70+ Fun Galentine’s Day Party Ideas for the Cutest Girls’ Night In 

Galentine’s Day always feels like the perfect excuse to slow down for a night and just be with your girls. 

No pressure, no big expectations—just good snacks, cute drinks, and the kind of conversations you only have with people who know you inside out.

So I pulled together a bunch of fun Galentine’s Day party ideas that make hosting feel easy but still really cute. 

Whether you’re planning a full girls’ night in or something super low-key, you’ll probably find one or two ideas here that fit exactly the kind of vibe you want.

Theme Ideas

When I think about hosting a Galentine’s night, the first thing that comes to mind is how it’s going to feel once everyone’s actually together.

1. Pink and Red Theme

I always love how instantly festive pink and red feel together. Once you set those colors, everything else falls into place from the table to the drinks.

2. Pajama Night In

This one’s all about comfort. Everyone shows up in pajamas, grabs a snack, and settles in like the plan is to stay awhile. It keeps the night relaxed and makes the whole thing feel more like a sleepover than a party.

3. Console Game Night

Set up the console, turn on the TV, and let everyone pile onto the couch. It’s casual, loud in the best way, and perfect for a group that likes doing something together while still talking nonstop.

4. Tea Party at Home

This one feels slower in a good way. You set the table, pour some tea, and suddenly everyone’s sitting down longer than they meant to. It turns into one of those nights where the talking just keeps going and no one’s in a rush.

5. Everyone Brings a Food Board

Hosting can be a lot, so just have everyone bring a board. It’s way less work for you, and the table looks insane once everyone sets their stuff down.

You can do a mix of anything—tacos, sushi, sliders, or even just a dessert and fruit board. It’s the easiest way to get a huge spread without being stuck in the kitchen all night.

6. At Home Skincare

Actually doing your skincare routine with friends is so much better than doing it alone in your bathroom. Just throw a bunch of face masks and creams on the table and let everyone pick their own.

7. Matching Outfit Night

This is one of those things that sounds simple but makes the night feel way more put together. The photos always end up being really cute without anyone trying too hard.

8. White and Red Theme

If pink feels like too much, this is a nice middle ground. The space stays clean and light, with red adding just enough contrast to make it feel festive.

Decor & Table Setup

Honestly, you don’t need to overdo the decor. Just focus on the lighting and a few cute table details—it makes the whole vibe feel way more put-together without much effort.

I usually start with these three to get the look:

9. Pink and Red Heart Balloons

This one just screams Galentine’s right away. Pink and red heart balloons lined up neatly already do the job, and that little XOXO in the middle makes it even cuter.

10. Floating Floral Backdrop

Be honest, this is the kind of thing you see once and immediately save. Flowers floating across the ceiling make the whole room feel different, and you can already picture how good the photos would look.

The best part? It’s surprisingly easy to DIY. You just need some fresh flowers and a roll of clear fishing line to hang them.

11.  Big Bow Wall Decor

This idea surprised me in a good way. Turning disposable tablecloths into giant bows is such a genius hack. 

You can grab a few pink and red plastic tablecloths and just tie them up—it fills a blank wall for literally a few dollars.

12. Vintage Photo Wall

This feels very creative and a little messy in a cute way. Covering the wall with newspaper and doodling hearts and XOXO on top turns into a photo background everyone ends up using.

13. Pink Table Setup

I’m obsessed with how a single color theme just pulls everything together. I usually go with a sheer pink table runner to keep it light, then add some pink candle holders for the vibe.

It makes the whole place look way more intentional, even if you’re just winging the rest of the decor at the last minute.

14. Teacup Napkin Bows

It’s all in the details. You just need some napkins to tie into bows around your teacup handles. It takes two seconds but looks so high-end.

15. Personalized Wine Bottles and Place Cards

This is always a hit. You can get printable wine bottle labels and put your friends’ faces on them. It’s way more fun than just serving a regular bottle.

16. Floor Table with Cushions

There’s something instantly relaxing about sitting on the floor with cushions—it just makes the conversation flow better.

17. Flower Ice Bucket

I honestly love this one because it feels unexpected in the best way. Flowers frozen inside clear ice instantly turn a regular drink bucket into something people stop and stare at, and you can already picture everyone asking how it was done.

Fun Group Activities

The best nights are the ones where you’re doing something with your hands while you gossip. These kits are perfect because they actually look cute when you’re done, and they save you from having to buy a hundred separate supplies.

These are my favorite picks for a craft night:

18. Paint and Sip Night

If you want something that feels fun without trying too hard, this is it. You’re painting, sipping, and talking all at once, so there’s zero pressure to be good at anything.

I found these mini heart-shaped canvases and honestly, they’re the cutest. Even if you’re not an artist, the shape does all the work for you.

19. Make Friendship Bracelets

This one sneaks up on you in the best way. I really like how it gives you something to do while still letting conversations happen naturally.

To keep it easy, just get a friendship bracelet kit that already has the heart beads and elastic strings included.

20. Create Your Own Perfume

Not every Galentine’s activity gives you a memory you can literally smell later. Mixing scents and seeing what everyone gravitates toward feels way more intimate than you’d expect.

21. Build a Flower Bouquet

This feels like one of those activities that instantly lifts the mood. I love how everyone’s bouquet ends up looking completely different, even though you started with the same table.

22. Decorate Galentine’s Sunglasses

Rhinestones, stickers, hearts—there are no rules, and that’s exactly why it works. I’m into activities where you can laugh at how extra everything turns out.

Just grab a pack of bulk heart sunglasses and some colorful letter beads, and let everyone go wild with the glue.

23. Decorate a Cake Together

Sharing one cake somehow makes this way more fun than decorating separate ones. Everyone has opinions, everyone’s hands are involved, and it gets messy fast.

24. Make Punch Cards

This one is all about inside jokes and tiny promises. You get to decide what actually counts as a “reward,” which makes it feel personal instead of cheesy.

25. Paint Photo Frames

I love this because everyone gets a souvenir to take home. I usually buy a set of unfinished wood frames and some acrylic paint—it’s a super chill activity.

26. Heart Shaped Pizza Night

Food always brings everyone together, and this just makes it more fun. Shaping the dough, choosing toppings, and arguing over who gets the last slice is half the experience.

27. Cookie Decorating

There’s something weirdly satisfying about decorating cookies together. You can go all out or keep it simple, and no one’s judging because it all tastes good anyway. Plus, eating your own messy creation at the end just feels right.

28. Design Your Own Candles

I’m into DIYs where you actually use the result. These candle wax pens make it so simple—you just draw directly on the candle and you’re done. No messy wax or heat needed.

29. Charm Jewelry Making

It’s always fun seeing how different everyone’s style is once the charms come out. You can just get a charm jewelry kit and let people pick whatever speaks to them.

30. Paint a Tote Bag

You don’t have to overthink this one at all. These blank cotton totes are super cheap when you buy them in bulk, and you can paint whatever you want on them.

31. Lip Gloss Charms

This is so nostalgic. You just need some clear gloss and a few tiny resin charms to drop inside. It’s quick, cute, and very “Pinterest.”

32. Hairbrush Decorating

You’re taking something boring and turning it into something that actually makes you smile. Every time you use the brush later, you’ll think about that night.

33. Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Chocolate and strawberries are already a guaranteed win, so the mood stays light from the start. You dip, decorate, snack, and talk all at the same time without stopping the flow. 

34. Make Small Clay Dishes

Working with clay pulls you into the moment more than you expect. Your hands stay busy, the conversation softens, and everyone ends up focused in their own little way.

Interactive Bars

This always turns into one of those spots people keep drifting back to. Someone wanders over out of curiosity, and a few minutes later there’s a little group standing around chatting like that was the plan all along.

35. Pomegranate Margarita Bar

This one just feels elevated without trying too hard. I love how the pomegranate color instantly makes the table look festive, and you can keep it simple or dress it up with sugar rims and fresh fruit.

36. Parfait Bar

It’s cute, low-stress, and everyone gets exactly what they like. I’m obsessed with how easy this is to set up—yogurt, granola, berries, done—but it still feels thoughtful.

37. Galentine’s Kissing Booth

The name grabs attention, but the cotton candy twist is what makes it work. Paying 25 cents for a fluffy treat feels playful and slightly nostalgic.

38. Bouquet Bar

I love anything guests can take home, and this one feels extra special. Mixing flowers, wrapping paper, and ribbons turns into a mini creative moment.

To make the bouquets look legit, have some brown kraft wrapping paper and twine ready. It makes the “bar” feel like a real flower shop.

39. Affirmation Station

This is simple, but it hits. Writing notes for your friends—or even for yourself—feels surprisingly meaningful in the middle of a party. I’d absolutely recommend this if you want a moment that’s warm, not just aesthetic.

40. Cocktail Bar

Sometimes you want options, and this gives everyone freedom. I like setting out a few mixers and garnishes and letting people experiment.

41. Love Letter Station

There’s something timeless about this. You can keep it sweet, funny, or dramatic—whatever fits your group—but it always feels more special than a text.

42. Polaroid Station

This is a must-have. I always make sure to have an Instax Mini 12 and plenty of instant film packs ready so people can take their memories home.

43. Galentine’s Kiss Cam

This turns into a photo moment without trying. It adds a playful pause in the middle of the party, and somehow those end up being the pictures everyone keeps.

Food & Snack Ideas

Food naturally weaves its way into the night. I’ll grab something while listening to a story, and you’ll probably do the same without even realizing it. Those are the snacks that keep everything feeling easy and effortless.

44. Charcuterie in a Heart Layout

This is less about the food and more about how it changes the table. Arranging everything into a heart instantly makes it feel intentional without adding extra work.

45. Heart-Cut Loaded Potato Bites

Cutting the potatoes into hearts is such a small detail, but it completely changes the vibe.

The secret to these is just a metal heart cookie cutter. You can use it for the potatoes, but it also works for cutting out fruit or heart-shaped cheese for your charcuterie.

46. Heart Waffles

These feel fun without trying too hard. You can keep them simple or dress them up with fruit and syrup, depending on how extra you want to be.

Honestly, I’m obsessed with this mini heart waffle maker. It’s so small it fits in a drawer, and it’s basically the official mascot of Galentine’s Day brunch.

47. Taco Heart Setup

Laying the tacos out in a heart makes a familiar food feel playful. Nothing about the menu changes, but the presentation does all the work.

48. Heart-Shaped Pizza

You can’t go wrong with pizza. Giving it a heart shape is a low-effort way to make a crowd favorite feel intentional.

49. Party Sliders

These are practical in the best way. Small, filling, and easy to grab while you’re talking, they keep the party moving without pulling attention away.

50. Pink Braided Loaf

The color alone makes it stand out. It looks decorative but still feels casual enough to tear and share, which I really like.

51. Breakfast Grazing Board

This lets everyone eat at their own pace, which feels right for a Galentine’s setup. I’d recommend this if you want a brunch table that doesn’t feel structured.

52. Tiered Dessert Display

Stacking desserts vertically changes the whole look of the table. If you’re short on time but still want impact, this does the job.

If you want your table to look professional, you need height. A 3-tier cupcake stand makes even store-bought donuts look like they’re from a fancy bakery.

53. Donuts & Cookies for Galentine’s

This is what I reach for when I don’t want to overcomplicate the food. You can set it out and forget about it, and somehow it’s always the first thing to disappear.

54. Pink-and-Red Candy Spread

This is all about the aesthetic. Sticking to a strict pink-and-red palette does all the heavy lifting for your table decor.

55. Chocolate Strawberry Cups

This is my go-to when I want fruit to feel like dessert. Putting it in cups keeps things clean, and the chocolate drizzle makes it feel intentional instead of last-minute.

56. Galentine’s Day Cake

This is the one thing I wouldn’t skip. You just need a cake that feels celebratory when it comes out. It’s the moment everyone stops talking for a second—and that’s exactly why it matters.

Drinks & Mocktail Ideas

There’s a moment when everyone ends up with a drink in hand and the mood lifts just a bit. It feels more celebratory, more fun, and you can tell it’s turning into one of those nights people bring up later.

57. Galentine’s Margs

The red color does most of the work here. It’s familiar enough that no one hesitates, but it still looks intentional.

How to make

• Run a lime wedge around the rim if you want extra grip, then set the glass aside
• Shake tequila, fresh lime juice, and raspberry syrup with plenty of ice
• Strain into a low glass over fresh ice
• Drop in three raspberries
• Gently float a heart candy on top before serving

58. Cotton Candy Kiss

This isn’t subtle, and it doesn’t need to be. You serve it, the cotton candy melts, and that’s the whole point. I’d keep it on the list purely because it turns into a moment without any effort.

How to make

• Chill your champagne glass first—it helps the color stay clean
• Pour prosecco or champagne about three-quarters full
• Add a small splash of cranberry or raspberry juice and stir once
• Place pink cotton candy on a pick
• Let it melt tableside, not ahead of time

59. Ex-presso Martini

Pink espresso martinis shouldn’t work, but they do. The coffee beans keep it from tipping into gimmick territory. If you like coffee drinks and want something softer-looking, this is the one I’d keep.

How to make

• Brew espresso and let it cool completely
• Shake vodka, coffee liqueur, and the espresso with ice until frothy
• Strain into a martini glass
• Let the foam settle for a second
• Finish with three coffee beans on top

60. Galentine’s Colada

This feels more like a pause than a party drink. The coconut rim and fruit make it slow by default. I’d reach for this when the table needs something calm, not another loud cocktail.

How to make

• Lightly rim the glass with honey or syrup, then coat with coconut flakes
• Blend coconut cream, pineapple juice, ice, and strawberry syrup until smooth
• Adjust thickness with ice or juice as needed
• Pour into the prepared glass
• Garnish with a strawberry and a dried orange slice

61. Not Your Lover Clover

All red, no distractions. It reads confident, maybe even a little dramatic, and I like that it doesn’t try to be cute about it. This is the drink that balances out everything sweet on the menu.

How to make

• Fill a shaker with ice
• Add vodka, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime
• Shake just until chilled, not diluted
• Strain into a low glass over ice
• Top with three raspberries

62. Chocolate Kiss Shot

I don’t usually care about shots, but this one earns its place. Chocolate changes the expectation completely—it’s not about getting it over with.

How to make

• Dip the rim of a shot glass into melted chocolate
• Chill the glass until the chocolate sets
• Shake chocolate liqueur, cream, and vodka with ice
• Strain into the prepared glass
• Serve immediately

63. Lovers Punch

Yes, it’s served in individual glasses, but it still feels like a party drink. The heart-shaped strawberry does all the flirting, so nothing else has to.

How to make

• Rim each glass with pink sprinkles and set aside
• In a shaker or pitcher, mix vodka and cranberry juice
• Add a splash of soda right before serving
• Pour over ice into prepared glasses
• Garnish with a heart-shaped strawberry

64. Cupid Cookie Martini

This goes last. By then, subtlety is pointless anyway. The cookie on top makes the intention clear—you’re ending on something sweet, slightly extra, and unapologetic.

How to make

• Rim a martini glass with sugar or coconut and chill
• Shake vanilla vodka and cream liqueur with ice until smooth
• Strain into the chilled glass
• Let it settle for a moment
• Place a pink cookie gently on top

Mini Gifts

The end of the night usually sneaks up quietly. I’m saying my goodbyes, you’re grabbing your bag, and something small gets handed over as a last little touch.

66. Heart-Shaped Gift Boxes

This is the easiest way to make something small feel intentional. I like these for candy, lip balm, or socks—nothing fancy, just sweet.

For the goodbye gifts, these small heart boxes are perfect. You can fill them with a few candies or a lip balm and you’re good to go.

67. Heart-Shaped Gift Cups

These feel casual in the best way. You can fill them with candy or mini skincare and let everything peek out from the top. If you don’t want your gifts to feel too “wrapped,” this keeps things light and fun.

68. Clear Heart Gift Containers

I like that you can see what’s inside right away. This works well when the gifts themselves are part of the visual.

69. Mini Gift Baskets

These feel a little more complete without getting big. If you want the gift to feel like a tiny collection instead of a single item, this is it.

70. Paper Gift Bags

If you want to keep it simple, just get some red paper gift bags and stuff them with pink tissue paper. It’s classic and never fails.

So that’s the little collection of Galentine’s party ideas I ended up putting together. I hope a few of them help you plan a night that feels warm and easy and very “your group.”

Which idea are you already picturing for your girls’ night in? And is there one you’re definitely trying this year?
