We are less than a week away from Galentine’s and Valentine’s day. I’m not big on Valentine’s day festivities, but after 2020, I’m celebrating every chance I get.
Being in a long-distance relationship, Valentine’s day looks different for me every year. But celebrating the holiday with my girlfriends has become a special and fun tradition for me.
In this post, I’m sharing 5 fun and COVID-friendly date ideas you can do with your gals this year.
Galentine’s day date ideas
- At Home Brunch
A few years ago, my college roommates and I decided to host a Galentine’s day brunch and it was amazing. We each contributed by cooking one dish. Well, I was in charge of decoration lol. We blasted music throughout our apartment, sang along to our favorite songs, shared stories, and laughed. This is a great idea, especially during the current pandemic.
- Bougie Picnic
The pandemic completely changed the way we view picnics. Picnics are the new brunch and you can actually have both.
Hosting a cute intimate picnic at a park or the beach is another great date idea for you and your gals.
This past summer, I wrote a full guide for hosting a brunch picnic.
- Girls Night In
Yes, adult sleepovers exist! And they are much more fun because you can drink as much as you want.
You can start the night with a fancy dinner. Each person can bring or cook a dish. If you’re cheesy like me, you can all wear matching PJs and play games, watch movies, and indulge in some great conversations.
- At Home Sip & Paint
My friends and I took a cabin trip this past December and this was one of the activities I enjoyed the most. It’s a super affordable idea. You can gather supplies from the dollar store, find a painting tutorial online or have everyone paint whatever they want.
You can also find sellers on Etsy who sale kits for your at home sip and paint party.
- Send a Gift Basket
This final idea is for people who are unable to be with their friends this year. You can still make your friends feel special by sending a thoughtful gift basket. Schedule a zoom/facetime call and have a virtual Galentine’s day celebration.
Let me know what your plans are for this year. Are you celebrating with friends? Or not celebrating at all this year?
