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?
Looking for fun Galentine’s Day ideas? We’ve got you covered with five ways to make this February extra special with your best friends.
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. Plus, it’s a great way to feel refreshed and recharged together.
2. Have a Cozy Picnic
Who says picnics are just for romantic dates? Grab your gals, a cozy blanket, and a bottle of wine, then 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. In fact, a Galentine’s breakfast with pink pancakes, mimosas, and pastries is a perfect excuse to go all out. For an extra fun twist, have everyone dress in pink for the ultimate photo op.
4. Host a Game Night
Game night = guaranteed laughs. Whether you love board games, card games, or party challenges, there’s something for everyone. Even if your group is competitive, the laughs (and maybe a few dramatic wins) will make the night unforgettable.
5. Have an Old-School Slumber Party
Sleepovers aren’t just for middle school. Instead, plan a weekend getaway or cozy up at home with your favorite movies, wine, and chocolate. Matching pajamas are optional — but highly encouraged for the vibes and the pics.
