We’ve said this before, but a true appreciation fo all of the tiny little amazing details the Valentine’s holiday has to offer is best appreciated by your gal pals. A
s much as your S. O. Tolerates aaallll of the pinks and hearts and flowers and handwritten letters and all the best aspects of valentine’s day, your gal pals THRIVE in it. So round up the gang and let’s celebrate! Here’s what your going to need.
Any gathering can greatly benefit from an intentional drink. Having a cocktail or “bulk drink” ready to go and aesthetically put together brings your gathering immediately to the next level, so go ALL out for the gals — they’ll notice the effort!
These days you can seriously get by with any kind of food focus! Finger foods, bundt cakes, cupcakes, cheeseboard, brunch — you name it! We’ve even seen some kombucha parties recently and honestly why aren’t there more healthy food-focused parties?
By setting up your display carefully you can REALLY maximize photo opportunities! A good focal wall not only frames out your food of choice, but it also provides a nice little backdrop for any photo opportunities. Props, especially in this context, are always a bonus!
GO ALL OUT GIRLFRIEND. We’re talking rose plates, chargers, labeled drinks, flowers, personalized details — go till your little heart’s desire! Start with one element that you REALLY love, and build from there!
If “man, I feel like a woman” started playing as your read this, you’re on the right track. Carry on.
Don’t feel like this has to be a huge orchestrated event! The “activity” can be anything from cake decorating, relationship status games, “favorite things” gift exchange, karaoke, or even just eating said cake. Heck, even the photo op can be the activity! The point of the “activity” is to add some natural flow to the event that helps avoid lulls.
So go on with your party planning! And you can shop the details of this shoot in our online store! Happy galentine’s, friends! Spread the love.
