Valentine’s Day is great and all, but the real star of the show in February is Galentine’s Day. It is a day dedicated to celebrating the incredible bond of friendship among women. Whether you’re single, taken, or somewhere in between, this is your perfect excuse to gather your best gal pals for a night filled with laughter, fun, and a whole lot of love.
Galentine’s Day, often celebrated on February 13th, is all about honoring the wonderful women in your life. This day emphasizes girlhood and friendship, reminding us that our female friendships are not just important; they are essential. These connections provide support, joy, and a sense of belonging. So, what better way to celebrate these cherished bonds than with a themed party that reflects your unique sisterhood?
Welcome to Party Planning: a series where I virtually plan themed events and bundle them up into a perfectly packaged blog post to inspire your next gathering!
It’s no secret to those who know me that I love to host. So much so that I’m fully convinced putting together a themed party is my love language. Whether it’s hosting a bestie’s milestone birthday or celebrating a holiday with a large group of friends, I’m always down to dive deep into the planning process, go as above and beyond as possible, and tap into my “extra” gene to pull together a fun and memorable event for everyone to enjoy.
However, as much as I live for hosting, there’s just no way to realistically fit all of these perfectly put-together themed parties into real life schedules and budgets. So, as a self-proclaimed “Pinterest Girly” who has spent years curating my Party + Events board (with over 1,000+ pins and counting!) I figured I would start virtually planning events right here on the blog: from the initial moodboard and color palette to the party favors and dress code ideas. I’ll even be including Spotify music playlists and invitation templates… because a great themed party is really all about the details.
So, if you’re looking to host an event this upcoming season but aren’t so keen on the planning process, this series will set you up with a complete rundown of themed gatherings you can use as inspo (or directly copy) for your next event!
