February 13th is Galentine’s Day, so if you’re looking for the perfect excuse to spend some quality time with the ladies, we’ve got you covered. Friendship is everything and it’s well worth raising a toast to the people who stand by us through the ups and downs of the rollercoaster of life. Here’s a round-up of how to spend Galentine’s Day with the girls.
Dinner Date
There isn’t much better than going out for dinner and leaving the food stuff to the professionals. So, whether you’re keen for a little indulgence or something more casual, rev up the group chat with restaurant recommendations for a night on the town.
Paint and Sip
Hone your inner artistic genius with a glass in hand at one of Perth’s many paint and sip classes. Whether you’re there for a boozy night with the ladies or to show off your creative flair, it’s the perfect way to round up the girls in the name of Galentine’s Day.
Karaoke night
Bring the girls together for a toe-tapping, hip-swaying night of karaoke. It’s certainly one you won’t be forgetting any time soon.
Beach picnic
Get the girls around a picture-perfect picnic at the beach, and soak up some vitamin D while you’re at it. Lay down the rug and decorate it with a spread of cheese, crackers, and gourmet meats. If you’re feeling extra peckish, a takeaway pizza always works a treat.
Doughnut decorating
For a fun and delicious way to spend Galentine’s Day, book a Doughnut Decorating session at Krispy Kreme. For only $10.00, you’ll decorate two original glazed doughnuts with a range of love-themed toppings.
Pamper sesh
How about a pamper sesh because we all know self-care is guaranteed to get the good times flowing. Book in for a mani-pedi with the girls or host one at home. Très chic! All in the name of Galentine’s Day, right?
Island hopping
Flanked by shipwrecks, coral reefs, and idyllic sheltered coves, Rottnest Island is synonymous with pearly white beaches and the internationally adored quokka. WA’s favourite rock is also the perfect place for a girl’s day trip characterised by adventure, exceptional culinary experiences, and a little rest-and-relaxation in the form of island hopping.
Movie night
For something chill and cosy, it’s got to be a movie night complete with blankets, snacks, and of course, the besties. From the classics to romantic comedies and pee-yourself-funny flicks, it doesn’t get better than this.
Self-care sesh
Whether it’s cooking dinner together at home, an impromptu DIY paint and sip sesh, movie night, or setting goals and intentions for the year, a self-care sesh is hard to beat. Do we even need an excuse?
Cocktail night
Two words: cocktail night. For a healthy dose of cocktail-infused bar hopping or a re-creation of the at-home cocktail party wave that’s taking social media by storm, a night on the tools is a night well spent. Better yet, turn it into a competition where everyone shakes up their own and presents it to the group for judgement day.
Comedy show
Who doesn’t love a good belly laugh? Get the vibes high by booking tickets to a hilarious comedy show.
Bread Boy Valentine’s Day Box
For something a little more low-key, pick up one of Bread Boy’s Valentine’s Day Boxes. Featuring a selection of sweet treats including a Japanese-style strawberry, Nutella, and cream sando, choc marshmallow cookies, and vanilla cupcakes. It’s also a fabulous addition to a sunset picnic.
High tea
If you fancy an opportunity to get all dolled up, why not spend Galentine’s Day exploring Perth’s sophisticated high tea scene? Raise your pinkie for celebratory scones with jam and cream, crisp cucumber sandwiches, and dainty decorated cakes.
Games Night
Whether it’s Scrabble, Most Likely To, or Monopoly, round up the crew for an at-home games night. Wear your favourite pyjamas and bring a treat to share, it’s bound to be a damn good time.
