For those with a significant other, this time of the year is like the Super Bowl of your relationship. It is the one day where the wellbeing of your relationship rests entirely on your performance during the holiday. It is when your seemingly unconditional love is measured in greeting cards ,chocolate and stuffed animals.
However, for the majority of us who will be spending the day with our cat and Netflix, this holiday is one that we eagerly try to avoid.
In attempts to flip the bleak outlook on Valentine’s Day for single participants, women across the nation have been gathering more and more every year in support for Galentine’s Day.
“What in the world is Galentine’s Day??” you may ask, but don’t fret! Luvo is here as always to bring you all things about this amazing holiday.
The origins of Galentine’s Day remains unclear. Some trace it back to the beloved Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation where the holiday was traditionally celebrated the day before Valentine’s Day as a day devoted to womanhood.
According to Knope:
“…it’s only the best day of the year! Me and my lady friends leave their husbands and their boyfriends at home and just kick it breakfast style. Ladies celebrating ladies…Plus, frittatas!”
Today it is simply a new take on Valentine’s Day where women unite and enjoy the holiday with their best gal pals through food and drinks, music, games, fun and appreciation. So how can you celebrate this amazing holiday?
Put on your best outfit.
No seriously, get dressed up! What better way to appreciate yourself than to look and feel good? It’s a holiday and everyone loves an excuse to get dolled up.
Get all your favorite lady friends in on it.

The great Andy Warhol said it best “one’s company, two’s a crowd, and three’s a party”. So why not get all 30 of your friends to truly make sure it’s a party! Get your sisters, mom, coworkers, besties, aunts and anyone else in on this to truly have a great time.
Food is essential.
People love to eat so make sure some type of munchies are on the Galentines agenda. This can be decided by the group to have a uniqueness to your party. Are your girls into sweets and sugar? Get a fondue kit or bake fun themed cakes. If that isn’t your thing, bring everyone back to middle school days and have a pizza party! The options are truly endless.
No guys allowed!
One of the most important part of a Galentine’s Day Party is that there are no husbands or boyfriends in attendance. Why? Because that is the whole point of Galentine’s Day of course! This is a time to relax with your female companions and enjoy their company.
Love your ladies
Surely the most critical part of the Galentine’s Day celebration is to truly love and appreciate the women you have surrounded yourself with. You all are in each others lives for a reason; so sit back, enjoy some food, laughs, and memories with all your favorite gal pals.
