Galentine’s Day is all about female friendship. Celebrate with romantic comedies and chick flicks that showcase powerful bonds between friends like Always Be My Maybe,Someone Great, or Isn’t it Romantic? Or, turn to classics like The Notebook, You’ve Got Mail, Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally, The Proposal, and 13 Going on 30.
If romance isn’t your style, rent a female empowerment movie like the latest remake of Little Women or Charlie’s Angels. You can also rent a special private movie theater through Peerspace to better set the scene. One of our favorites is the theater in this upscale McMansion in Los Angeles, CA! The home also grants you access to a heated pool a hot tub, and gorgeous entertainment areas.
And, of course, don’t forget the popcorn and movie theater box candy! This is one of those fun Galentine’s Day ideas that will keep everyone entertained and inspired.
3. Get crafty with conversation hearts

This is one of many adorable Galentine’s Day ideas to which everyone is sure to RSVP.Spend time with your girlfriends and the cutest little furry Valentines while also raising awareness about shelter animals. It sounds too good to be true, but in many places, you can actually “rent” puppies for a donation to the shelter hosting them.
PuppyParty in NYC is just one example of such a service, but there are shelters all over the country that do this. Just Google “rent puppies” (it may sound a bit sketchy, but trust us, it’s a thing!).You may even end up with a new best friend!
7. Make it a co*cktail party

Sip on some “love potions.” Serve some pretty-in-pink drinks — think strawberry flavors, drinks with grenadine, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice as mixers, and rose co*cktail recipes. Use festive glasses or cups, cute Valentine’s napkins, paper straws, and flowers as garnishes for Insta-worthy libations. Also, consider offering nonalcoholic options like Shirley Temples, Cherry co*ke, and strawberry lemonade
8. Dress up the party with a dessert table

Create a sweet setup for your gal pals by going all out with a dessert table! Include classic Valentine’s Day treats like Hershey Kiss roses and chocolate-covered strawberries.Fondue, red velvet bundtinis, whoopie pies, cupcakes, macarons, and custom fortune cookie valentines are also perfect for the occasion. But for the ultimate Galentine’s day treat, celebrate badass women and show off your baking skills with these cookies.
Once you have selected your sweets, complete the look with cute paper plates from the party store, a pink or red tablecloth, a garland or banner with hearts, and cake stands. The dollar spot at Target is an excellent place for bargain finds for a festive tablescape. For more inspiration for displaying your sweets, check out this blog.

The most important Valentine you have is you. Focus on self-love with a self-care-themed Galentine’s party. Buy some face masks, adult coloring books, or other relaxing crafts. Enjoy soothing music and serve some light refreshments and sweets.Listen to a loving kindness meditation, ask everyone to write valentines to themselves, and watch movies that emphasize self-love, like Penelope or I Feel Pretty.
Consider hosting the party in a yoga studio to set the tone (you can find one on Peerspace).If you live near Chicago, you can book this suburban upscale yoga studio and wellness center in Hoffman Estates, IL. A Peerspace reviewer refers to it as: “Very clean space with an excellent host. I would definitely recommend this venue to everyone.”

Spread the love and do something for women in your community. You could make care packages for women’s shelters or opt to collect clothing donations for Dress for Success or clothing closets that provide gender-affirming clothes to transgender women (many college campuses have initiatives set up for this purpose). You could also collect menstrual products for those in need (to find out where to donate them, read this article). As everyone works, serve festive appetizers and drinks. If possible, accompany the care packages and donations with sweet notes or haikus because that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about!
Bonus: Indoor pool party
