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!

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.

Valentine’s Day Card Making Party

Another fun idea for Valentine’s Day is a card making party! Order a kit and have different supplies set out to make cards and labels. An easy idea but, but also a fun way to make a few homemade cards to give to teachers, coworkers, and friends all while enjoying the company of your friends!

Valentine’s Day Desserts

Keep it simple and make this a cocktail and dessert party! Here are some ideas for Valentine’s Day desserts:

Also, fun to have rose petals around for instant decor! They’re so soft and pretty and you just want to toss them in the air!

VALENTINE’S DAY COCKTAILS

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.

If you’re serving wine, check out our wine serving tips and then show off your skills!

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!
