Gather up all your gal-pals! Time to celebrate friendships and treat yo’ selves to some quality GAL time! Sharing Galentines Day ideas to easily do right now with your fab friends. Chic ideas for everyone, but especially if you are over the age of 30 and your idea of “girls night” doesn’t include matching outfits. ahem.
❤️Galentines Day: If you watched Parks and Recreation you already know what Galentines Day is all about. However, if you need a refresher it’s a day that’s observed on February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, to celebrates platonic friendships, generally among women. But all are welcome!
❤️Chic Ideas for your Gals❤️
Getting the gals together does NOT need to be a major production. Here are easy ideas y’all can organize right now that are also within budget and that “over 30” vibe. Go ahead… time to NOT feel guilty indulging with any/all of the ideas below…
Treats…
- Charcuterie Board (here’s how to put one together)
- Dessert Bar (get some glam frosted/decorated sugar cookies, mini-brownies, truffles…)
- Brunch (easily make heart-shaped waffles with THIS )

- Choose a fave cookbook (like THIS one) & have everyone bring 1 appetizer/recipe from it!
Some Silly Stuff…
- Heart themed accessories (THESE sunnies are on-trend and so charming)
- FRIENDS tv show themed pencils (love these!)

Spa Stuff…
- Manicures (with new nail polishes, buffers, files, holder, remover, stickers…)

Decor…
- Banner (attach THIS to a bar cart, your front door, a table…)
- Photo booth props (use THESE for photos or place around your space)
- Balloons (THESE are chic to gather in a bunch or scatter around…or THESE LED balloons would be fun for outside)

This Galentines looks like so much fun and you have everything covered. I don’t have a big group of friends anymore but the few of us will surely get together.
What a great way to enjoy this holiday (that I will not name!). Calling it Galentine’s Day and having a party is a great idea to enjoy each others company!
What a creative way to make the holiday work for you! I love the idea of a gal get together!
I love the name Galentines Day. Your ideas look like a lot of fun to do with my friends. I may have to put something together.
A charcuterie and a night of chit chatting and giggles is just what I need. Great idea!
This is just what the doctor ordered….. the glam doctor, that is! I am so excited to put one of these together for my close gal pals. What a perfect reminder to celebrate each other in a classy grown-up way. There are hardly any ideas out there for anything like this that don’t involve a girls’ night with pajamas and Hallmark movies, so thank you for curating these! Sweet yet sophisticated. Keep up the awesomeness, Glam Karen! I feel enlightened each time. XO
So fun! I might have to do this with my kids. I mean, no alcohol obviously, but just have an enjoyable evening. I need to show them to Adam Sandler films.
This looks like so much fun! I’ve never celebrated a galentines day but I do know many people who love doing this, I will be sharing your ideas.
This is indeed perfect for those who are planning to have a date with their girlfriends. I Would love to have a spa date!
I am really impressed by this one. I always thought Valentines day is always about of couples and lovers. It can also be a time to celebrate friendships.
Whenever my girlfriends and I have get-togethers , we always give each other silly stuff. It makes it much more fun.
Treats, spa, and drinks? Sign me up! Hoping to do something fun for Galentine’s Day this year. I’m looking forward to it!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I had never heard of Galentine’s day but it sure sounds like a winner. I wish I lived closer to my only girlfriend in the world, we would have so much fun celebrating together.
These are some great ideas. I love that Galentine’s Day is a thing. It’s important to hang out with your friends as well. I love it!
this is such a fun idea esp bc my friends and i area ll in our 30s ha and its nice to have some girl time together 🙂
I’m not over 30, but I love these ideas. I am so overdue for a visit to the spa…that’s my favorite idea lol.
This looks like a fun way to spend Valentine’s Day. I think I’m going to be spending the day prepping a cake for my nephew’s birthday.
Love the idea of getting to hang out with girlfriends right before Valentines. Wine, food and friends is the perfect celebration. Great ideas here!
