Pink and red everything: Stick to a dreamy colour palette of pinks, reds, and whites to create a cheery vibe.
Fairy lights and candles: Use soft fairy lights and aromatic candles to create a cosy ambience for the evening.
Balloon garland: Set up a DIY heart-shaped balloon arch for the perfect photo backdrop.
Flower arrangements: Brighten your space with fresh roses, peonies, or even faux flowers in beautiful vases for a romantic touch.
Photo booth corner: Create a selfie station with fun props like heart-shaped sunglasses, tiaras, and playful signs—it’s a must-have!
Delicious food & drinks to indulge in
No party is complete without an amazing feast! Go for fun, shareable bites that everyone will love.

DIY pizza bar: Set up a mini pizza bar with different toppings so everyone can create their own.
Charcuterie board: A mix of cheeses, crackers, fruits, and chocolates is both aesthetic and delicious.
Chocolate fondue station: Melted chocolate with strawberries, marshmallows, and pretzels? Yes, please!
Signature cocktails/mocktails: Whip up a themed drink like a "Love Potion" cocktail (cranberry juice + vodka) or a mocktail with pink lemonade and berries.
Mini desserts: Obviously you cannot miss desserts at the Galentines party. Opt for cupcakes, macarons, and heart-shaped cookies for a sweet touch.
