Valentine’s Day gets all the hype, but what about the holiday on February 13th? Yes, there is a holiday on February 13th and it is your new favorite (single-friendly) holiday: Galentine’s Day! This day is dedicated to all your favorite ladies who are there for you through thick and thin. A perfect day to spoil them and yourself, we have these 8 tips to help you plan a perfect party.
- Decoratations
-
It is not a party without decorations. Choosing a theme for your Galentine’s party will make it so much more official and it’s a great excuse for everyone to dress up (or dress down if you make it a pajama party.) Decorate your space up to set the mood for the perfect best friend’s date.
- Themed Food
-
A love themed party means you have to have heart-shaped pizza, no excuses. Spoil your girls with loads of their favorite food and they’ll definitely feel appreciated. Make it even more special by letting everyone frost their own cupcake or dip their own strawberries.
- Secret Cupid
-
Secret Cupid is exactly like its Christmas colleague Secret Santa. Assign everyone a secret cupid and do a cute Galentine’s gift exchange on the big day. Handmade gifts make this 100 times more special.
- Go Out
-
No one said you have to keep the Galentine’s Day party in the house. Plan something fun to do together that you haven’t done before, like painting classes or cooking classes! Even if the paintings turn out laughable, these good memories will last forever.
- Reservations
-
Don’t want to cook for everyone? No worries! Take your besties out to that nice restaurant you all love, just like a traditional Valentine’s date. For sure dress up and definitely get the dessert at the end.
- Spa Day
-
Or treat yourself and your besties to a much needed spa day. Get manis, pedies and facials so you’re ready for your Valentine’s date (or just to pamper yourself because you all deserve it).
- Photo Ops
-
You have to take good photos together on this special day. If you’re keeping the party indoors, get out your materials and put together a quick DIY backdrop. If you’re moving the party outside, get your self-timers ready so you can take these insta-worthy photos of you and all the girls.
- Sleepover!
-
The best part of the night is if it never ends! Turn it into a slumber party and put on your fave RomComs. We’d like to remind you of blanket forts.
These 8 tips guarantee the best Galentine’s Day party. As long as you’re surrounded by your best friends, you’ll have the best day- no matter what decorations or reservations you have.
