How to Throw the Ultimate Galentine’s Party 💕
Valentine’s Day is cute and all, but let’s be real, Galentine’s Day is where the real fun happens. It’s the perfect excuse to gather your girls, wear tons of pink, and celebrate the real loves of your life: your besties. Whether you’re hosting a cozy night in or going full glam, here’s everything you need to throw the ultimate Galentine’s party.
1. Set the Vibe: Because Aesthetic is Everything
First things first, pick a theme. Are we going for soft pinks and romantic candlelight, or is this a full-on glitter explosion? Some fun ideas:
Chic & Cozy: Think satin PJs, fairy lights, and a decorating cookies.
Old Hollywood Glam: Red lips, vintage outfits, and pearls everywhere.
Y2K Sleepover: Face masks, gossip, and a nostalgic rom-com marathon.
Whatever theme you choose, make sure it’s Insta-worthy (because let’s be honest, pics will be taken). A cute dress code also adds to the fun, think silky dresses, statement earrings, and layered necklaces for that effortlessly put-together look.
2. Drinks & Snacks
No party is complete without good food and drinks. Here’s how to keep it cute and delicious:
DIY Cocktail (or Mocktail) Bar: Let everyone mix their own drinks with fun add-ins like edible flowers, pink sugar rims, and fresh berries.
Charcuterie Board Goals: Cheese, fruit, chocolate, and anything bite-sized—because we love variety. You can even cut the cheese into little heart shapes!
Sweet Treats: Heart-shaped cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, or a pastel cake because dessert is a must.
3. Fun & Games: Keep the Energy High
You need something to do between all the sips and selfies! Here are some fun activities:
Friendship Bracelets: A nostalgic throwback that doubles as a cute party favour.
Sip & Spill: A fun mix of “Never Have I Ever” and deep convos.
Killer Playlist & Karaoke: Because no Galentine’s is complete without belting out your fave song at least once.
DIY Love Letters (to Yourself!): Write a letter hyping yourself up to open next year.
4. The Perfect Party Favours: A Little Luxe Goes a Long Way
Everyone loves a cute takeaway! Instead of basic goodie bags, go for something a little more thoughtful:
A mini perfume or luxe candle
A handwritten note telling your friends why they’re iconic
Chic jewellery pieces—so they can remember this Galentine's every time they wear their gift.
A pair of bow earrings or a dainty bracelet is a perfect touch, something timeless that reminds your girls how much you appreciate them.
5. The Dress Code: Effortless but Extra
Your Galentine’s outfit should be fun, a little flirty, and totally you. Whether you’re in a slip dress or your comfiest loungewear, adding a few accessories will instantly elevate your look. A pair of statement hoops, layered gold necklaces, or a bracelet stack? Chef’s kiss.
Because the best part about Galentine’s isn’t just looking good, it’s feeling good, surrounded by the women who always hype you up.
Final Touch: The Playlist
No party is complete without a killer playlist. Listen to Kali Uchis, Ariana, old-school Britney, and a little throwback R&B for the perfect mix of hype songs and slow jams.
And that’s it, you’re officially ready to host the best Galentine’s ever. So grab your girls, raise a glass, and celebrate the people who truly get you. Because at the end of the day, friendships last longer than a bouquet of roses (and definitely longer than some of our past situationships).
Happy Galentine’s! 💕
