If you or one of your friends has just been burned in the game of love or you're just plain sick of dealing with this Hallmark holiday, this Galentine's Day party will help inspire you to celebrate the best gals in your life and revel in the fun and humor of being single and fabulous! Clad in a trendy palette of pinks, mint and red and jam-packed with snarky DIY valentine ideas, this party will have your girls remembering why they said, "Thank you, next!"
Our Galentine's Day table was full of tiny, pun- filled valentines that are sure to make your best girlfriends laugh, smirk and show off a dramatic eye roll!
Each place setting began with a piece of cardstock from the American Crafts Valentine Cardstock Variety Pack that we used as a pretty place mat. A Pink Metallic Paper Cup set along with a Metallic Pink Hexagon Dessert Plate.
We layered a Mint Dinner Napkin underneath the Plate and added a Fresh Mint Fork to bring a pretty pop of color to the traditional Valentine's Day color palette.
A Pink Metallic Striped Beverage Napkin was layered on top of each Plate and finished off with a Pink Heart-Shaped Favor Box that we detailed with two of our favorite anti-Valentine's Day sayings; "It's not me, it's you!" and "Ugh, as if!"
To remind each of our girls how fabulous they truly are and how dumb boys can sometimes be, we included a few DIY galentines at their place settings.
We wrapped a Light Pink Heart Bubble Tube in a color coordinating Printable that says "He blew it!" (because he did) and included a Valentine Hopping Heart that we detailed in White Adhesive Vinyl to say "Boy, Bye!"
We also included a tasty way to say goodbye to those that don't deserve us with these sweet and snarky cookies from The Novel Baker!
I think we can all agree that pizza really is love!
She also made these deliciously fabulous macarons that say exactly what we're feeling about our exes!
We served the slightly malicious macarons in painted Ceramic Heart Bowls that sat on a bed of color coordinating Paper Grass on white cake stands.
One of our favorite decorations for our Galentine's Day party was a Valentine Heart Neon Light. We backed this fluorescent, fuchsia light with a Print that says "nope", which pretty much sums up the theme of our party!
We flanked the Valentine Heart Light with another one of our snack-themed DIY galentine ideas; a "Fries Before Guys" fry box!
We simply Painted a Kraft Paper French Fries Box and added Alphabet Stickers in mint and Black Sharpie® for the saying. Each Fry Box sat on top of a Mint Painted Mini Foam Heart Wreath topped with a Pink Cardstock heart.
Our final galentine is our "I've made a huge mistake" printable. We housed the print in a DIY Unfinished Wood Picture Frame that we painted mint and added a Stacking Heart Pencil and Beveled Eraser for good measure.
As we all know, some relationships require a big eraser.
Our table sat in front of a gorgeous, pink and red ombre arch made up of color coordinating Red and Pink Tissue Hanging Fans, Red Honeycomb, Light Pink Honeycomb, Red Diamond Honeycomb and Light Pink Diamond Honeycomb mixed with a variety of Red, and Pink Tissue Balls. The backdrop was made complete with a few pieces from the Valentine Hanging Decor Kit. This backdrop provided the perfect piece of eye candy for our fierce, female friends!
