Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance. It can be just as special for friends. Having a Galentine’s Day sleepover with your friends can be a fun way to celebrate the holiday and show your love for the people around you.
Here is the only guide that you’ll need on how to host the ultimate Galentine’s Day sleepover.
Invitations
What better way to get everyone excited than by sending out invitations? Make digital or physical invitations, whichever one appeals to you. If you want to make digital ones, Canva has many great templates you can use and customize to make your own. Include the theme (Galentine’s Day), the time and date, the place, and any special instructions like what to wear or anything your guests need to bring.
The Vibe
Transforming your space is an important step. Make it cozy and inviting. Reds, pinks, and white are Valentine’s Day classics, but you can experiment with other colors. Lights are an easy way to instantly make a space cozy. White lights are great, but on-theme lights that use color or hearts are extra cute. You can get festive decorations like heart-shaped balloons, confetti, and wall hangings on a budget from the dollar store or create your own! A photo booth where everyone can take pictures is a great addition to any party. Add props such as hats, sunglasses, and cute signs.
Delicious Treats

No sleepover is complete without yummy treats and snacks. There are so many ways to theme snacks for Galentine’s Day. Heart-shaped cookies, cakes, or even mini pizzas are so fun. For guest participation and less setup, create a DIY dessert bar, with cupcakes, ice cream, or waffles to decorate with toppings and eat. If you plan to watch a movie, a DIY popcorn station is a great idea, you can include different seasonings and candies (in red and pink!) so everyone can customize their own.
Activities
Fun activities will keep the energy up through the night and create fun memories. DIY crafts are a must-have. Try making friendship bracelets, painting canvases, or pottery.
You can never go wrong with games such as Truth or Dare, Valentine’s Day-themed trivia, or karaoke. A movie night is a fun and relaxing option. Make a list of movies to watch like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Legally Blonde.
