How to throw an *epic* Galentine’s Day party

As if you needed an excuse to get your girls together…

galentine’s Day is almost here (it’s 13th February, for the uninitiated). And whether you’re single or totally taken, it’s time to celebrate the most important people in your life – your friends, of course.

Originally coined by Parks And Recreation’s Leslie Knope, Galentine’s is the most singlesafe day of the year (even though, yes, it is closely followed by the least). If that’s not worth celebrating with a Galentine’s party attended by your crew (see our tips for how to make it work virtually), we don’t know what is. Do you need an excuse to eat chocolate, drink fizz, and gush about how amazing your friends are? Erm, no.

So, message your group chat – right now – and make sure they have 13th February pencilled in (let’s be honest, much like last year, it’s not like our diaries are bursting with plans). Then get organising: from decor to snacks and non-boring Galentine’s party activities your squad will love, we’ve done our research – so much so that our party ideas and tips will make actual Valentine’s Day seem like a sad after-party.
