What Are the Best Galentine’s Day Ideas?
These ideas will make your party unforgettable and Insta-worthy. I’ve tried some of these with my girls, and they always bring the best vibes and so many laughs!
1. Cute & Comfy PJ Bash
Let’s be real—nothing beats a cozy night in with your besties, especially when you’re rocking the cutest matching PJs. Whether it’s silky sets or oversized sweaters, the vibe is all about being comfy while looking totally adorable. Plus, it’s basically a mini fashion show, right?
2. Dreamy Table Set-Up
A pretty table just hits different. Add heart-shaped plates, sparkly napkins, and some fairy lights to create that “wow” moment. Oh, and flowers? Yes, always. It’s like a romantic dinner, but with your favorite people.
3. Insta-Worthy Wall Magic
Your wall deserves some love too! Hang pink streamers, heart-shaped balloons, or even a neon sign. Bonus: it doubles as the perfect photo backdrop. Trust me, your feed will thank you.
4. Sweet Treats You’ll Obsess Over
Chocolate, candy, cookies—YES, PLEASE. Go for pink-themed desserts or even make your own. I once tried pink chocolate-covered pretzels, and now they’re a must at every party.
5. Girls’ Night Games
No girls’ night is complete without some fun games! Try a deck of questions that spark funny or unexpected stories, or go for “Who’s Most Likely To…” for endless laughs.
6. Heart-Shaped Food = Love
Pizza, waffles, pancakes—if it’s heart-shaped, I want it. There’s just something so extra (in the best way) about food that’s cute AND delicious. It’s like love at first bite.
7. Galentine’s Charcuterie Board
The more creative, the better! I love mixing sweets like chocolate-covered pretzels with berries and macarons—it’s almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
8. Pretty Drinks, Pretty Vibes
Drinks are better when they’re cute. Add some pink lemonade, sparkling water, or even a light mocktail with fruit slices and sugar-rimmed glasses. It’s all about the aesthetic.
9. Bake It Till You Make It
Baking with your besties? So much fun. Whether you’re making cupcakes, cookies, or brownies, it’s all about the laughs (and maybe a flour fight). Plus, you get to eat the results—win-win!
10. DIY Fun with Your Besties
Let your creative side shine! Decorate candles, paint mugs, or create art on heart-shaped canvases. It’s super chill, and you get to keep something cute as a memory.
11. Spill the Tea Game Night
This one’s hilarious! Have everyone write down their worst date stories on little notes and drop them in a box. Then, take turns reading them out loud and guessing who wrote what. Trust me, the laughs are endless.
12. DIY Photo Booth
A cute backdrop + fun props = endless laughs. I always grab things like heart-shaped glasses or glittery crowns—it’s cheesy, but that’s the fun of it!
13. Chick Flick Movie Marathon
What’s a Galentine’s party without Mean Girls or Legally Blonde? Add popcorn, blankets, and maybe a few inside jokes, and you’ve got the coziest vibe ever.
14. At-Home Spa Night
Face masks, nail polish, and some calming music are all you need. Bonus points if you make it a “who can apply the funniest face mask” contest.
15. Secret Galentine Gift Swap
Set a small budget, pick something fun, and watch the “OMG, this is so cute!” reactions. It’s like Secret Santa, but with more pink.
16. Karaoke Party
Whether it’s Celine Dion or Taylor Swift, everyone has that song they have to belt out. And trust me, it’s even better when your friends join in.
17. Love Letter Writing
Yes, it’s cheesy, but writing little notes to your friends is actually the sweetest thing. I still keep mine in a drawer—it’s a whole vibe.
18. Mini Gift Bags
Think scrunchies, lip gloss, and maybe some chocolates. They’re small but make everyone feel super appreciated.
19. Vision Board Party
My besties and I did this last year, and it was SO inspiring. We laughed at some of the magazine cutouts, but honestly, it made the goals feel real.
20. Dance Party
Nothing beats ending the night dancing around to your favorite songs. Trust me, no one will care how silly they look—they’re just happy to be there.
