Oh, Valentine’s Day. That day in February where we profess our love to someone. We send flowers, give cards and gifts and it is a day when love blooms for all to see. But what about other kinds of love? Shouldn’t they be celebrated too? This is where Galentine’s Day comes in, you know, you and your ‘girls’ celebrate Valentine’s Day but with a twist.
Sometimes girls just want to get together and have a nice party and what better day than Valentine’s Day to do just that? I mean, there’s an abundance of flowers, it’s all girly pink and red, it just screams party! These parties can run the gamut from casual to full-on, and can include games, photo booths, food machines, and the like. You can have a tea party with your closest friends or a gala fit for royalty, it’s all up to you.
We all love taking photos and if you’re dressed for a party, it’s the perfect time to create some memories. Creating a heart out of flowers can make a nice backdrop for those photos, or you can decorate a large frame with flowers, hearts, balloons, and paint for another cute accessory. In fact, the balloon clusters in all shades of pink and red, hearts and lips make a great photo backdrop on their own and of course can also be easily moved to the table for a great piece. central.
Food machines are a great addition to any party as they allow guests to serve themselves, leaving the host free to enjoy the party and not spend all night in the kitchen. Things like cotton candy makers add whimsy and of course more pink to the Galentine festivities and who can resist an old fashioned popcorn machine or mobile frozen treat cart filled with delicious creamy goodies?
High tea with finger food or a dessert party complete with champagne, the choice is yours, but what better way to get all your girlfriends together for a fun night out? If you really want to amp up the décor, how about creating a heart-shaped flower centerpiece? When each guest leaves the party, she gets to take a flower or two home, because who doesn’t love flowers?
The best part of Galentine’s Day parties is the fact that you can get together with your girls for a great night at home!
