Galentine’s Day is the best excuse to celebrate the gals in your life – the friendships that show up, cheer you on and hold you together. From planning something chic and aesthetic to something cozy and low-key, the perfect Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating in a way that makes your friends feel special. Here’s how to plan the perfect day (or night) to make this Galentine’s extra sweet.
SET THE VIBE EARLY
Before you book anything, decide what kind of energy you want. Discuss among your friends and get a feel for what everyone prefers. Here are some ideas to get you started.
- Bougie brunch
- Cozy pajama night in
- Crafty and creative
- Out-on-the-town
- Self care day
Once you decide on the vibe, everything else (outfits, décor, activities) will fall into place. Send out a cute invite in the group chat with date and time, dress code and what to bring (wine, dessert, craft supplies, etc.).
START WITH BRUNCH
Brunch is basically the official language of Galentine’s and it’s the perfect way to kick off the day! Choose somewhere that feels fun and photo-worthy – think fun cocktails or cozy café vibes. Make a reservation early or look for a place that is hosting a special Valentine’s/Galentine’s brunch event.
