Our girlfriends mean everything to us, so let’s get creative and not just stick with plain ‘ol going out for drinks when it comes to honoring our friendships.
Here’s 15 Galentine’s Day themes
#1 Spa Day

#2 Floral Arranging
Bring out your creative side by arranging beautiful bouquets. Provide a variety of flowers, greenery, and vases, and let everyone design their own floral masterpiece. This activity is both therapeutic and a delightful way to bring home a piece of Galentine’s Day.
#3 Paint Night
Unleash your inner artist with a paint-and-sip evening. Whether you follow a guided tutorial or paint freestyle, this activity is a fun way to bond and laugh over your artistic efforts. Bonus: everyone goes home with a keepsake of the evening.
