I don’t know about you, but in my opinion, Galentines is one of the best holidays of the year! After all, what is better than gals celebrating gals? If Saturdays are for the boys, then Sunday brunch is reserved for the girls.
That said, last Sunday I hosted my very first Galentines event. We came, we concurred, we brunched! My friend Lauren brought croissants. I made homemade heart-shaped mini waffles, complete with toppings like chocolate chips, powered sugar, raspberries, strawberries, valentines sprinkles, maple syrup, nutella, and whipped cream. Additionally, I set up a cheese and salami board, drink station (complete with pink lemonade, grapefruit juice, orange juice, cotton candy, and champagne), and a valentines sweet board. Nothing says “Be Mine” like your traditional sweet hearts candy.
Though the brunch items easily took the cake, it still wasn’t Galentines without the proper decor! I bought “love my gals a brunch” balloons from CherCanDolt’s Etsy shop. I also used a template and made heart and xoxo felt cut outs (felt purchased from Michaels), as well as bought these cute gnomes and heart-shaped pillow on Amazon. Last, but not least, I decorated my bar cart and purchased an assortment of roses from Trader Joes.
Galentines Brunch was so fun! Being new to Utah, it was a great way for me to connect with coworkers, an old friend from Tahoe, and some of the girls my boyfriend went to school with who I now call friends. Grab your best pinks, reds, and whites, and get that music bumping (Galentines playlist). Cheers to Galentines and all the gals in my life! XOXO
