Some of my best celebrations have been spent with my girls for Galentine’s! Whether you are single or in a relationship, Galentine’s is special, it is a celebration of love, the love that comes from sisterhood and friendship and having ‘gal pals’ is truly a blessing, and if you are lucky enough to have some amazing friendships then you should cherish and celebrate it!
Galentines is typically celebrated on Feb 15th, however, single gals may choose to get together on Feb 14th. There are no rules to how you celebrate Galentines, some girls decide to go out for dinner or do activities and others like to have to host the event at home. Whatever you do, Valentine’s is the perfect excuse to get your gals together.
If you are hosting or thinking about hosting Galentine’s this year, perhaps it’s even your first one and you are unsure how to be the hostess with mostess, then think of it as a typical girls’ night in with a little razzle-dazzle and the below guide.
Snacks & drinks
No girl’s night is complete without snacks and drinks for you and your besties to munch and drink while you put the world to rights.
There are a few choices regarding food, you can either:
- Keep it simple by laying buffet food or snacks out, such as chips, sweets ect
- Cook for your guests
- Arrange for everyone to bring a dish
- Order takeout
For drinks, rose wines and pink and red cocktails would fit the Galentine’s theme. You can jazz up your drinks by putting some edible glitter in them, fruits such as strawberries or raspberries or serving them in pretty glasses which are heart or love-themed. Make it cheaper by asking all guests to bring a bottle of something!

Decorations
Nothing says Galentine’s quiet like some decorations, it sets the mood for the event and looks hella cool for pictures. Since it’s all about love and friendship, many opt for a pink or red theme consisting of plenty of hearts, you don’t have to go too crazy with the decorations, sometimes the littlest of details make a huge difference, like some heart confetti sprinkled over the dinner table, or some heart-shaped bowls to put your snacks in.
Games
If there’s anything that guarantees some girl bonding and plenty of belly laughs it’s games. It will keep your guests entertained and there are so many choices to choose from, from bonding to dirty games, you will be spoilt for choice.
Goodies
Be the hostess with the mostess by providing your girls with a goodie bag. You can fill these with girlie accessories such as lotion, hair bobbles and pins, as well as sweet treats, and they don’t have to be expensive either, you can make it as cheap as you want it to be. A goodie bag is a nice touch and will create a memorable guest experience.
Whatever you and your gal pals choose to do for Galentine’s, ensure it’s a memorable day filled with love and laughter! xoxo
