Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples! Galentine’s Day, celebrated on February 13th, is the perfect excuse to gather your best friends and celebrate the love and sisterhood that makes life special. Whether you want a cozy night in or an exciting day out, here are some fun and memorable ways to mark the occasion with your girls.
1. Brunch with a Twist
Nothing says Galentine’s like a delicious brunch. Elevate the experience by adding a theme or a dress code. Pick a cute café or host at home with heart-shaped waffles, fresh pastries, and pink drinks.
2. Sip & Paint
Unleash your inner artist with a sip and paint session. Whether you book a class or set it up at home with canvases and acrylics, it’s a great way to sip, chat, and create something fun.
3. Self-Care Spa Day
Treat yourselves to a luxurious spa day. Book massages and facials at a spa, or DIY it at home with face masks, mani-pedis, and aromatherapy candles. Pair it with a playlist of feel-good songs and herbal teas or cocktails for the ultimate relaxation.
4. Pajama Party
Get into comfy PJs and binge-watch classic rom-coms, empowering chick flicks, or nostalgic favourites from your teen years. Pop some popcorn, make themed cocktails, and indulge in your favourite sweets.
5. Themed Dinner Party
Pick a fun theme like 90s Throwback, and have everyone dress up accordingly. Serve themed dishes and play games or trivia related to the theme. It’s a fantastic way to bond over good food and great conversation.
6. Book Club and Wine Night
If you and your friends love to read, pick a book by your favourite author and discuss it over wine and snacks. You can also swap favourite books as Galentine’s gifts. Bonus points if you make custom bookmarks as keepsakes!
7. Adventure Day
For an active celebration, try something new together. You can go hiking, take a dance class, try roller skating, or go to an escape room. The shared experience will make for great memories and hilarious stories.
8. DIY Craft Party
Get creative with a DIY craft night. Try candle-making, jewelry design, or creating vision boards for the year ahead. It’s a fun and productive way to bond while making something unique.
9. Game Night Extravaganza
Play a mix of board games, card games, or even video games for a night of friendly competition. Add some fun prizes for the winners and a few “Galentine’s Day dares” to keep things interesting.
10. Karaoke Night
Sing your hearts out with a private karaoke night at a lounge or set up a mini-stage at home. Create a playlist of empowering anthems and nostalgic girl-group hits for the ultimate sing-along.
Make the night extra special with a small gift swap. Set a theme, like self-care items, books, or personalized trinkets, so everyone leaves with a thoughtful memento of your friendship.
No matter how you celebrate, the best part of Galentine’s Day is spending quality time with your friends and appreciating the love and laughter they bring into your life. Cheers to strong, supportive, and fabulous friendships!
