How to Throw the Ultimate Galentine's Party
Drinks
Any gathering can greatly benefit from an intentional drink. Having a cocktail or "bulk drink" ready to go and aesthetically put together brings your gathering immediately to the next level, so go ALL out for the gals — they'll notice the effort!
A Food Focus
These days you can seriously get by with any kind of food focus! Finger foods, bundt cakes, cupcakes, cheeseboard, brunch — you name it! We've even seen some kombucha parties recently and honestly why aren't there more healthy food-focused parties?
Photo Ops
By setting up your display carefully you can REALLY maximize photo opportunities! A good focal wall not only frames out your food of choice, but it also provides a nice little backdrop for any photo opportunities. Props, especially in this context, are always a bonus!
The Details, Duh
GO ALL OUT GIRLFRIEND. We're talking rose plates, chargers, labeled drinks, flowers, personalized details — go till your little heart's desire! Start with one element that you REALLY love, and build from there!
Background Music
If "man, I feel like a woman" started playing as your read this, you're on the right track. Carry on.
An Activity
Don't feel like this has to be a huge orchestrated event! The "activity" can be anything from cake decorating, relationship status games, "favorite things" gift exchange, karaoke, or even just eating said cake. Heck, even the photo op can be the activity! The point of the "activity" is to add some natural flow to the event that helps avoid lulls.
