This Saturday is only the best day of the year: February 13, Galentineâs Day! The holiday’s patron saint Leslie Knope likes to focus on her big threeâfriends, waffles, and work. On Galentine’s Day, it’s all about ladies celebrating ladies with brunch, gifts, brunch, and more brunch.
Regardless of what order you put those in, itâs a time to celebrate the super amazing ladies in your life. So gather your best girlfriends and use these tips and Pinterest board to throw the best Parks and Recreation Galentineâs Party from here to Pawnee!
Decor
Leslie Knopeâs gal day party is a vision of floral centerpieces and pink decor, all to the soundtrack of Mouse Rat tunes.
Small boxes of succulents or dip dyed flowers make nice low centerpieces so that you can chat about female role models across the table and still enjoy your waffles. For the walls, pink accents with gold word balloons tell all your friends how much they mean to you. Then again, so does a wall of donuts.
Food
Galentineâs Day is a day to Treat Yoself and your friends, and thereâs no better way to do it than stacks and stacks of delicious breakfast food.
Pink cocktails, fancy ice cream, and a lengthy waffle bar with all the toppings would be enough for an average day, but for Galentineâs Day you absolutely must go all out. Hand craft individual edible odes to Pawnee’s most famous resident miniature horse, Li’l Sebastian, using eggs, bacon and French toast for all your party guests.
Gifts
Your friends are beautiful tropical fish and they deserve the best. Little takeaways for your besties are just extra love to take home after a memorable Galentineâs Day.
One of the best Galentineâs Day crafts is needlepoint, second only to 5,000 word essays of why your friends are all so awesome. Put it all in an extra special tote tucked in with a commemorative sweatshirt and itâs literally the best gift youâll give all year.
