It doesn’t matter if you’re in a relationship or not, Valentines Day is the BEST excuse to get together with your besties and throw a little GALentine’s party … that’s right, no boys allowed!!

While all of us would LOVE to get away with our girls for the ultimate girls night, it can be JUST as fun to throw a little party at your home!! The best part of this … you can get as creative as you want!! From a tea party to a dance party, whatever it is that floats your boat, do that!! Below I’m sharing 5 GALentine’s party ideas with you, take a look and allow yourself to get inspired!!

1. Host a Brunch: Helloooo this is the perfect time to bust out that mini waffle maker you got for Christmas!! Lol!! Think sweet and savory breaky foods … mimosa’s … coffee and baileys … who wouldn’t want to kickstart their day like this?? Again … I’ll wait for my invite … LOL.

2. Get Crafty: What’s more fun than mixing booze with crafts?? Personally, I think I’m MORE creative when I’m a lil tipsy lol! I think an evening of letting your creative juices flow is the best idea!! Purchase some fresh flowers (of any kind) and have all of your girls make their very own bouquet, this then also double as a party favor, they can bring it home with them at the end of the night … who needs a MAN now?!?! Lol.

3. Mystery Wine Tasting Party: Each guest brings a bottle of wine of their choice, make sure the label is covered, I suggest just keeping them in the paper bag after your purchase it … everyone samples each bottle of wine and ranks the wine based on taste, the wine that locks in the most points for taste … WINS!! You could even have a cute little gift for the lady who brought the winning bottle!!

4. Jammies & Movie Night: Toss a bunch of pillows and blankets on your couch and cozy up with your gals for a night in watching your favourite flicks and sipping on a few bottles of wine! Everyone can write down their favourite movie whether it’s Sleepless in Seattle or Magic Mike … toss em all in a hat and pick one to kick the night off!! Mix some Valentine’s Day candy into your popcorn and you have yourself a slumber party for the books.

5. Pizza Party: I know from experience just how fun a pizza party is!! Everyone gets to make their own little pizzas with their favourite toppings, all while sippin on your beer of choice! It’s even MORE fun when the dough is cut out into little hearts! Count. Me. In.

3. DIY GALentine’s Balloons: This idea is so cute!! You can typically find these balloons at most Dollar Stores, they are so cheap and they’ll even fill them up and tie them for you. Then, if you can also score stick on letters at the Dollar Store you can create ANY message you want on the balloons … genius. jillian-harris-galentines-day-7
