What’s Galentine’s Day without a little romance?

- “HEar me out” cake
-
With the new TikTok trend, this is a fun twist on sharing your opinions! Get some cake and a printer ready. Each person decorates a cake with a “hot take” or unpopular opinion with printed pictures, revealing celebrity or character (often fictional) crushes. Then, take turns presenting and debating them in a lighthearted way. It’s a guaranteed way to spark hilarious conversations, unexpected confessions, and nonstop laughter. Let’s see what your cake reveals about you.
- PowerPoint presentations
-
Get creative and make PowerPoint slides on the funniest, most random topics about literally anything. Think: “Where Will We Be in 10 Years,” “My Friends’ Scandals If We Were Famous,” “How Each Friend Would End Up In Jail,” or “Ranking Our Exes Based on Red Flags.” Definitely going more over-the-top makes it better! Get creative with cringe-worthy pictures, absurd evidence, and dramatic charts to really sell your argument. Present them giving your best energy and skills and get ready for a night filled with belly laughs and iconic moments. This is a great way to celebrate and make new memories with your girls even if it’s debriefing about past Valentine’s fails.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance—it’s about love in all its forms, including friendship! There’s no need to spend it alone or feeling left out–go celebrate Galentine’s Day with your girls. With activities like crafting, baking, or laughing over a movie, what matters most is cherishing the amazing friendships in your life.
So, text your besties, set the date, and make this Galentine’s Day full of memories!
