Let your friends know just how much they mean to you with a celebration that includes these Galentine's Day party ideas and recipes for the ages. Food, friendship, and fun? Count us in!
Game night faves
When was the last time you broke out the Scrabble board or played a game of Cards Against Humanity? If you can't remember, here is the perfect Galentine’s Day party idea for you! Game night is easy to throw together and a great way for you and your friends to let loose and have fun. Enjoy yourself and indulge in some sticky, gooey, and just plain messy snacks. No one's judging you here! We've gathered up a few of our game night favorites:
- Spicy Peanut Butter Brittle is just like your grandma used to make with a little extra kick. The Galentine’s Day recipe mixes decadent creamy peanut butter with dry roasted peanuts, Vietnamese cinnamon, and a healthy dose of cayenne pepper. With the boys banished from this party, you don't have to worry about this tasty treat getting stuck in your teeth.
- Every game night needs a good dip, and this one's easy to whip up in a hurry. All the staples of your favorite cheeseburger are served up in one cheddar-y dip. Skip the bun and serve up our famous Cheeseburger Dip with crispy Glutino® Original Crackers to create one of your best Galentine’s Day food ideas yet.
GALENTINE’S DAY BRUNCH RECIPES
Another perfect Galentine’s Day idea is brunch! Who doesn’t love the opportunity to catch up on the latest gossip and participate in some socially acceptable day drinking? Leave the kids with the hubby and enjoy some time with the girls. Whether you are looking for something savory or sweet, we've got everything you need to celebrate Galentine’s Day the tasty way.
- Double down on carbs while you ditch the dairy. These delicious Fluffy Vegan Cinnamon Rolls with Dairy-Free Icing use Earth Balance® instead of the heavy dairy-filled stuff and take only 30 minutes to bake!
- Prefer your Bloody Mary in a dish instead of a glass? With the Spicy 'Bloody Mary' Baked Eggs, you can add all your favorite garnishes for a savory and filling treat.
MOVIE MARATHON MENU
Because what says girls’ night like a late-night pajama party? On Galentine's Day, you don't have to watch another action movie or the latest comic book film (unless you want to). Today's the day for Pretty Woman, Legally Blonde, and all the charming chick flicks you want. For snacks, it's all about the easy-to-munch finger foods:
- It's hard to beat classic pigs in a blanket. Try our Gluten Free Pigs in a Blanket for a snack that will make everyone happy. Want to spice things up? Serve these munchies with Gulden's® Spicy Brown Mustard.
- This one's almost too cute to eat. The Valentine Popcorn Mix (ahem, Galentine Popcorn Mix) uses white chocolate morsels and dried cranberries to give this classic finger food a festive spin. The mix is easy to make and even easier to munch on.
- Looking for a quick way to indulge? Duncan Hines® Walnut Brownie Keto-Friendly Cups are easy to make and ready in minutes. Top your brownie cup with Reddi-wip® Whipped Topping for a decadent chocolate treat.
From paint and sip parties to at-home spa days with your favorite face masks, no matter which Galentine's Day party ideas you choose for your celebration, it’s all about spending time with the girls. You don't have to impress anyone or spend all day slaving away in the kitchen. Stock your pantry with ready-to-eat snacks and throw together a few simple dishes for a fun and stress-free night with your favorite ladies.
