Valentine’s Day Girlfriend Get-together

Single or not, inviting a few girlfriends over for a Vday “Galentine’s” party is always a good idea! We don’t really need an excuse to get together, but holidays provide an instant party theme and fun excuse to celebrate friendship!

I asked a few girlfriends to come over for an afternoon of sweets, modern art-making, Valentine’s Day crafts, and floral cocktails! It was a great day and everyone loved getting creative and painting!

Painting Party for Valentine’s Day

I wanted to have a few fun activities to do and I think painting can be so therapeutic so we all brought out our inner modern artists!

We painted on canvases with different shades of pink acrylic paint. I loved seeing the creative ideas everyone came up with.

Tips for Making Valentine’s Day Cocktails

If it’s a shaken cocktail, make it ahead of time in the cocktail shaker. Wait to add ice, then right before serving, add the ice and shake, shake, shake! Then strain! This way you can prep all of the ingredients and measurements ahead of time.

Add a charming detail like pink ice cubes! They’re naturally colored with hibiscus flour and easy to make.

Use edible flowers to garnish your Valentine’s Day cocktail. You can even make your own edible flower garden! If not, find edible flowers in the fresh herb section at Whole Foods.

VALENTINE’S DAY CRAFTS 

We love the idea of a painting party, creating beautiful art pieces to decorate your home with. Furthermore, it’s an art that many people don’t take the time to do, so hosting a party with all of the supplies is such a wonderful idea!
