The Conversation
Calling all ladies! It’s time for the holiday that celebrates with chocolate, hearts and the color pink. No, I’m not talking Valentine’s Day, but rather her spunkier twin sister, Galentine’s Day! The love between gal pals is undeniable and worth celebrating. During this stage of life that we so lovingly call “adulthood,” we rely on our girls to support us through our jobs, the modern and scary world of online dating and any and all quarter-life crises. Let’s face it: We love and need our girlfriends. That’s why a day like Galentine’s Day is quite possibly the best day of the year!
Today we’re teaming up with Studio Ink to show you how to host the most epic Galentine’s Day brunch. We’ve got everything from red velvet heart waffles to DIY centerpieces to Galentine card writing stations. Studio Ink has an awesome collection of cards that are the perfect mix of sweet, sentimental, funny and cute. It’s not truly Galentine’s Day unless you send your besties Valentines… I mean, Galentines. Alright, let’s dive in!
The Spread
First, let’s talk about the food. It’s not brunch without a fabulous array of treats. For our Galentine’s Day brunch, we have berry parfaits, donut skewers, mini muffins, bellinis and a red velvet waffle bar, displayed under a simple backdrop of letter balloons, paper hearts and tassels.
Decorate your table with a few gold bottles and single flower stems. You don’t want your table to be too cluttered, because you’ll want to also have space for all the card writing you’ll do.

Check out how cute these cards are! *heart eyes emoji*
I don’t know about you… but all this card writing is getting me hungry. Which brings me to….
These red velvet waffles were a hit when we tested the recipe at the Brit + Co kitchen, and they certainly will be a hit on your Galentine’s Day brunch table. Learn how to make them with this free downloadable printable.
Red Velvet Heart Waffles With Cream Cheese Glaze
Place the waffles on a platter along with the glaze and other toppings. We’re using heart-shaped sprinkles, for obvious reasons.
Drizzle the glaze on your waffles with a spoon or with a creamer. No matter how you do that drizz, your waffles will be delicious!
Mmm, delightful!
Okay, I already know I want seconds. What better way to wash down your second (and maybe third) helping of waffles than with a bellini? Check out this downloadable signature recipe here!
Brunch babes!
