Valentine’s Day is the time we celebrate the great loves of our lives — so don’t forget your best gal pals! This year, celebrate Galentine’s Day to show some extra appreciation for the special women in your life. We’re talking your mom, sister, bestie, aunt, cousin, and any woman who has held you down when times got rough, fun needed to be had, or celebrations were in order.
The rules of Galentine’s Day are simple: shout your favorite ladies, pick a day, and make it happen! All relationship statuses are welcome, and if February 13th doesn’t work, the weekend after is as good a time as any.

Paint Night
Ladies love paint night, and when paired with wine, it’s especially nice. All experience levels are welcome, so all of your gals should be prepared to swirl some paint brushes. After all, the number one rule of paint night is to have fun!
Potluck
Missing your aunt’s special mac n’ cheese? Invite all your favorite chefs over to share a bomb meal together and get all the Friendsgiving vibes without the wait. Don’t like your friends’ cooking? Have a cookie baking contest to see who can get the best looking heart with the best taste.
Spa Day
Self care can be a group activity! Book your mani/pedis early so you can sit together and chat while being pampered. Wanna take it to the next level? Visit a full spa for massages, facials, and other body treatments.
Gift Exchange
Chocolates and flowers are optional, but almost always appreciated. If you know any single ladies who are missing a more traditional Valentine’s Day, don’t hesitate to send a heart-shaped box their way. Or you can go old school and trade handmade cards with messages about what your gals mean to you.
Winery
Now’s the perfect time to jet to your nearest winery. In less than a few hours, you can be tasting the best whites, reds, and champagnes your area has to offer. Wander, take a tour, take a sip, but make sure you make it home safe.
House Party
House parties can be done a few different ways: you can go the chips, salsa, and bass-jumping music route or go the PJ, Netflix, makeup route. Whichever you choose, make sure the vibe leads to carefree fun with lots of laughter.
Weekend Getaway
Night on the Town
Don’t wait! Put on that fire red dress you’ve been saving and take your heels on the town. You deserve to feel like a hot mama, so do it. Comedy shows, open mics, and nightclubs are all great venues, but what matters most is the way you feel when you’re walking inside.
Instead of talking about that trip you want to go on, book it. We mean it. Get flights to a beach for some heat and relaxation, or plan a road trip to a nearby city for some exploring. The quality time and memories will make it well worth it.
