Galentine’s Day has officially become one of the most fun excuses of the year to gather your favorite women, eat amazing food, laugh a little too loud, and celebrate friendship in all its forms. Whether you’re single, married, dating, or just tired and in need of a good night with your girls, Galentine’s Day is about connection and friends.
If you’re planning a Galentine’s party and want activities that feel fresh, not forced, and definitely not awkward, you’re in the right place. From low-key bonding games to creative DIY stations and laugh-out-loud moments, these Galentine’s party activities are fun, modern, and easy to tailor to your group.
So grab the pink snacks, pour the mocktails (or cocktails), and let’s plan a girls’ night that everyone actually enjoys.
Icebreaker Activities (That Aren’t Cringey)
Not every group of friends knows each other equally well. Icebreakers can be great, as long as they’re lighthearted and optional.
Galentine’s “This or That”
Create a simple printable or chalkboard with fun choices like:
- Chocolate or vanilla
- Stay in or go out
- Rom-com or true crime
- Texting or voice notes
- Coffee or matcha
Have everyone answer verbally or with a show of hands. It’s quick, easy, and sparks conversation without putting anyone on the spot.
Friendship Bingo
Friendship bingo cards can include things like:
- “Has known the host for over 10 years”
- “Brought snacks”
- “Loves candles”
- “Has watched the same show twice”
- “Owns more than one planner”
Guests mingle to find someone who fits each square. First bingo wins a small prize (think chocolates, face masks, or a candle).
Game Night, Galentine’s Edition
Games are a staple of any good Galentine’s party, but the key is choosing ones that feel fun, not competitive or uncomfortable.
Galentine’s Trivia
Create trivia questions about:
- Famous female icons
- Rom-com quotes
- Pop culture moments
- Friendship-themed movies
- “Guess the year” celebrity photos
Play in teams or individually. Keep it light and funny rather than overly difficult.
“How Well Do You Know the Girls?”
Before the party, ask each guest to answer a few fun questions like:
- Favorite snack
- Dream vacation
- Go-to comfort show
- Biggest pet peeve
At the party, read the questions aloud and have everyone guess whose answer it is. This works especially well for mixed friend groups.
5-Second Style Games
Fast-paced games where players must name three things in five seconds are perfect for Galentine’s night. Categories could include:
- Romantic comedies
- Taylor Swift songs
- Chocolate brands
- Things you’d bring to a girls’ trip
- Excuses to cancel plans
Quick turns, lots of laughs, zero pressure.
Creative & DIY Activity Stations
Activity stations are ideal if you want people to float around rather than sit in one place all night.
Bracelet or Jewelry Making
Set out beads, charms, elastic cord, and small jewelry pliers. Friendship bracelets, minimalist necklaces, or charm bracelets are all easy wins.
This activity gives everyone something to do with their hands while chatting, and they leave with a keepsake.
Vision Boards (Modern Version)
Skip the overly serious goal-setting vibe and make this fun:
- “2025 vibes”
- “Soft life goals”
- “Main character energy”
- “Dream weekends”
- “Manifesting joy”
Provide magazines, printed quotes, scissors, glue sticks, and poster boards. Play upbeat music and let it be relaxed and creative.
Decorate Your Own Dessert
Set up a cupcake, cookie, or brownie decorating station with:
- Frosting
- Sprinkles
- Drizzles
- Edible glitter
- Candy toppers
It’s low effort for the host and always popular.
Feel-Good Galentine’s Activities
Not everything has to be loud or silly. Some of the most meaningful Galentine’s moments come from slower, thoughtful activities.
Compliment Cards
Set out blank cards and pens. Have everyone write a short, genuine compliment for each guest. Collect them in envelopes so everyone goes home with a bundle of kind words.
This activity is surprisingly emotional in the best way, and perfect for close-knit groups.
Friendship Superlatives
Create fun (and positive) superlatives like:
- Most likely to plan the trip
- Best hype woman
- Always brings snacks
- Best advice giver
- Most likely to reply instantly
Read them out loud or hand them out as certificates.
Gratitude Circle
This is best for smaller, close groups. Invite (never force) guests to share one thing they appreciate about friendship or about someone in the room. Keep it short and casual, no pressure for speeches.
Self-Care Party Activities
Galentine’s Day and self-care go hand in hand, especially for busy women who rarely slow down.
DIY Spa Night
Create a mini spa setup with:
- Face masks
- Under-eye patches
- Hand creams
- Nail polish
- Cozy headbands
Put on a comfort movie or relaxing playlist and let everyone unwind.
Candle or Lip Balm Making
Simple DIY kits make great group activities and feel a little luxe. Plus, everyone leaves with something useful.
Cozy Movie Break
You don’t have to watch a full movie, but having one playing in the background helps set the mood. Popular Galentine’s picks include:
- Legally Blonde
- Bridesmaids
- The Devil Wears Prada
- Someone Great
- Mean Girls
Laugh-Out-Loud Activities
If your group loves humor, these activities will be instant hits.
Rom-Com Drinking or Mocktail Game
Choose a movie and assign moments like:
- Someone falls in love instantly
- A makeover montage
- A dramatic airport scene
- An unrealistic apartment
Sip whenever it happens.
“Worst Date Ever” Stories
Invite guests to anonymously write down their worst date story. Read them aloud and let everyone guess if it’s real or fake. It’s hilarious and surprisingly bonding.
Meme Caption Contest
Print or display popular meme images and have guests write their own captions. Vote for the funniest one.
Food-Based Party Activities
Food can be the activity, especially if it’s interactive.
Build-Your-Own Boards
Create stations for:
- Charcuterie boards
- Dessert boards
- Nacho boards
- Mini waffle boards
Guests customize their own plates while mingling.
Galentine’s Taste Test
Blind-test chocolate, cookies, mocktails, or candies. Have guests rank their favorites. Winner gets bragging rights.
Mocktail or Cocktail Bar
Set out juices, syrups, fruit, garnishes, and recipe cards. Let everyone create and name their own drink.
Photo & Memory Activities
You’ll want photos, but not ones that feel staged or forced.
DIY Photo Booth
Use a simple backdrop, string lights, and a few fun props. Keep it casual so people can jump in and out naturally.
Polaroid Guest Book
Have guests snap photos and write messages next to them in a scrapbook. It becomes a keepsake you’ll actually look back on.
Low-Pressure Activities for Chill Groups
Not every Galentine’s party needs a packed schedule.
Puzzle Table
Set up a cute puzzle in a corner that guests can work on throughout the night.
Card or Board Games
Simple games like Uno, Phase 10, or card games work well for smaller groups.
Open Playlist Requests
Let guests add songs to a shared playlist for the night, it keeps the vibe collaborative.
Tips for Planning the Perfect Galentine’s Party
- Don’t over-schedule. Choose a few activities and let the night flow naturally.
- Make everything optional. The best parties allow guests to participate, or not.
- Think comfort. Cozy seating, good lighting, and snacks go a long way.
- Mix high-energy and low-key activities. Balance is everything.
- Focus on connection, not perfection. Laughter and conversation matter more than Pinterest-level decor.
Galentine’s Day isn’t about doing everything, it’s about doing something together. Whether your night includes games, crafts, deep chats, or just eating snacks in pajamas, the best Galentine’s party activities are the ones that bring people closer.
So plan what feels right for your group, skip what doesn’t, and remember: celebrating friendship is always worth it.
Cheers to the girls who show up, hype you up, and make life sweeter, on Galentine’s Day and every day
