Have you ever celebrated Galentine’s Day? Traditionally celebrated on February 13, this holiday is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your friends! Whether you are looking to have a small gathering or hold a large party, we’ve created the perfect guide to ensure everyone feels the love on February 13.
Food and drinks
This is a perfect opportunity to have appetizers and fun heart-themed drinks! A potluck-style party is a great way for others to bring their favorite dishes for their friends, while also giving you more time to focus on other elements of the party. For drinks, stay focused on red fruit flavors, like strawberry and cherry, and see if you can add some festive fizz, like soda or sparkling water. Here is some inspiration for some treats and appetizers:
Savory appetizers
- Pizza roses
- Bacon-wrapped dates
- Cranberry whipped feta dip
- Cocktail meatballs

Sweet treats
- Chocolate-covered strawberries (try adding red, pink, and white sprinkles for decoration)
