Love is in the air, and whether you're celebrating with your besties or that special someone, a fabulous party is the perfect way to spread the love! Whether you’re all about the ultimate girls' night in or planning a dreamy, romantic soirée, we’ve got the tips to make your Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) bash unforgettable.

1. Set the Vibe with a Gorgeous Theme

Nothing sets the mood like a well-thought-out theme. Choose a color palette (think classic reds and pinks or trendy pastels) and let it guide everything from your decor to your table settings.

2. Deck Out Your Space with Insta-Worthy Decor

Go all out with themed decorations! A cheeky banner, cute napkins and stylish tableware will instantly transform any space. Need something unique? Check out #ThePartyPeople’s 'Lucky in Love' collection or any of our great Valentine’s items to elevate your party aesthetic.

3. Signature Cocktails & Mocktails

A well-crafted drink menu is a must. Create a signature cocktail or mocktail for the night! Here are a few fun ideas:

  • The Love Potion: A mix of rosé, elderflower liqueur, and fresh berries

  • Cupid’s Kiss: Champagne with a splash of pomegranate juice

  • Blush Spritz (Mocktail): Sparkling water, grapefruit juice, and a hint of rosemary

4. Deliciously Themed Treats

Your guests will swoon over a themed snack board! Heart-shaped cheese, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and a dessert station with pink frosted cupcakes and macarons will keep everyone happy.

5. Fun & Flirty Party Games

Keep the energy going with interactive games and activities!

  • For Galentine’s: “Most Likely To” with your squad, karaoke, or a rom-com movie marathon

  • For Valentine’s: Love-themed trivia, a couples’ challenge, or DIY love letters

6. Capture the Memories

Set up a fun photo booth with cute props so your guests can snap Insta-worthy pics. Create a custom hashtag so everyone can share their moments!

With these tips, your Valentine’s or Galentine’s party is guaranteed to be a night to remember. Whether it’s a cozy get-together or a full-on soirée, it’s all about celebrating love, laughter, and good company.

Cheers to love, laughter, and an unforgettable party! 🥂💕
