I will forever be grateful for the idea of “Galentine’s Day” from the show Parks and Rec. While I love Valentine’s Day and the celebration of romantic love, I was so thrilled when the idea of a unique day to focus on celebrating friendship with your girlfriends became popular. You know me – I will take any excuse to celebrate. But celebrating my amazing gal pals is one of my favorite excuses! If you’re excited about honoring your besties this year for Galentine’s Day (often celebrated on February 13th) but aren’t sure how, check out these 13 Galentine’s Day Party Ideas from me and some of my favorite gal pals!

13 Galentine’s Day Party Ideas to Celebrate Friendship

Fun Fondue Night

Who doesn’t love dipping stuff in cheese and chocolate?! Throw a festive and fun Fondue Night for your friends with both cheese and chocolate. The fondue makes the food more interactive, which is always a plus. I also provide FREE printable signs and favor recipe cards so your party planning is even easier for you! Get details HERE.

Flower Arranging Party

Speaking of interactive parties, I love celebrations that have entertaining activities built in. My girlfriends and I had so much fun at a Flower Arranging Party where we learned how to create gorgeous floral arrangements from an expert (who also happened to be one of my lovely friends). This would make a great Galentine’s Day Party where your girls can learn a new skill while celebrating your friendship! Get details HERE.

One of my favorite treats to have at any party is decorated cookies. They are such a fabulous way to personalize any party.

Check out some of the cute ones of hers I found that I think would be perfect for a Galentine’s Day party!
