What is Galentine’s Day?

Galentine's Day was first introduced in the television show Parks and Recreation, where the main character Leslie Knope celebrates the holiday with her female friends. The holiday is celebrated on February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, and is all about celebrating the bond between women. It's a day to show appreciation for the strong and supportive friendships that women have with each other. Now, we know how to throw a party at Party on Butler, so here is your guide to throwing the best Galentine’s party.

How to Host the Perfect Galentine's Night:

A Signature Drink

What's a party without a drink? A pretty cocktail or mocktail that's pink or red would be perfect for the occasion. Mix up a signature drink that you and your girls can enjoy together.

Takeout

Galentine's Day should be focused on your girls, not cooking. Order anything from sushi to pizza to tacos to make the night stress-free. You don't want to spend the night cooking, instead, use that time to catch up with your friends and make memories.
