Move over, Valentine’s Day—Galentine’s Day is here to steal the spotlight! 🌟 February 13th is all about celebrating the amazing women in your life, whether that’s your besties, coworkers, or the friends who feel like family. Inspired by Parks and Recreation, this unofficial holiday is now a beloved tradition filled with laughter, love, and (of course) waffles.
If you’re looking for fun ways to celebrate, we’ve got you covered! Here’s everything you need to plan the perfect Galentine’s Day.
Host a Classic Galentine’s Brunch
You can’t spell Galentine’s without brunch (okay, you can, but why would you?). Gather your friends for a fabulous meal filled with:
- A waffle bar with all the toppings.
- Mimosas, coffee, and cute pink cocktails.
- A toast to friendship—go around and share what you love about each other!
Bonus idea: Send guests home with mini candles or personalized friendship notes as party favors.
DIY Spa Night & Self-Care Party
If your friend group loves a good pampering session, set up a cozy spa night at home! All you need is:
- Face masks, mani-pedis, and essential oils.
- Cozy robes, candles, and relaxing music.
- DIY sugar scrubs or bath bombs as take-home treats.
Pair this with a heartfelt chat about self-love and goals for the year!
Game Night & Trivia Challenge
For a night full of laughter, break out the board games or create a custom trivia challenge! Ideas include:
- A friendship-themed trivia game—test how well you know each other!
- Fast-paced card games (bonus points if they’re themed around birds… Attempted Murder, anyone? 😉).
- A “Would You Rather: Bestie Edition” game for hilarious debates.
- Shop our collection of games and puzzles
Movie or TV Marathon Night
Nothing beats a cozy night in with your favorite ladies. Queue up some iconic female-led films or binge a series together. Perfect picks include:
- Parks and Recreation (obviously)
- Legally Blonde
- Bridesmaids
- Clueless
Make it even more fun with themed snacks and a friendship-themed drinking game!
Craft & Sip Night
Unleash your creativity with a DIY craft night! Grab some wine (or mocktails) and make:
- Friendship bracelets
- Personalized tote bags or mugs
- Handmade Galentine’s Day cards
It’s the perfect way to create a meaningful keepsake while spending quality time together.
Plan an Outdoor Adventure
If your crew loves the outdoors (and weather permits), consider a fun day out:
- A scenic hike or nature walk
- Roller skating or a picnic in the park
- A local coffee shop crawl (bonus points for trying all the seasonal drinks!)
Fresh air, good company, and cute photo ops—what more could you need?
Themed Gift Exchange
Who doesn’t love a surprise gift? Try one of these fun Galentine’s gift swaps:
- Secret Galentine’s (like Secret Santa, but in February!)
- “My Favorite Things” Exchange—each person brings their must-have item.
- DIY Self-Care Kits—fill them with candles, cozy socks, and little treats!
