"For me, it was 10 out of 10. That whole day was intentional,"
"on a day that's usually filled with pressure to be in a relationship, or sadness because I wasn't currently in one."
"What's Galentine's Day? Oh, it's only the best day of the year,"
"It's an escape to just be with your girls, be silly, do something fun and just focus on the friendships you've created and enjoying each other's company,"
A memorable Galentine's Day can prioritize female friendships with intentional time off, massages, cocktails and a fancy dinner. The pop culture boost came from a 2010 "Parks and Recreation" episode that framed Feb. 13 as a day to honor gal pals. Celebrations range from intimate friend outings to larger parties with hired bartenders, DJs and gift bags, often excluding men. Shared-experience activities include classes like cookie decorating, calligraphy and stained glass. Hosts describe the events as empowering escapes that emphasize connection, fun, learning and appreciation of friendships rather than romantic expectations.
