Don’t have a Valentine? No worries! Get a group of friends together to celebrate Galentine’s Day! Galentine’s is typically celebrated on February 13th to celebrate women’s friendship. Not only is it an excuse to have fun with your closest friends, but it’s also a day to show your appreciation for them. There are a number of things to do in observance of Galentine’s Day. The options are limitless. This article is to help give some ideas as to what you can do to celebrate.
A Lavish Galentine’s Experience
If you are looking for more of a pricey way to honor your friends, a nice spa day or even a fancy dinner may be the way to go. If you’re a shopper, hit the mall, visit all your go-to stores, and shop until you drop. Or if you are looking to extend the fun, a weekend vacation can be enjoyable for all! Plan a trip to your favorite place, create itineraries, book a place to stay, and hit the road.
On a Budget
Trying to save a little money, but still want to create an enjoyable time for you and your friends? Don’t fret, there are plenty of inexpensive ideas. You can simply invite your friends over and watch a shared favorite movie. Or participate in a fun game night with all your favorite foods. For more of an interactive celebration, turn up the music, and throw a casual dance party.
Crafty Ideas
For more of an artsy approach to Galentine’s, making friendship bracelets are a fun, easy idea! Beads, string, and charms are all you’ll really need. To add a bit of competition into the mix, a Galentine’s bake-off including heart shaped cookies, pink and red colored icing, along with sprinkles make for a delicious contest. The good thing about crafts is that they let your imagination and creativity flow. Assembling a physical photo album, made up of you and your friends’ pictures can make for a nostalgic activity.
Overall, it’s easy to overthink gift-driven holidays. Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating friendship and creating new memories. There are plenty of fun friend-dates and activities to be had. So whether or not you have a Valentine, make sure to show your friends some extra love and appreciation on February 13th!
