Sisters before misters. Nothing says girl power quite like an epic Galentine’s Day party. This Galentine’s Day, don’t settle for the same tired roses and chocolates. Instead celebrate with the special ladies in your life and show them how much they mean to you. From planning the perfect menu to designing an unforgettable night, here’s everything you need to throw a fabulous Galentine’s Day party. Get ready to get fierce, because your Galentine’s Day party is about to get epic.
Decorate Like a Pro: Turn Your Home Into a Galentine’s Day Party Paradise
You’re playing heart to get. Balloons are an easy way to transform the living room for a Galentine’s Day party. We created our Galentine’s Day party photobooth with colorful heart balloons. A festive photobooth is a great way to capture memories. We used hot pink, rose gold, red and silver heart latex balloons to create our Galentine’s Day party backdrop. These are latex hearts, but we prefer the foil heart balloons we used in prior Galentine’s Day parties. The foil hearts are easier to fill without popping and have better heart shaped. We also recommend using a balloon pump and glue dots. Use the code twinspirational to save 10% off your order at Instaballoons.
Entertain the Crowd: Create a Gorgeous Tablescape for the Galentine’s Day Party
Heart to get. Galentine’s Day is ultimately about celebrating the spirit of friendship, and this tablescape was designed to do just that. We put together a stylish Galentine’s Day tablescape to celebrate our gal pals. Our stylish Galentine’s Day party tablescape featured shades of pink, red and white. We started with a crisp white tablecloth and then blended in pink and red with beautiful florals, candles and napkins. The place settings included , with , goblet glasses and champagne flutes.
It gets easier, not heart-er. We kept the centerpiece simple with a single bouquet and two candles. The flickering light of the two chunky red tealight holders illuminated the lovely bouquet of white roses, white Alstroemeria and white berries, creating a feminine ambiance.
Serve Festive Drink: Celebrate with Pink Champagne and Rosé
Happy Valenwine’s Day. Impress your girlfriends with a Valentine’s Day cocktail party, and let your creativity shine! Get festive with a pink or red cocktail like a pink grapefruit vodka cocktail. Mix up a classic Cosmo to channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw, or forgo the alcohol and serve Sparkling Ice Pink Grapefruit for a mocktail. If you’re feeling classic, no-fail Rosé champagne served in delightful flutes is always a crowd pleaser. Make sure to serve the champs in champagne flutes.
Serve Delicious Food: Treat Your Guests to Galentine’s Day Party Faves
I can heart-ly wait. We created a gorgeous candy charcuterie board in a with Lindt truffles and hearts, Brachs gummy hearts, Brach’s Conversation Hearts, M&Ms, cheese, bread, red velvet mini cupcakes, strawberry teacakes, strawberries and raspberries. Have fun with the cheeseboard and make sure to add lots of red and pink foods as well as heart shaped foods. A few heart cookie cutters will be helpful.
I am so fondue of you. We also made a fontina and gruyere fondue. We served the fondue with bread, crackers, strawberries, raspberries and honey.
I have so mushroom in my heart for you. One of our friends made a mushroom appetizer. It was delicious. If your friends ask what they should bring, tell him to bring something savory or wine. Otherwise you might end up with a lot of dessert and since we are making the candy cheese board, you’ll already have a lot of dessert.
Heart-beet. We made a Rigatoni with homemade beet sauce. It gave the pasta an all natural pink color. The beets were roasted with feta and then blended and cooked with butter, chicken broth and lots of herbs. It was delicious.
You have a pizza my heart. Next we made a heart pizza. We used premade dough to save on time, but we have also made the dough from scratch. Let the dough rise as usual and then pinch the top and bottom to shape the pizza into a heart. We actually cut the Mozzarella into hearts but they melted away, so don’t bother using cookie cutters on the pizza.
I will never dessert you. We ended the night with a Galentine’s Day dessert board in a with Lindt truffles and hearts, Brachs gummy hearts, Brach’s Conversation Hearts, M&Ms, cheese, bread, vanilla mini cupcakes with pink frosting, heart macarons and strawberries.
I will always macaron in my heart for you. Seriously how cute are these heart macarons in the
Get Into the Groove – What Music to Play at the Galentine’s Day Party?
I want to be a heart-ist. The right music can instantly set the tone for a Galentine’s Day party. To kick off this celebration, turn your speakers up and get the party started with some of the top tunes of the season. We played a few Amazon Music Valentine’s Day playlists (Pop for Valentine’s Day and Rock for Valentine’s Day). You can find similar curated holiday playlists on Pandora, Apple Music and Spotify. No matter which tracks you decide to play, setting the mood with the perfect Galentine’s Day playlist is sure to make this holiday one to remember. So, crank up the volume and let the good times roll!
Dress the Part: What to Wear at the Galentine’s Day Party?
When it comes to hosting the perfect Galentine’s Day party, it’s equally important thing to get the look right. Whether you are throwing a sophisticated soiree or a laid-back gathering, you want an outfit that is both stylish and eye-catching. To really make an impression this Galentine’s Day, wear something pink, red or neutral that is complimentary to the decor. You don’t want something that will clash with the heart backdrop.
