Step aside, February 14th–February 13th is where it’s at! Galentine’s Day 2022 is finally here and the world is slowly returning to normal, so if you’ve been missing your girls we have all the Galentine's Day decor you need to put together the perfect G-day soiree. No boys allowed!
What is Galentines Day?
For those who have never celebrated, Galentine’s day is a relatively recent tradition created by fan-favorite character Leslie Knope of Parks and Rec. As Leslie says, it’s all about “ladies celebrating ladies.” Take part in the festivities by hosting a beautifully curated party complete with Galentine's Day decor, or pack some cute gifts to mail out to your girlfriends if an in-person meetup isn’t in the cards just yet. Read on for our party ideas and decor essentials!
Set the Mood (and the Table)
Whether you’re throwing a Sunday morning brunch or a weekday evening co*cktail hour, setting the cutest table is absolutely essential. Coordinate your tablescape with your Galentine's day decor by layering different colored napkins, party favors, and florals along with your snacks and drinks. Just make sure to snap pictures of your decor and text your guests the color scheme beforehand: that way, your group photos are sure to be on point.
Napkins In Every Color
Not sure where to start? Galentine’s Day may be a fairly modern tradition, but custom napkins are a timeless classic. Lucky for you, For Your Party’s best-selling customizable co*cktail napkins are super cute and super easy to customize! You can use the FYP customizer tool to play with traditional pinks and reds, or get creative with your own unique color palette. Try incorporating some unusual trending colors for contrast! (PS: For those who flunked art class, our are ready to party–no extra design work needed!)
Custom co*cktails
Do you have that one signature co*cktail that everyone always begs you to make? Kick your Galentine's Day decor up a notch with custom cups to match. Of course, if mixology isn’t your thing, you can always pour a ready-made co*cktail into your custom cups–we won’t tell!
If you’re not hosting Galentine’s Day this year, show your hostess some love by bringing Champagne for the mimosas or a special bottle of Cabernet dressed up with an on-theme wine tag. Custom engraved wine glasses are also a thing if you really want to take your hostess gift to the next level. Cheers!
Brunch It Up!
Speaking of mimosas, Galentine’s Day officially falls on a Sunday this year so Sunday brunch is a no-brainer! Stock up your brunch table with decadent pastries, heart-shaped treats, and of course, plenty of savory breakfast favorites. For a playfully classy addition to your Galentine's Day decor, arrange your sweets and savories on a cute cutting board, and voila–breakfast charcuterie worthy of its own instagram post. If your busy schedule doesn’t leave room for home cooking, even store-bought treats can be flawlessly elevated with the right touches.
Gifts for the Girls
If you want to impress your guests with your Galentine's Day decor, don’t forget the goodie bags! What is this sweet season without the little things? Show your ladies some love with curated boxes of sweets and treats–details like candles, mini customized hand sanitizer, chocolate, and mini wine bottles are sure to be a hit. Send your guests home with leftover party snacks in custom favor bags, or give away candy-filled cellophane bags to evoke that elementary school V-day nostalgia.
Stay Cute & Stay Safe
Who says you can’t look cute while following health protocols? In these times, no in-person event is complete without safety gear, but fear not–For Your Party has you covered! Keep your essentials aesthetic with our customizable masks and hand sanitizer. So cute, they’ll blend right in with your other gorgeous Galentine’s decor.
Keeping it Remote?
If you and your girls are staying further than 6 feet apart this holiday, you can still make it special with a personal touch! Mail out goodies in advance and open them together during a virtual Zoom party, or keep it simple but personal with a customized gift. We recommend custom stationary for the hopeless romantic in your life, and a personalized journal for the ever-organized powerhouse. Even miles apart, you can still stay in touch with the spirit of the holiday–celebrating the amazing women in your life!
