Ladies, today is the day we celebrate what truly matters: Female friendship! While everyone else is gearing up for Valentine's Day tomorrow, today, February 13, is all about honoring the amazing women in our lives: It’s Galentine’s Day!
A tradition popularized by TV show “Parks and Recreation,” Galentine’s Day has become an international celebration of the powerful bonds we share with our girlfriends.
Whether it's your childhood bestie, your college roomie or your work BFF, today is the day to show them just how much they mean to you.
The best part about Galentine's Day is that it’s all about what you and your girlfriends enjoy, so the options are endless.
Whether you're planning a laid-back hangout or something extravagant, the spirit of the day is about bonding, having fun and sharing some laughs.
Sip and Paint Night
Channel your inner artist and host a sip and paint night with your friends! It’s the perfect way to tap into your creativity while sipping wine and having a blast with your favorite women. You can create your own art party at home with paint, brushes, a few snacks and, of course, some fun tunes to keep the energy up.
Pamper Day
Another great way to celebrate? Treat yourselves to a pamper day. Think face masks, manicures, pedicures and endless cups of tea (or wine!). You can either visit a spa or create a DIY experience at home with soothing music, essential oils, and plenty of time to catch up.
Galentine’s Day Dinner
Make Galentine’s Day extra special, and host a fabulous dinner party. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or more of an ordering-takeout expert, a cozy dinner with your best friends is the perfect way to celebrate. It’s not just about the food — it’s about gathering around the table with your closest friends to share stories, laughter and maybe a few heartfelt toasts. Pro tip: Personalize each guest’s place setting with a fun Galentine’s Day-themed favor, like a cute mini bouquet or a personalized card.
Outdoor Adventures
Take the celebration outside as you go for a hike, nature walk or even plan a cute picnic in the park. You can also make it a more adventurous experience by trying something new, like zip-lining, roller skating or renting bikes for a scenic ride. The idea is to bond while enjoying nature’s beauty, whether it’s on a trail or just sitting together and watching the sunset.
Movie Night
There’s nothing better than a cozy movie night to celebrate Galentine's Day, and what better genre than rom-coms to get everyone laughing, swooning and feeling all the feels? Gather your girlfriends, snuggle up with blankets and dive into a lineup of classic romantic comedies. Pair it with your favorite snacks and maybe even mix up some cocktails.
