5 Galentines Parties to Throw With Your Single Ladies! 💖

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Calling all single ladies! Now is the time of the year to get together with all your best girlfriends and celebrate each other, and what better way to do so with some fun galentines parties — and I have 5 perfect themes for any occasion!

Also, be sure to check out the Pinterest boards below for more inspo! https://pin.it/6qYyIBV

You Have A “Pizza” My Heart

Pizza Pizza! This is such a fun way to get together with all your girlfriends and have a pizza night! And honestly, it is up to your imagination; you can make a heart-shaped pizza from scratch, make a dessert pizza with pink and red MnMs, or just celebrate with the cheesy goodness! After, throw what I like to call “living room picnics” where you lay a blanket out and you watch your favorite rom-com and dream about the 2000s heartthrobs.

Secret Cupid

Gift exchanges are a timeless party idea… especially if it involves self-care and surprise goodies! Before the party starts, have someone (ideally the host) assign people to get gifts for their “secret cupid” prior to the party. Then once the party starts, you reveal who your gift was for and do the gift exchange! It is also a great way to get to know each other better and dive deeper into what you think each other would like :)

Think Pink!

Whenever I think of Valentines, I think of flowers, chocolates, and the colorPINK! This pink theme is whatever you want it to be — a girls night in, movie night, a spa day, or pj slumber party! Complete with a signature pink drink, festive goodies, and being surrounded by your friends; this theme is timeless (in my opinion) and one can honestly do no wrong!

You’re a Char-Cutie-Rie

I am a big fan of charcuterie boards (and my friends can back me up on this). One of my favorite things about charcuterie boards is that you can put whatever you want on them. Traditionally, the board is filled with cheese, deli meats, olives, and spread; but in this case, you can do chocolate, marshmallows, candies, cookies, you name it!

I Donut Need a Man (When I’ve Got My Girls!)

This party can be thrown one of two ways; you can either get a box of your favorite SloDoCo flavors or get the glasses together for a bake night! Choose your favorite tonight flavors and make a decorating line. Choose from sprinkles, glaze, frosting, chocolate chips — the options are endless!

And be sure to listen to our Spotify playlist for the perfect vibe!

If you do throw either of these parties, be sure to tag us and hashtag #hccalpolyvday.
