Galentine’s Day might be unofficial, but we think it deserves a spot on every calendar. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, making time for your girlfriends is always a must. They lift you up when you’re down and hype you up when you’re thriving — so why not dedicate a whole day to celebrating them?
Block off a day this February and plan a girls’ day you’ll all remember. Need ideas? We’ve got you covered:
1. Plan a Spa Day
A little pampering goes a long way. Whether you’re booking a getaway at a local spa or creating a DIY setup at home with face masks and mani-pedis, a spa day gives you the perfect excuse to unwind — and leave glowing, inside and out.
2. Have a Cozy Picnic
Who says picnics are just for romantic dates? Grab your gals, a cozy blanket, a bottle of wine, and head to the park (or even your backyard). Don’t forget candles and snacks! Since it’s February, bundle up and bring extra blankets to stay warm while keeping it cute.
3. Throw a Pink Breakfast Party
Themed brunch? Yes, please. Host a Galentine’s breakfast with pink pancakes, mimosas, and pastries galore. Make it extra fun by having everyone dress in pink for the ultimate photo op.
4. Host a Game Night
Game night = guaranteed laughs. Break out the board games, cards, or even some outdoor challenges if you’re feeling adventurous. A little friendly competition makes for a memorable night.
5. Have an Old-School Slumber Party
Sleepovers aren’t just for middle school. Plan a weekend getaway or cozy up at home with your favorite movies, wine, and chocolate. Matching pajamas optional — but highly encouraged.
No matter how you celebrate, Galentine’s Day is all about quality time with your besties. So eat the chocolate, pour the wine, and make memories with the women who mean the most.
