It's the season of love and whether it's with your bae on a romantic date night at home or with your girlfriends watching movies together, you've got to celebrate! A few days back we asked you all, "How would you celebrate love?"
And although we had a clear winner, we want to share both ideas with you!
Here are 2 fun ways to celebrate Valentine's or Galentine's Day 2025. Let us know which one's your favourite!
What is Galentine’s Day?
Galentine’s Day, celebrated on February 13th, is a day dedicated to celebrating friendship, particularly among women. Popularised by the TV show Parks and Recreation, it's a fun and empowering occasion where women gather to appreciate each other through activities like brunches, movie marathons, and gifting thoughtful presents. Unlike Valentine’s Day, which focuses on romantic love, Galentine’s Day honours the bonds of friendship and the joy of being surrounded by supportive, like-minded individuals.

Girls' Night Food
For a memorable Girls' Night, food plays a key role in setting the mood. Opt for shareable dishes like tapas, finger foods, or a delicious charcuterie board that fosters conversation and fun. You could also indulge in comfort foods like pizza, sushi, or gourmet burgers, paired with refreshing mocktails or cocktails. A mix of flavours and textures ensures everyone has something they love, making the evening as enjoyable as the company itself.
Galentine’s Games
Galentine’s Day is the perfect occasion for fun party games that celebrate friendship. Try games like Never Have I Ever for laughs or Truth or Dare for a little adventure. For a creative twist, play Galentine’s Bingo with personalised squares about your friends’ quirks or Friendship Pictionary for some lighthearted competition. These games not only bring out the fun but also strengthen the bond between friends, creating lasting memories of a day dedicated to celebrating each other.
