WHAT IS GALENTINE'S DAY?

Observed on February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day celebrates platonic friendships, of all types and stripes. 💕

“Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”
- Leslie Knope, Parks and Rec

Since the famous Parks and Rec episode, Galentine’s Day has expanded into the broader popular culture, becoming our favorite Valentine's Day alternative.

Humans of Humanitix, it's time to celebrate our friendship and love for one another! As we approach Galentine's Day on February 13th, it's important to think about creative ways to celebrate with our closest pals. If you're looking for inspiration for your own Galentine's Day celebration or for a virtual event you're hosting, we've got you covered!

One idea is to host a virtual movie night with your besties. Choose a fun and quirky film that celebrates all things friendship, some of our favorites are "Bridesmaids", "Hairspray", and "Mean Girls," and gather virtually to watch it together. You can even make it a theme night by dressing up in your favorite movie characters' attire.

Getting your best friends together and exploring something new is a great way to celebrate the day. Go for a nature walk in the great outdoors. At Humanitix, one of our favorite team pastimes is rock climbing and bouldering.

Another fun idea is a cooking or baking class. Invite your friends to join you in the kitchen to whip up a delicious dessert or dish. You can make it a competition to see who can create the most Instagram-worthy creation.

For a more pampering experience, you can host a spa day. Encourage your friends to set aside some time for self-care and relaxation. Share a list of at-home spa treatments, like face masks and manicures, and spend the day chatting and pampering yourselves.

Want more? Sure! Here are some additional ideas for in-person Galentine's Day events:

• Brunch or lunch gathering at a local restaurant
• DIY workshops, such as pottery or painting
• Wine and cheese tasting
• Yoga or fitness class
• Shopping excursion to a local boutiques or markets
• Karaoke or trivia night
• Outdoor picnic
• Game night with board games and snacks
• Art museum visit
• Cooking or baking class at a local culinary school

These are just a few ideas to get you started, but the possibilities for celebrating Galentine's Day are endless. Remember, the key to a successful Galentine's Day event is to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere where you and your friends can catch up and spend quality time together. So pick an activity that everyone will enjoy and celebrate the power of crazy, silly, and loving friendship!
