Whether you're planning a romantic evening for two or a festive gathering with your gals, Valentine's and Galentine's Day are all about celebrating love and connection. As a NJ wedding planner, I know a thing or two about creating memorable moments, and with a little creativity, you can too!
For the Lovebirds:
Set the scene: String fairy lights, scatter rose petals, and light scented candles for an enchanting ambiance.
Dinner date with a twist: Skip the crowded restaurants and cook a delicious meal together! Amazon Fresh has high-quality ingredients and meal kits for every culinary skill level. Bonus points for plating it on heart-shaped dishes!
Recreate your first date: Take a walk down memory lane by revisiting the place you met or recreating your first date at home. Add a personal touch with a digital picture frame or custom playlist.
Movie marathon under the stars: Project a romantic movie outdoors using a portable projector (like the Anker Nebula Capsule) and cozy up with blankets and pillows. Don't forget the popcorn and candy!
Couples spa night: Pamper yourselves with relaxing bath bombs, face masks, and massages. Amazon has a wide variety of spa gift sets to choose from.
For the Galentine Gang:
Girls Night In: Whip up a gourmet charcuterie board with gourmet cheeses, meats, and fruits, or order a decadent dessert box for two. Don't forget the bubbly! Make some delicious mocktails or cocktails (depending on your preference!), and enjoy some quality time with your besties. Don't forget the fun with matching pajamas, fluffy slippers, and cute headbands. 🚨Amazon recently partnered with Victoria's Secret so get your favorite pajamas and scents even faster now!
DIY craft night: Get crafty with Galentine's Day-themed decorations, friendship bracelets, or wine tumblers.
Spa day at home: Give each other mini makeovers with face masks, mani-pedis, and fun hairstyles. Don't forget the relaxing music and cucumber eye slices!
Volunteer together: Spread the love by volunteering at an animal shelter, soup kitchen, or another cause close to your hearts.
Bonus Tip: No matter what you choose to do, make it personal and meaningful for your loved ones. Add handwritten notes, inside jokes, or special touches that reflect your unique bond.
Remember, the most important ingredient is celebrating the love and connection you share. So get creative, have fun, and make this Valentine's or Galentine's Day one to remember! If you need more inspo, check out the Valentine's/Galentine's Day finds on my storefront.
