How to Host a Virtual Galentine’s Day Celebration
GALENTINE’S DAY —the unofficial February 13 celebration of female friends falls on a Saturday this year, so it’d be wrong to not spend the occasion connecting with your closest friends. As with everything over the past year during the coronavirus pandemic, it’s safest to do it digitally. From choosing a dress code to coordinating the menu, here’s how to host an epic virtual celebration that'll spotlight the love you have for your girls.
Writing Letters to Your Besties
Sometimes you just gotta say it in writing… A handwritten letter is a great way to show your friends how much you mean to them. You can find plenty of Galentine’s Day cards on Etsy, or make your own card, but it’s the words you write that hold the most power.
2. Practice Self Love with Daily Affirmations
Galentine’s Day isn’t just about showing appreciation for your best friends… it’s also an opportunity to show yourself some extra love during the dreary days of February.
If you’ve never tried it, daily affirmations can be an extremely powerful tool.
Try these self-love centered affirmations to get you started:
I love my individuality.
I accept myself unconditionally.
I overflow with creativity and good ideas.
I do not allow my fears to hold me back from my goals.
I am learning and growing every single day.
3. Virtual class
Does someone in your group have a specialty item they make that you've all been dying to learn? Have that friend lead a virtual class. “Maybe you have a friend with an amazing recipe, or at-home spa treatment,” said Sharpley. If they're willing to share (at least with your group of friends), perhaps they can teach everyone what it is they're making. Then, just send out the recipe (or even ingredients!) beforehand so everyone can participate.
