10 themes for your best Galentine’s Day party yet

Love may suck, but an excuse to gather with your girls does not. This year, we’re not just ~having Galentine’s Day~... we’re hosting absolutely epic parties centered around the beauty and resilience of women and friendship with groundbreaking themes and iconic decor. Need some inspo on how to make February tolerable? Check out the list below for our top ten ideas for 2025.

‍

1. The cherry on top 🍒

Let a fruit as sweet as you take center stage this Galentine’s Day. From a cherry invitation to cherry soda or an adorable cake with little cherries frosted on, this theme is totally IG dump approved. 

‍

2. Sabrina Carpenter, the woman that you are ☕

Our 2025 muse has given us SO many theme ideas from the Short n’ Sweet album (and the whole tour for that matter). From an espresso cafe to a “Slim Pickins” grazing board… Miss Carpenter really blessed us with a plethora of party options when she dropped these bangers. “1 of me is cute, but 2 though” and everyone twins with a friend?? C’mon. Oh, and our favorite: “Their, They’re, There are so many reasons to celebrate”. So… please, please, please try out a Galentine’s Day party with this theme!

3. Pickle party 🥒

Bowls of those little mini cornichon pickles, a pickle invitation, and a dill dirty martini signature drink… we’re sold. 

‍

4. Pink Pony Club 🦄

If you want to feel H-O-T-T-O-G-O this Galentine’s Day… can we interest you in a little Chappell-inspired soiree? Decorate with all things pink, put The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess on loop, and you’re set. We love incorporating horseshoes or pony motifs throughout the decor as well 💗

‍

5. Cupid’s cafe 🏹

We’ve seen so many adorable at-home cafe setups lately, and Galentine’s Day is the perfect reason to host your own! Brew some coffee, lay out your flaky croissants, and draw up a little handwritten menu for a truly authentic, cozy feel! 

‍

6. Galentini 🍸

Given the state of the dating pool these days… it’s only fitting to have an entire party theme dedicated to where girlypop meets dirty martini: the Galentini. Mix up some cocktails, vent about how truly low the bar is at this point… and may we suggest needlepointing martini designs as an activity? It makes a super cute party favor and poking something a few hundred times does feel like some pretty good anger relief, in our humble opinion. 

‍

7. Tinis & weenies 🌭

Ok, we’ll say it again. Given the state of the dating pool these days…. it’s actually only fitting to have TWO party themes dedicated to martinis. Add some delicious hot dogs (because, well, yum) and cheers to friendship. Bonus points if you do this theme and bring your pet dachshund. 

‍

8. Spill the tea 🫖

No tea, no shade, but this themed tea party is as good a time as any to be slightly shocked over how many of your mutuals are suddenly hard-launching relationships you had no idea about. Pour a mug of your favorite tea, snack on some shortbread or mini sandwiches, and probably watch a season of Real Housewives while you’re at it. 

‍

9. Hearts & crafts 🧶

Well, this is wholesome. Host a little craft potluck and have everyone bring a craft they want to work on! Decorate your tablescape with these darling doilies, pour a bowl of classic sweetheart candies, and craft away to your heart’s content! 

‍

10. Love stinks 🕯️

Look, and it does. But, we’re putting a positive (or naively optimistic) spin on things with this candle painting concept. Grab your favorite scented candles, melt down some decorative wax, and enjoy the relaxation of painting cute little designs while sitting in a room full of divinely scented candles.

Soooo… ready for Galentine’s Day? Gather the girls with one of these themed Invitations!
