polish, and essential oils, then light some candles and play calming music. Give each other mini makeovers, manicures, or simply lounge in comfy robes with a glass of wine. This is a perfect way to unwind and enjoy some much-needed pampering.

Movie Marathon and Chill

Nothing beats cozying up with your besties for a movie marathon. Choose a lineup of empowering, feel-good movies like Legally Blonde, Bridesmaids, or Clueless. Pair it with popcorn, chocolates, and themed cocktails for the ultimate cozy night in. Bonus points if you all wear matching pajamas!

Wine Tasting or Cocktail Class

For a more elevated celebration, plan a wine-tasting night or hire a mixologist to teach a cocktail-making class.
