February 13 - National Galentine's Day


Happy National Galentine's Day! On February 13th, this day brings women together to celebrate each other every year the day before Valentine’s day. 

Women all have that one friend who cheers on her female companions. She is their best supporter, listener, and companion. No matter what, she has your back. She’s the lady who celebrates ladies. This day is the kind of day a woman like that would throw a party, and she should. 

The festivities include women of all walks of life, kicking back, and enjoying being women! Celebrating successes and overcoming failure, the day brings women, ladies, and girls together for a good old-fashioned session to drink, eat, talk, and celebrate each other. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Invite the women you know to celebrate the day in all their glory. Bring their favorite wine, beer, cocktails, and mocktails. Snacks, dips, chips, and appetizers of all kinds welcome. Turn up the music, dance, and groove the day and night away.  

Give each other a pep talk, TED talks or have a venting session. Whatever works for you. Do makeovers. Or get dressed up and go out for the night. Book a cruise and take off for the weekend. No matter your style, do it your lady’s way. But be sure to use #GalentinesDay to share it all on social media. 

On February 11, 2010, NBC's American political satire sitcom television series Parks and Recreation (2009–2015) aired an episode where Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) threw an annual Galentine’s Day party for her girlfriends (S02E16).

When asked what Galentine’s Day was, Leslie replied “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home and we just come and kick it breakfast style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus fritattas.”  

Gradually, the idea of National Galentine’s Day parties has taken off. By 2017, several national businesses began promoting the celebration, and it began to trend.
