Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about roses and romantic dinners for two. This year, celebrate love and girlie friendship with a Parisian-inspired Galentine’s Day party that’s as chic and charming as the City of Light itself. Whether you’re gathering your closest girlfriends or planning a soirée for the whole squad, a French-themed celebration complete with buttery pastries and sparkling champagne is the perfect way to indulge in a little joie de vivre.
Décor Details
I decided to host a little early Galentine’s Day experience for my friends straight out of a Parisian dream. First, I found these little pastel pink-striped boxes, as well as macarons in different shades of pink at Home Goods, and decided to make these the focal point of my tablescape. I subsequently built the rest of my décor around those details, including vases filled with gorgeous white and pink roses and baby’s breath (from Trader Joe’s) and a variety of little pink candles, as well as taper candles in glass holders. Of course, my tiered server was not complete without a giant pink bow, and I had to hang my vintage Barbie poster above the table to watch over the event in silent approval.
Dinner Details
Along with the pink macarons, I decided to serve fresh croissants and slices of French bread, along with a big slice of triple crème brie cut into the shape of a heart and topped with strawberry jam. I also found little strawberry meringue cookies, which I served in a pink glass bowl! For drinks, we enjoyed freshly poured Bailey’s Chocolate Espresso Martinis, followed by sparkling rosé!
Activities
I found a heart-shaped friendship bracelet kit, which we put together while watching the Eras Tour movie!
I hope this inspires you to put together your own girlie get-together filled with effortless elegance and say “ooh la la” to the ultimate girl’s night in!
