Whether single or in a relationship, women always get a little tenser as February 14 approaches.
For the single ladies, the years fly by and soon red roses and candy hearts flood the grocery stores once again as a reminder of their lack of a significant other. Women in relationships start worrying about what plans are being made and what gifts need to be bought before the big day of love.
Luckily, there is a way to escape the stress: Galentine’s Day. Made famous by Leslie Knope on “Parks and Recreation,” Galentine’s Day is a day for ladies to celebrate ladies. This means leaving significant others at home and getting together with your girls for a well-deserved day of fun.
Here are a few ways to celebrate Galentine’s Day this year:
1. Party brunch-style
It doesn’t matter who you are, there is a part of you inside that loves all things brunch. Invite your girls over for chocolate chip waffles, bacon, and mimosas to get your Galentine’s Day party started.
2. Try a posh restaurant in the city
Trendy restaurants like champagne bars, fondue dinners or revolving sushi shows never disappoint. Make cute invitations and have your girls RSVP so you can make a reservation at your favorite restaurant. Get dressed up in cocktail attire to make it a night filled with high heels, red lipstick and Instagram posts.
3. Have a movie night
Movie nights, whether at the theater or on the couch, are a great way to bond with friends. Grab the popcorn, soda (or wine), and chocolate bars and enjoy a night of rom-coms or horror movies—whichever suits your style.
No matter what you do for Galentine’s Day, having a night with your girlfriends will make your February one to remember—no matter what happens the next day!
