Nothing says “friendship” quite like matching bracelets! 🙂 My best friends and I love hosting a fun and interactive craft party.

This bracelet kit is SO cheap, with amazing reviews, literally under $10, and includes everything you need to set up the perfect bracelet-making station.

You and your friends can design bracelets that reflect your unique styles or incorporate inside jokes and special memories. It’s super fun and incredibly nostalgic!

Heart-Shaped Pizza Making

Everyone loves pizza! It’s time to turn your kitchen into a pizzeria and let everyone create their own heart-shaped pizzas. This idea is incredibly popular because it serves a dual purpose: it’s a fun activity for a Galentine’s party, and it takes care of the food as well!

DIY Lip Gloss Charms

I am obsessed with this super-easy DIY trend. It’s viral on TikTok and Pinterest for a reason. Grab your favorite lip gloss and turn it into a super cute lip gloss keychain charm! It’s girly, it’s cute, and it makes for the perfect girls’ night activity.

Galentines Cocktails / Mocktails Party

What’s a party without drinks, hahaa? No seriously. I had this as an activity for my last Valentine’s party, and it was a hit! Everyone enjoyed crafting and mixing their very own special drink. We even voted at the end on which drink tasted the best. 10/10 highly recommended (!!)

Galentines Charcuterie Board Ideas & Wine

This is the perfect appetizer and snack idea for a Galentine’s party! I create a themed charcuterie board for all my hostings, and it is seriously so much fun and the most talked about (you can call me the charcuterie board lady at this point ahaha!)

Candle Making Or Candle Painting

How fun and creative is this galentines party activity? I’m so obsessed with candles, so this idea is perfect for the girls who love their candles. Grab some candle wax pens and get to decorating (hearts, reds, pinks, to make the ideal Valentine’s Day craft)!

Honestly, you can likely find your wax candles at the Dollar Tree for $1.25 (hahah).. I actually found these candle wax sticks, a pack of 20, for less than $14, so it’s actually cheaper on Amazon!

Jellycat Exchange

Jellycats are super trendy right now and for all the right reasons (comfort, style, & nostalgia). They are literally everywhere, especially being gifted on TikTok (!!) & believe it or not, it’s a huge hit amongst adults. This will make the best galentines gifts and perfect for an exchange.

Cookie Decorating Contest

If you and your girls love a little competition, you can bake delicious cookies and design them with a Valentine’s theme (I’m talking pinks, reds, hearts, glitter, and more) & vote on who decorated the best cookie 🙂

Galentines Party Activities: Sip & Paint

Sip & Paint is a classic and fun activity that everyone loves. You can set up a scene to create a Galentine’s and/or Valentine’s themed painting. This will keep it festive and enjoyable!

Love Letters / Words Of Affirmation

Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating love and supporting your closest friends. This idea is not only charming but also creates a keepsake that you and your friends can cherish for months to come.

Simply write everyone’s name on an envelope and have each person place a “love letter” / letter of affirmation, to one another inside.

Spa Night

Ahh, who doesn’t enjoy a pampering and relaxing day!? It’s time for a pampering session that can be created at home! You and your girls can DIY facials, manicures, and pedicures for a fun and relaxing evening!

Create Vision Boards / Affirmation

We alll love capturing memories, and what better way than by having a themed Valentine photo shoot with your besties? Find an area in your home for a backdrop, buy some Valentine’s Day props (glasses, hearts, Valentine balloons, etc), and snap photos that everyone will love!

Don’t forget to print your photos for keepsakes. I always print mine at CVS Photo Prints or Walgreens Photo Prints, they have amazinggg deals and coupons all year long for more than 1/2 off at a time.

Galentines PJ Party

Slumber parties are filled with laughter, talking about boys, and capturing memories. That’s why a pajama party might be the best and a fun Galentines activity everyone will remember. And such a nostalgic moment.
