The Unofficially Official Holiday You Need to Know
Ladies! Listen up! Forget Valentine’s Day, because we’ve got something even better: Galentine’s Day. It’s all about celebrating love in its purest form, and trust me, it’s way more fun. As the “Barbie” movie wisely said, “Every night is girls’ night!” So, what’s Galentine’s Day all about? Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the details and embrace the ultimate friendship version of V-Day.
Originating from the Comedy Show That Started It All
Believe it or not, we have Amy Poehler’s iconic character, Leslie Knope, from the comedy show Parks and Recreation, to thank for this fabulous day. In 2010, Leslie introduced the concept of Galentine’s Day, a day for “ladies celebrating ladies.” Since then, it has become the greatest fake holiday ever!
The Antithesis of Valentine’s Day
Galentine’s Day is all about positive vibes, empowerment, and celebrating female friendship. It’s a day that welcomes everyone, regardless of their relationship status. Whether you’re single, taken, or in a complicated situation, you’re more than welcome to join in on the festivities.
How to Celebrate Galentine’s Day in Style?
Galentine’s Day is a day to let your creativity shine and make your own rules. Whether you prefer a festive brunch, a sleepover in heart-print pajamas with wine and chocolates, a pampering day at the nail salon, or a night out on the town, the choice is yours. You can even throw a Galentine’s Day party with Valentine’s Day games, cocktails, and desserts tailored to fit your friend’s festivities.
The Joy of Making Galentine’s Day Your Own
Unlike traditional holidays, Galentine’s Day is still new and evolving. This means you have the freedom to create your traditions. Pay tribute to Leslie Knope by hosting a waffle and cocktail brunch or explore other options like tapas happy hour, dining at a fancy restaurant, or coordinating a group mani-pedi appointment. Just remember to pop the champagne and celebrate the greatness of being in a room full of your favorite people.
