Galentine’s Day is the ultimate celebration of the amazing, empowering, and often hilarious bonds we share with our best friends. While Valentine’s Day tends to focus on romantic love, Galentine’s Day is dedicated to platonic, sisterly affection—because who says we can’t make our friendships just as special? 

There’s no wrong way to celebrate Galentine’s Day—it’s all about honoring your friendships, making memories, and having a blast with your favorite people. Here are some ideas to help you plan a memorable day with your gal pals:

Host a cozy, festive brunch to celebrate your besties. Think waffles, pancakes, croissants, eggs, fruit, and mimosas! You can have a DIY pancake or waffle station where guests can top their own creations with whipped cream, syrup, sprinkles, and fruit. Add cute touches like heart-shaped napkins and pink-colored drinks to set the mood. 

Pick out all your favorite movies that celebrate friendship and empowerment. Watch classics like Bridesmaids, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Legally Blonde, or Clueless. Set up a cozy movie-watching area with blankets, pillows, and a popcorn station. 

Bonus: Make a “Galentine’s Day Movie Bingo” where guests mark off certain tropes or quotes from the films they watch.

Go for a glam vibe with a pink and red cocktail party! Create a signature cocktail (or mocktail) for the event, like a “Galentine’s Spritz” or “Fizzy Raspberry Lemonade.” Make sure there are cute drink garnishes like heart-shaped stirrers, edible flowers, and colored sugar rims. 

Bonus: Set up a mini photo booth with a fun backdrop and funny, love-themed props to make it Instagram-worthy! 

Our flower wall backdrop is a great choice. You can get the look you are going for with Something Borrowed KC’s wide variety of backdrops!

A Galentine’s Day charcuterie board is a perfect way to celebrate your besties with delicious snacks while adding a touch of creativity and fun to the party.

Something Borrowed KC has great tray and charcuterie board options for rent!

Portion sizes: Keep in mind that a charcuterie board is meant to be shared, so be generous with the portions. 

Personalized boards: If you want something more individualized, you could create mini boards for each guest with their favorite cheeses, meats, and treats. 

Our wood slices would make a great personalized charcuterie board!

Whether you’re hosting a cozy brunch or enjoying a themed charcuterie spread, the most important thing is to have fun, make memories, and shower your besties with love and appreciation. So, gather your favorite girls, get creative with your plans, and let the laughter, love, and good times flow. Here’s to celebrating the amazing women who make life sweeter—Happy Galentine’s Day!
