“What’s Galentine’s Day? Oh, It’s only the best day of the year.” – Leslie Knope
Happy Galentine’s Day, Darling! Time to drink girly drinks and just celebrate ladies being ladies. Galentine’s Day is all about having fun and appreciating your gal pals. Galentine’s Day can be brunch, happy hour, a dinner party, or whatever you want it to be!
If you are thinking about throwing a Galentine’s Day party, it’s not to late! Remember: We have as many hours in the day as Beyonce. Who Run the World? GIRLS!
Here are 6 tips to throwing a flawless last minute Galentine’s Day Party:
Tip #1: Invite Your Girls!
First, make your guest list! Last year, we designed the CUTEST Galentine invitations and personally mailed them to our friends. This year, we were a little pressed for time and just made a Facebook group. If you want to be a little more creative than a Facebook group, but don’t have time mail invitations, check out Paperless Post. You can design personalized invitations that will go right to your guest’s email! This invitation is perfect for Galentine’s Day!
Tip #2: Decorate
Decorating is my favorite part about hosting a party. One word: Balloons! Balloons are the easiest way to decorate your apartment. Buy a few themed balloons and maybe a few streamers and you are off to an amazing start. String lights are also a great way to get your guests into the spirit.
Tip #3: Pop! Fizz! Clink!
Your party can be BYOB, but make a fun themed drink for your guests, too! I always use my 2 gallon mason jar beverage dispenser and find a fun recipe that goes with the theme of my party. Here is a Champagne Shirley Temple recipe that will be perfect for your party. Don’t forget to buy red and pink cups!
Tip #4: Fun Foods!
Find a recipe that goes along with your theme. Valentine’s Day is pretty easy. Just find or make pink and red snacks! red and pink M&Ms are perfect to put out on your table for guests and will look adorable. This is also the perfect time to pull out the chocolate fountain you just had to have but rarely use! (or was that just me?) Use mini plates and napkins that color coordinate! Here are some from Target that are too cute to pass up.
Tip #5: Tunes!
Every party has to have music! Enjoy this Galentine’s Day playlist for you and your ladies. Girl power! I’ve been listening to this while writing this post and it is really getting me excited to hang with ME AND MY GIRLS!
Tip #6: Stuff to do!
Make a fun backdrop for a photo booth! Here is a DIY V-day backdrop. Or, if you are pressed for time, buy Valentine themed wrapping paper to make a quick and easy background. You could also buy valentine cards for everyone to make! The possibilities are endless. I love to put my polaroid camera out during parties so everyone can take fun pictures!
