13 Fun Galentines Day Activities To Try!
🥞 1. Host a Galentine's Day brunch
Enjoy delicious food, lots of laughs and great conversations with the ladies in your life. Prepare some galentine's day decorations like banners, balloons, and cards to make the day even more special. Check out this adorable heart themed table setting for your tablescape!
Brunch Ideas:
Heart shaped or pink brunch foods! Foods like pancakes, french toast or waffles are easy to shape into hearts. These pink macarons are so cute and so delicious! Top with fresh strawberries, maple syrup and lots of whipped cream!
Serve PINK mimosas. Just add a touch of grenadine or strawberry puree to your champagne or check out these mimosa bar ideas for a selection of mix-ins!
Italian Pasta Bar Party
An endless selection of pasta?! What more could a group of girls want?
Set up this awesome pasta buffet for your girlfriends. Make it Italian themed. Use a red and white checked tablecloth and play some Frank Sinatra in the background.
Serve some red and white Italian wines that pair well with the pasta your serving.
Serve cannolis and tiramisu for dessert!
🎞️ 2. Host a movie night!
Snuggle up with your gal pals and watch some classic galentines movies or any chic flick! Some ideas are "Mean Girls," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" or even some romantic comedies like "10 Things I Hate About You".
Create a snack bar or a dinner bar like a popcorn bar, taco bar, or a chocolate bar! Encourage your gals to wear their coziest clothes and slippers! This night is about chilling, enjoying eachother's company and feeling the love.
🎮 3. Have a competitive girls game night!
I'm ALL about the competition so bring on the scorecards and stopwatches! Host a fun game night with your girls. Some of my favorite board games to play with a group of 4 or more are:
Make it competitive and everyone will have a fun time laughing and spending quality time together.
Have everyone bring a snack board or drink so it's easy to host and easy to set up!
Have more than 8 people? These 8 player board games are very popular!
📿 4. Host a jewelry making party
This is such a fun activity that allows everyone to get hands-on and also keep a memorable item forever.
Order this jewelry making kit and make bracelets, necklaces or earrings for each other! This post on hosting a jewelry making party will help you determine all the supplies needed.
Purchase some beading wire, beads, charms, pliers and clasps. Stay on the Galentines trend and add plenty of hearts and pink/red beads to your jewelry.
The ladies will have a BLAST creating something they can wear all year long! The memories of this will be held on forever.
Now let's get creative and don't forget to bring snacks!
🍕 5. Throw a BYOP Party!
Who doesn't love pizza?! Encourage your friends to bring their OWN pizza to your party! They can choose their favorite pizza or a pizza they've never tried before. Anchovies, pineapple?? Nothing is off limits!
You can even see if your friends can pick up a pizza from a different pizza place around town to compare!
Bring a liter of soda, juice or bubbly too so everything is covered!
🕯️6. Host a candle making party
This galentine’s day DIY is a bit more crafty and fun! Head to your local craft store and pick up some soy wax, wicks, scents and mason jars. You'd be surprised at what you can find at your local Michael's or craft store.
Aim for Galentine's themed candles by using pink and red wax and scents like rose. This post will show you how to make candles at home.
There are plenty of tutorials online that will show you the basics of candle making. It's a great way to get creative and make something special that the girls can burn while reminicsing.
🍷 7. Host a blind wine tasting!
This is the perfect Galentine's day idea for all wine lovers! A blind wine tasting is much less expensive than going to a winery.
I set this up for my family last year and everyone loved it!
Choose a few bottles of different varietals, blindfold your gal pals and let the tasting begin. The goal is to taste each glass without knowing what type of grape it belongs to or which region it comes from.
Serve some cheese, crackers and these pink chocolate dipped strawberries!
At the end, guess whose bottle was which and if you get it right you win a prize!
🎨 8. Host a paint and sip party!
If you've ever done Painting With A Twist, you know how fun it can be to paint while enjoying some good drinks.
This can be done at home with a few items.
Purchase canvases, paints, brushes, aprons and other art supplies. Buy wine or pre-mixed drinks for the ladies to sip on while getting creative. You can either find an online tutorial or pick one of your gal's favorite painting!
Here is a youtube video on painting a flower!
At the end of the night each gal will have their own work of art to remember the day by.
🍸 9. Host A Mixology Party!
What galentine's day would be complete without a delicious co*cktail or mocktail!?
Mix up some of your gal pal's favorite drinks and enjoy them while dressed in your best galentines attire! I love a good ALL WHITE party. It's so fancy and makes us ladies feel so elegant.
Some of my favorite drinks are:
Paper Plane co*cktail
Pink Starburst Shot
Passion Fruit Vodka Martini
Lavender Martini co*cktail

Serve some light snacks like chips and dip, charcuterie or even heart-shaped cookies. Don't forget to have plenty of garnishes around as well.
🫕 10. Host A Fondue Night!
Nothing says Galentines day quite like a CHEESY fondue party.
Make your own cheese fondue or chocolate fondue in the crockpot, or BOTH!
Have an array of meats and veggies to dip in the cheese along with pretzels and bread. And when it comes to dessert, have some strawberries, marshmallows, bananas and cookies!
At the end of the night, let out your inner gal pal and have a great time!
No matter which galentines day get together you decide to host, just make sure it's full of fun and memorable moments that last forever. Happy Galentines Day!
11. Host An Outdoor Picnic!
If the weather permits, why not host a Galentines day picnic?
Pack up your picnic basket with some light snacks like mini sandwiches and cold drinks like my Pink Rosé Sangria. Have a few blankets ready and have your gal pals bring their favorite outdoor activities like bocce ball, badminton, chess or croquet. Another option is to hold a scavenger hunt!
This is the perfect way to enjoy each others company while out in nature!
12. Hold A Compliment "Sesh"
Girls are notorious for trash talking and bringing eachother down. So let's change that! Have everyone sit in a circle and take turns giving each person a heartfelt compliment. This can be a lovely way to boost everyone's self-esteem and celebrate your friendship!
Make sure to talk about the idea of the activity before you begin.
13. Comedy Night
What could be more fun that laughing until you cry with your besties?! Do some research and find a top rated comedy show you all can watch together. Make sure that comedian fits your gals values first! Then grab some drinks, snacks and a blanket and sit down on the couch to laugh the night away!
