Galentine’s Day, celebrated on February 13th, is the perfect excuse to show your best friends just how much they mean to you—because nothing says “I love you, bestie” like hanging out with craft supplies and a whole lot of flowers! Here’s your guide to hosting a memorable (and slightly EXTRA) flower-themed Galentine's Day party.

1. Set the Mood with Decor

Start by transforming your space into a floral paradise!

**We listen and we don’t judge —**

Dismantling store-bought bouquets to create your own vase arrangements is A-OK I promise!

Colour Palette: Choose a vibrant colour palette that reflects the essence of friendship—think pinks, reds, and whites.
Floral Arrangements: Use fresh flowers to create eye-catching centerpieces. Theres no harm in dismantling store-bought bouquets to create your own vase arrangements, I promise!

2. Invitations

Send out lovely floral-themed invitations, either digitally or as handmade cards. Use floral prints and include a playful message like…

Join me for a celebration of blooms, booze and NO BOYS — a girls-only Galentine’s day soiree!

COST SAVINGS TIP: Use Canva for beautiful digital and print Invitation options!

3. Craft Station

**Get ALL the Girls Onboard**

Ask each gal to bring a large store-bought bouquet to help with the bloom inventory and selection!

One of the highlights of your flower-themed Galentine's Day party can be a craft station.

DIY Vase Arrangements: Set up a floral design station with a variety of fresh flowers, vases, ribbons, and scissors, allowing guests to get creative and design their own unique arrangements. This interactive activity doubles as a fun hands-on experience and a beautiful takeaway gift for each guest to enjoy at home!
COST SAVINGS TIP: Have each guest bring a Large store-bought bouquet to the party — instant fresh floral supply!

4. Floral Treats and Drinks

Keep the theme going with delicious snacks and drinks.

**I LOVE Local**

Everything you’d need for a DIY char-**cute**-rie you can get at my favourite bakery - Truscott Bakery

Flower-themed Sweets & Savouries: Serve floral-inspired treats such as rose-flavored cupcakes, lavender cookies, or even a fresh fruit tart garnished with edible flowers. If you're more of a savoury girl, you’re speaking my language! Put together a magazine-worthy charcuterie board with a mix of hard and soft cheeses, cured meats, sweet preserves, herbed crackers, and a touch of floral garnishes for an extra chef’s kiss aesthetic!

Friend IN THE BIZ referral: No one beats my girls Khadhija of Cake Canvas or Lauren of Happiness is sweet for all things sweet and stunning.

Themed Drinks: Create a signature cocktail or mocktail like a Lavender Lemonade or Rose Sangria. Add fresh flower petals as garnish for that extra touch!

5. Fun Activities

**#CupidFails are SWEET**

…when each guest adds their favourite candy to a communal bowl and shares their cringey story!

Incorporate games and activities that keep the atmosphere lively for example:

Trauma-Candy-Bowl Game: A Sweet & Spicy Galentine’s Twist
This viral game has taken root, so why not give it a sugar-coated spin? Here’s how it works: Each guest brings a bag of their favorite candy. Provide a big communal bowl. One by one, each girly empties their candy into the bowl while sharing their most epic Cupid fail story. Laugh, cry, commiserate—then dig into your collective heartbreak snack. Film it (or keep it between the girls). Either way, it’s a deliciously cathartic way to bond!

What’s a Cupid Fail Story you ask? — A Cupid fail story is a funny, cringey, or downright disastrous dating or love-related mishap—basically, when a Valentine romance did not go as planned. Think bad dates, embarrassing confessions, ghosting gone wrong, or Valentine’s surprises that flopped spectacularly. It’s the kind of story you laugh about after the heartbreak fades!

6. Music Playlist

Curate a playlist packed with spicy girl-power songs that celebrate friendship and love. Look for upbeat, feel-good tracks that create a joyful and empowering vibe throughout the event. Here are a few of my favs:

"Flowers" – Miley Cyrus
"Whoops you messed up" – Meghan Trainor
"You Don’t Own Me" – SAYGRACE Ft. G-Eazy
"The Man" – Taylor Swift
"IDGAF" – Dua Lipa
"God is a Woman" –Ariana Grande
"Fighter" – Christina Aguilera
"Thank U, Next" – Ariana Grande
"Confident" – Demi Lovato
"Who Says" – Selena Gomez & the Scene
"Love Myself" – Hailee Steinfeld
"Paint the Town Red" – Doja Cat

In sum

Hosting a flower-themed Galentine's Day party is an excellent way to celebrate your friendships. By incorporating creativity, delicious treats, and floral arrangements, you’ll create a delightful experience that your friends will cherish. So gather your favourite blooms, invite your best gals, and get ready to bloom together in celebration of friendship!
