Before we get to Valentine’s Day, we get to celebrate Galentine’s Day! I love the idea of Galentine’s Day–a fun day to celebrate your girlfriends.
This holiday originated from Leslie Knope on Parks and Rec. It takes place on February 13th and is just a fun fake holiday we’ve added to the calendar.
Today I want to share 5 fun ways to celebrate with your friends!
-Galentine’s Day Brunch. I did a whole post on this last year, but I’m bringing it up again because who doesn’t love brunch? Check out the post for details.
-Movie Night. Bring out the cute jammies and pink popcorn, it’s time for a chick flick marathon. Some of my movie staples are Mean Girls, a Pitch Perfect Marathon, and anything Mary-Kate and Ashley…yes I have the classics on DVD. Netflix also has some killer rom-com options including: To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, When We First Met, Set It Up, and The Kissing Booth.
-Drink and get crafty. Visit a fun business that allows you make and take home a craft…while drinking. I recommend Painting With a Twist, Board and Brush, or The Sipping Plant.
-Dessert Party Potluck. I think this would be SO much fun. Rather than having a full blown dinner, have everyone make or bring their favorite dessert. Then pick several wines and champagnes to pair with the fun desserts. You may all be in a sugar coma afterwards, but calories don’t count on holidays right? Even fake holidays.
-Gifts for your BFFs. What better way to let your friends know you love them than with a small fun gift. This is great especially if they are long-distance. Here are a few of my favorite ideas:
Do you celebrate Galentine’s Day? What are you doing this year?
Oh my gosh how cute is this! I’ve never done a Galentines day before, but this sounds like such a cool thing to do! I would love to do brunch with girlfriends, and gift them a few cute pieces – I love your ideas!
I love all of these ideas so much! My friends already enjoy Painting with a Twist girls nights out but I love the idea of brunch and a girls movie night!
A dessert potluck would be a blast!
Okay why have I never done a dessert potluck before?! Dessert is my favorite so I need to make this happen in my life somehow. My plans are to have a baking night with two of my friends and I’m so looking forward to it!
I love the idea of Galentine’s Day! I don’t have a big group of female friends – or a big group of any gendered friends really, I’m very introverted ? – but I like to think of Galentine’s Day as a day to also treat yourself, even if there’s no one else around! I think a movie night would be my go-to celebration.
These are such fun and cute ideas! I feel like I should actually celebrate Galentine’s Day this year!
These are all fun ideas! My friends and I love going to wineries!
I like the idea of a dessert potluck. That would be so fun! I like to give a couple friends some gifts each year.
Such cute ideas! My friends and I usually just do a dinner and a movie.
I have been wanting to do something like this. How fun.
Can’t go wrong with brunch!
These sound so fun! I love the dessert potluck idea!
Galentine’s Day brunch is ALWAYS a good idea!
So many lovely ideas! I really love the idea of buying gifts for your girlfriends to let them know you appreciate them xx
