4 Ways to Spend Valentine’s Day with Your BFFs

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

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Some people dread the day because they feel so alone when they see other couples all around them; however, you don’t need to spend the day of love with a significant other! You can simply spend the day with your best group of friends. I wanted to share with my four favorite Valentine’s Day traditions that I do with my close group of friends.

1. Movie Marathon

Who does not love a movie marathon with their friends? Sometimes we get so caught up in day to day life that we forget to find time to do the little things. A movie that I love to watch on Valentine’s Day is the movie Valentine’s Day. This movie will have you nonstop laughing, and maybe crying.  This Valentine’s Day make time to round of your BFFS and gather round the big screen for some Nicholas Sparks, chocolate, wine, and laughs or cries!

2. Craft Night 

If you are into crafts, then I recommend gathering all your friends together and turning the night into a night of craft making You can get your friends together and you all can create a Pinterest board and get all your ideas together for a night of fun! Another good idea is for each friend to bring their own craft they wanted to show others how to make. Crafting in itself is fun, but why not make it even better by spending it with your best friends?! This night can be a night filled with laughs and fun. Who knows, you might even be able to make some cute decorations for your house! 

3. Dessert Potluck + Binge Watching 

Who doesn’t love to lay back and eat their favorite desserts with their favorite people? There are tons of cute desserts that can be made, especially if you use Pinterest. What else makes eating fun? Watching your favorite shows with your favorite gal pals! Don’t we all have shows we want to catch up on or watch but we never have the time? Bring the desserts and your friends out to binge watch your favorite shows together. This is a time for you to let your taste buds and chit chat go wild.

4. Beauty Night 

What girl does not love a good beauty treatment? Sometimes we don’t have the time to get beauty treatments by ourselves, so what better way than doing it with your friends? Make the night a “bring your favorite beauty product and share with everyone” kind of night. Bring out your favorite nail polish, your favorite facial mask, and don’t forget your favorite snack to have a night of pampering and snacks!

These are just some of the many ideas that you can use to spend Valentine’s Day with your BFFs. Make the best of the day and whatever you decide to do just enjoy spending quality time with your friends. Spending time with your favorite is an important part of life, we may not always get to see them so why not make the most of spending the day with your best group of friends!
