Host A Parks & Rec Marathon

More Galentine's Day Party Ideas

A pom pom and lantern wall is literally the perfect way to add some texture to any Galentine's Day party! Plus, you can reuse them for upcoming bachelorette parties and baby showers ;).

Take a simple white table cloth (bonus points if it's paper) and paint "xoxo" across it for a personalized, romantic addition to your table.

Never underestimate the power of gold letter balloons. They're our favorite!

In lieu of flowers, fill some of your favorite vases with all kinds of red and pink candies.

If a pure candy charcuterie board is overwhelming, opt for a mix — supplement chocolate, marshmallows, and strawberries with meat and cheese for a board that's both lunch and dessert.

Mix up your Galentine's Day party mimosa bar by providing different juices and different garnishes that your guests can choose from.

Letter boards are a super easy and super fun way to add spunk to your party. Plus, they don't take up a lot of room so that's a win-win for us!

Grapefruit juice is the perfect addition to your Galentine's Day party's pink cocktails — or to sparkling water for a low-key mocktail.

Candlesticks, jars, cake trays, oh my! The more dishes, the better as far as we're concerned.

It's easier than ever to find super cute, super sassy napkins. It's a small touch that goes a long way!

Mini bottles of champagne aren't just good for your Galentine's Day party — have everyone write a goal on their bottle, and wait to pop it until that goal is achieved!

Find heart-shaped plates to add extra romance to your tablescape. *Sigh.*

Galentine's Day Party Favor Ideas

Miniature potted plants are as cute as can be, and when they're wrapped in pink napkins? To die for.

Cupid would totally approve of these red candy kabobs.

If you have a collection of white bags for your Galentine's Day party favors, go crazy with the designs! Draw hearts, arrows, or write a little note to each of your friends.

Nothing says "I love you" like knowing your friend's favorites — which means you'll knock beauty product gift bags out of the park.

Red lollipops get a fruity upgrade when you wrap their sticks in green tape. Voilà!! The cherry on top of all your Galentine's Day festivities.

Wall envelopes are the perfect place to stash all your candy — or a super artsy Galentine's Day note.

Less is more with a Galentine's Day party favor that lets your BFF know how much she means to you.

A little bit of thoughtful wrapping makes a colorful bouquet even more beautiful than it already is!

Add tiny bows to all your champagne bottles for a true coquette party theme.

Use a pair of scalloped scissors to turn regular gift bags into something even more eye-catching!

Galentine's Day party favors don't *just* have to be candy and cards — celebrate your friends' hobbies with thoughtful gifts, too!

We'll literally never say no to chocolate, especially when it includes flower petals!

Greek Crescent Rolls

Buttery, flaky rolls are wrapped around creamy feta-kalamata dressing and a medley of chopped veggies to make this appetizer. The sweet sun-dried tomatoes and salty feta cheese perfectly balance one another out. (via Whitney Bond)

Easy Cheesy Jalapeño Poppers

Forget the breadcrumb-coated poppers you know from the freezer aisle because they can't complete with this crescent roll appetizer. These elegant pastry-wrapped jalapeño bites combine comfort food and class in one tidy package. (via The Blond Cook)

Sweet and savory maple sausage mingles with melted cheddar to make these bites absolutely irresistible. You can also add this recipe to your breakfast ideas list. (via Appetites Anonymous)

BEST Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Rolls

Your guests won't even recognize that these are made from crescent roll dough. They look totally homemade, and the sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top gives them an extra savory kick. (via Go Go Go Gourmet)

Pasta Bread Rolls

Filled with pesto, tomato, and cheese, these are like the grown-up version of pizza roll-ups. The best part is the cheese that gets crispy and golden on the bottom of the rolls. (via El Mundo Eats)

Philly Cheesesteak Crescent Rolls

Here we have a sub shop favorite masquerading as fancy finger food. Each satisfying bite is stuffed with shaved steak, cheese, and peppers. (via Food Fanatic)

Bronzed crescent rolls are stuffed with cream cheese and smoked salmon in this recipe. They're yummy served warm or cold. (via Christie At Home)

Take a cue from our Thanksgiving leftovers guide and use any remaining sweet potato to create these sweet crescent rolls. (via Completely Delicious)

Easy Vegan Rugelach

This may look like a savory crescent roll appetizer, but it's actually a dessert-filled treat! You can fill the middle with things chocolate or raisins. What makes this dessert vegan is its lack of cream cheese. However, you can always add it should you feel like taking a walk on the wild side. (via The Edgy Veg)

Glazed Apple Pie Crescent Rolls

Apple desserts are undefeated, but we couldn't have anticipated the quick and easy way this version could make our mouths water. We recommend saving this recipe so you can serve it during your Christmas brunch party. (via Whole and Heavenly Oven)

We only have two words for this crescent roll appetizer – absolutely scrumptious! (via Half Baked Harvest)

Hutch Bandeau Romper

If you are worried about chafing in a dress, or an unexpected gust of wind, this loose-fitting romper is a perfect alternative to a traditional sundress. Because it’s so flowy, it gives the illusion of being a mini dress and is offered in 3 different lively prints that are perfect for spring and summer.

Hollister Channeled Open Back Skort Dress

In more romper goodness, this little number from Hollister is everything. The open back makes it even more breathable, while the corset-esque top gives you that romantic, Bridgerton vibe that's so fun for the summer! Content Editor Haley Sprankle has this in blue, and she definitely recommends!

Knyt Studios Long Sleeve Scarlett Maxi Dress

After stumbling upon this sophisticated knit maxi dress, it was immediately added-to-cart.

American Eagle Puff Sleeve Button-Up Mini Dress

We love this dress for spring and summer jaunts – priced at $50 it won’t break the bank and the design of the silhouette is intentionally flattering.

This vintage-inspired number is so easy to feel dressed up in while maintaining comfort during long wear times.

Abercrombie Traveler Mini Dress

Attention all active girlies, you’re going to want this dress. Different than other workout dresses on the market, Abercrombie’s Traveler dress disguises itself as a sundress that feels a bit more formal thanks to elevated floral, polka dot, and striped prints.
