Essentials for Your 2022 Galentine's Day Party

It's that time of the year again! February 13th is right around the corner, and we all know what that means – it's Galentine's Day. The official holiday created by Leslie Knope, February 13th, is dedicated to celebrating friendship. While you can celebrate any way you want this year, we thought we would give you some ideas on throwing a perfect party for your friends. 

Dress Up Using a Fun Theme

We suggest going for a theme and dressing up. We're not saying you have to go all out, but even wearing a cute headband or matching shirt can add a little something special to the party! From a pajama party to dressing as movie characters, a theme makes any party better!

‍Balloon Garlands

Balloon garlands are trendy, fun, and the perfect decoration for Galentine’s Day. Using a red, pink, and white color scheme, place your garland somewhere you and your guests can take photos!

Make a Signature Cocktail

Why not take this opportunity to try something new? If you usually don't consume alcohol or try out a new recipe, now is perfect. One of our favorite cocktail recipes is the Pomtini, which you can make using pomegranate juice, lemon-lime soda, and vodka. You can also make a giant punch bowl for your guests to share!

Heart-Shaped Everything!

We get that it's not Valentine's Day, but hearts are so cute! Get creative with how you use them. Here are some ideas: 

- Heart-shaped cookies 

- Sugar heart candies 

- Heart-shaped pizza

- Heart-shaped pancakes

Watch Rom-Coms in a Cozy Room

What's a Galentine's Day without "You've Got Mail" or "Mean Girls?" While you could watch these movies in your living room alone, it's way more fun to gather together and laugh. You can even make popcorn while wearing pajamas!

Make a Photo Booth Spot

Take your Galentine's Day party to the next level by making an area in the room dedicated to the fun. Get creative with it by adding a homemade photo booth or simply hanging up some decorations! You can use props, balloons, streamers, and anything else cute you can think of.

Play Games

You can play just about any game with your friends. Here are some of our favorites:  

- Heads Up 

- Never Have I Ever 

- Stump! Stump is a great game that's easy to play and perfect for big groups. It goes as follows: One player asks another, "Stump?" They have to guess if the person has done what they say. If they have, the person who asked is 'stumped' and out of the game

It's not too early to start planning your 2022 Galentine's Day party! With these essentials, you can plan a great event that will make this year feel like it was worth the wait. One thing is certain; many happy years are in store for all of you! Happy celebrating, and don't forget to hug someone today!
