What is Galentine's Day?


Galentine's Day is all about celebrating the incredible women in your life. Originating from the hit TV show Parks and Recreation, this unofficial holiday has taken on a life of its own. It's a day to shower your gal pals with love and appreciation.

When is Galentine's Day?


Mark your calendars! Galentine's Day traditionally falls on February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day. This allows you to kick off the love-filled week with your besties before diving into any romantic plans. Of course, Galentine's Day is flexible – you can celebrate whenever works best for you and your squad. Some friend groups even turn it into a whole weekend event. The important thing is setting aside time to cherish those friendships that keep us going all year round.

What to do for Galentine's Day?


The possibilities for Galentine's Day celebrations are as endless as your group chat convos! You could go classic with a brunch filled with laughter or shake things up with a spa day for some much-needed relaxation. Maybe your crew is more into celebrating friendship indoors – consider hosting a Galentine's Day party with a cozy movie marathon of all your favorite rom-coms. For the creative crew, you could organize a crafting session where everyone makes personalized gifts for each other. Whatever you decide, make sure it involves plenty of time to catch up with a good yap sesh, share stories, and strengthen those bonds that make life so much richer.

Don't forget to accessorize – statement earrings or a fun headband can elevate any outfit. And if you're not sure what to wear, you can always coordinate with your friends for a cohesive look.
