Whoever said that the 14th of February was exclusively for lovers? If you’re a single girly, or for whatever reason, you can’t spend Valentine’s Day with your partner, grab your girls and have yourselves a Galentine’s Day.
What is Galentine’s Day?
Galentine’s Day celebrates women’s friendships and allows you to create unforgettable memories with your besties. You can have a relaxing night in with the girls and do fun indoor activities, or use this as an excuse to dress up and go out into town. Either way, there are plenty of ways to celebrate this day. Here are 13 fun and creative Galentine’s Day activities this year!
If you’re spending Valentine’s with friends, not just the girls, check out these ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with friends.
1. Brunch with Your Besties
Nothing beats a brunch for Galentine’s Day. You can have it indoors with a homemade feast or book a table at your favorite café. Gather your friends and enjoy a few hours of girl talk, mimosas, and heart-shaped pancakes. Don’t forget to put on your favorite women’s perfume for the hangout.
2. DIY Spa Night
Spoil yourselves with an at-home spa night. Light some candles, apply face masks, give each other manicures, and have a little self-care night. You can even create personalized spa kits with scrubs, bath bombs, and essential oils.
3. Movie Marathon
Host a cozy movie night featuring classic rom-coms or empowering female-led films. Prepare a snack bar with popcorn, candy, and hot chocolate to set the mood. Don’t forget the soft blankets and fuzzy PJs.
4. Wine & Paint Party
Let your creativity and imagination run wild. Visit our local arts and crafts store, pick up some canvases, brushes, and paints, and have a night to remember. Grab your favorite bottle of wine to make the experience a little more fun.
5. Game Night Extravaganza
Bring out the board games, card games, or trivia challenges for a night full of laughter and friendly competition. Games like “What Do You Meme?” or “Cards Against Humanity” are games my friends and I like to play occasionally, especially when we’re having a sleepover, and it’s always a blast.
6. Themed Potluck Dinner
Host a themed potluck where everyone brings a dish that fits a specific theme—such as comfort food, international cuisine, or pink-colored treats. This is a great way to bond over good food and enjoy a variety of delicious homemade dishes.
7. DIY Craft Party
Get hands-on with a craft night where you and your friends can make fragrances, jewelry, candles, or personalized Galentine’s Day cards. It’s a fun and interactive way to create lasting keepsakes from your celebration.
8. Dance Party & Karaoke Night
What’s more fun than having a dance party in your living room?! Nothing! Create a playlist with all your favorite songs, and sing along with your friends. Choose songs that are your favorites but also songs that will hit the right emotions. You want to see tears, laughs, and genuine feelings!
9. Outdoor Adventure
If you and your friends are outdoorsy, plan accordingly. Going on a hike or taking a road trip to a nearby scenic spot are great ways to enjoy the great outdoors together on this day. Grab all your necessities and head out for a day filled with fresh air and good company.
10. Memory Lane Scrapbooking
Gather old photos, mementos, and craft supplies to create a Galentine’s Day scrapbook. Reminisce about your favorite moments together and capture new ones. Having a Polaroid camera with you for this is a good idea.
11. Picnic with Your Girlfriends
Pack a basket filled with delicious snacks, sandwiches, and refreshing drinks, and head to a park, garden, or the beach for a lovely outdoor picnic. Bring a cosy blanket and some fun games, and enjoy a relaxing day under the sun with your best friends.
12. All Girls Sleepover
Now that we’re all grown-ups, we don’t need to put on a show for our parents for them to approve a sleepover and still get rejected. You can also pick whichever cuisine you would like to serve at said sleepover. You and your besties can wear pyjamas, set up a pillow fort, and enjoy classic sleepover activities like “truth or dare,” scary stories, or a binge-watching session of your favorite TV shows. Don’t forget to complete your nighttime fragrance routine before going to bed!
13. Fancy Dinner
This could be the excuse to dress up and get your make-up done in full glam style. Heading out with your girlfriends to a fancy restaurant might be the date that you need. Book at your and your friend’s favorite restaurant and head out looking your best for the best night of your life.
Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate your girls. Whatever activity you choose, the most important thing is to enjoy quality time with the incredible women in your life.
