Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating friendship, self-love and the incredible women in your life. Usually marked on 13th February, it’s the perfect excuse to bring your best friends together for a cosy night filled with laughs, treats and feel-good moments.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed evening at home or a full themed celebration, hosting a Galentine’s party is a lovely way to make memories and show your friends just how much they mean to you. From matching pyjamas to pink cocktails and fun activities, here’s how to host the ultimate Galentine’s Day party at home.
Set the Theme & Decorate Your Space
Every great Galentine’s party starts with a theme. Classic Galentine’s décor leans into pinks, reds and romantic details, with playful touches. Hearts, bows and soft lighting instantly set the mood. Decorate your space with heart garlands, fairy lights and candles to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Add ribbon bows to glass stems, sprinkle heart confetti across the table and bring in fresh or faux flowers for a feminine finishing touch. Even small details can make your Galentine’s décor feel thoughtful and intentional.
Choose Matching Pyjamas
Matching pyjamas are a Galentine’s Day must. Not only do they look great in photos, but they also help everyone feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment they arrive. Opt for pink or red pyjama sets, romantic prints or soft, cosy pjs that suit the theme of the night. Whether you go for silky styles or comfy cotton sets, coordinating pyjamas add an extra layer of fun and make the evening feel extra special.
Create Galentine’s Cocktails or Mocktails
No Galentine’s party is complete without a signature drink. Create a pink cocktail or mocktail that your guests can enjoy throughout the night. Popular Galentine’s cocktail ideas include strawberry daiquiris, raspberry prosecco or a blush gin fizz. For non-alcoholic options, sparkling pink lemonade, cranberry soda or strawberry mocktails work beautifully. Serve drinks in elegant glassware and finish with heart-shaped garnishes.
Plan Fun Galentine’s Day Activities
Keep the night flowing with easy, feel-good activities everyone can enjoy. Karaoke is always a crowd favourite, while a Galentine’s quiz adds a fun, personal twist - think friendship trivia, pop culture or shared memories. Board games are perfect for a relaxed vibe, and a chick flick movie marathon is ideal for winding down. Line up your favourite rom-coms, grab cosy blankets, and enjoy an evening of laughter, chatting and quality time together.
Final Tips for Hosting the Perfect Galentine’s Party
The key to a great Galentine’s Day celebration is creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, appreciated and free to be themselves. Focus on cosy details, thoughtful touches and activities that bring you closer together - everything else will fall into place naturally. Whether you go all out with themed décor or keep things simple with pyjamas and cocktails, a Galentine’s party is about celebrating friendship in the most joyful way.
