Female friendships are so special. My vision board for the year is filled with images of dinner parties, wine glasses clinking and shared hugs between friends. I’m entering my hostess era, mainly because I want to nurture my relationships and prioritize connecting with my friends. Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate the friendships you hold so dear to your heart, and it’s quickly approaching! In need of some Galentines party menu ideas? We’ve got you covered.

If you have plans to gather with the girls this February, or perhaps you’re not sure where to begin, read on for five Galentine’s menu ideas. I love a theme, so each party idea revolves around a concept that will make your gathering just a little more special and fun. This will create memories for you and your besties, with easy recipes to feed a group, both big and small.

Pajamas and Prosecco

Galentines and brunch just make sense. And a party where the dress code is pajamas? Sign me up! Being cozy with your girls is the name of the game for this gathering, and bubbly prosecco elevates the vibe in a fun, fancy way.

Sheela Prakash’s honeyed prosecco is a must for this party. It’s a simple way to upgrade your bubbles and is sure to impress. Keep the food simple and not fussy—a yogurt and granola breakfast board is perfect for grazing throughout your party. If you wanted something a little more substantial, a BLT brunch frittata is perfect for feeding a crowd and serves four. Have more than four guests? This asparagus frittata with goat cheese and veggies serves eight!

You also can’t have brunch without something sweet (at least in my opinion!) like a walnut cream cheese coffee cake. To play on the prosecco theme, you could also make pear and prosecco sorbet for a sweet and refreshing ending.

Honeyed Prosecco

From Sheela Prakash’s new cookbook, this is a fun and fancy cocktail that is essential for a PJ’s and Prosecco party!

Yogurt & Granola Breakfast Grazing Board

A colorful spread of fruit, honey, and herbs.

BLT Brunch Frittata

A frittata is every savvy hostess’s secret weapon when it comes to serving brunch to a crowd, and is perfect for your Galentine’s Day PJ’s and Prosecco party!

Asparagus, Potato, & Goat Cheese Frittata

Depending on how large your gathering is, you can make one or both of these frittata’s. This one is vegetarian friendly and totally delicious.

Walnut Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Do you and your girls a favor and whip up this coffee cake for a little something sweet to go with your frittata and breakfast board.

Pear and Prosecco Sorbet

A prosecco dessert? Say less!

Cozy Soup Soiree

So let’s be real, a Galentine’s Day party could be a bright spot in the middle of dreary February. This is an opportunity to embrace cozy season before it’s gone, and nothing is cozier than soup. I’ve seen soup parties on social media where everyone brings their own so there’s a variety of soups to choose from—cute! But even if you don’t do pot luck, a pot of soup and a side of crusty bread is simple, comforting and nourishing. You could make Danielle Walker’s turkey chili verde with tortilla chips or cornbread on the side. Or go Mexican with chicken tortilla soup and guacamole. Camille has tons of soup recipes on the site, like Greek lemon chicken soup, tortellini soup and Zuppa toscana soup. They’re all cozy and delicious!

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Comfort food with a spicy kick! The girls are gonna love it.

Guacamole

Simple, straight forward and delicious. This is truly the only guacamole recipe you need, and it’s perfectly paired with chicken tortilla soup. And tortilla chips, naturally.

Turkey Chili Verde

Pair with tortilla chips or cornbread!

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

The brightness of the lemons will perk up the girls and remind them that spring is coming, while the coziness of the broth will keep them planted in February. It’s the best of both worlds, really.

Tortellini Soup

A spoonful of comfort. Sign me up for any soup that features cheese filled pasta.

Zuppa Toscana Soup

A little lighter than the original—and every bit as delish. Perfect with crusty bread!

Love You To Pizzas Party

Having your girls make their own heart-shaped pizzas is what my dreams are made of. A galentine’s day pizza party would be so fun! Welcome the girls with a glass of pomegranate punch and have an Italian dinner party playlist going. While it would be easy to just order pizza in, Camille swears by homemade crust and grilling with your friends. If you assign tasks like preparing toppings, brushing the dough with oil and grilling—it will be an experience everyone will remember and cherish!

As far as toppings, of course you can do classic cheese and pepperoni. But if you really want to impress the girls? Try Camille’s fig, prosciutto and carmelized onion pizza or bacon, apple and sweet potato pizza. A side salad is always great with pizza, and this shaved brussels sprout salad is a winner. To stick with an Italian theme pizza party, have cookie tiramisu for dessert. Yum!

Camille’s Pomegranate Punch

There’s nothing lovelier than being handed a drink as soon as you walk into a party. This pomegranate punch is also an appropriate hue—the deep reddish purple makes it a quintessential galentine’s drink!

Fig, Prosciutto, & Caramelized Onion Pizza

Fancy pizza for fancy gals.

Bacon, Apple, & Sweet Potato Pizza

It’s the crispy sage that does it for me. This flavor combo is to die for!

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

It’s the crunchy, sweet, & zesty salad you’ll crave. It’s an essential side for your pizza party!

Cookie Tiramisù

This twist on a classic adds chocolate chip cookies. Yum! A perfect way to end a pizza party.

Spill The Tea Party

I recently went to an estate sale to browse a huge collection of vintage teacups and saucers. I was totally inspired to host an afternoon tea party for the girls! A tea party is a fantastic option if you prefer a no-cook menu. Throwing this together couldn’t be simpler. Have a variety of different tea available and lay a spread of finger foods out on a table. Easy peasy!

Toasts like herbed goat cheese and radish tartines and avocado toast with kale pesto are perfect for afternoon tea, or you could even do smoked salmon flatbread. Tea and scones are made for each other, and you truly can’t go wrong with these orange and chocolate chip scones. If you’d like to end your tea party with cake (and who doesn’t?), this strawberry olive oil cake is festive and galentine’s approved. It’s described as being like if a coffee cake and strawberry shortcake had a baby—aka perfection.

Herbed Goat Cheese & Radish Tartines

This goat cheese and radish tartine is like an elevated cucumber sandwich—a tea party essential!

Avocado Toast With Kale Pesto & Crunchy Veggies

This avocado toast is so simple and delicious, you and the girls will want to make it everyday for breakfast.

Everything Bagel Smoked Salmon Flatbread With Lemony Cream Cheese

The brunch classic has leveled up. Yum!

Orange & Chocolate Chip Scones

Tea and scones are a match made in heaven.

Strawberry Crumble Cake

The strawberries understand the galentine’s day party dress code, amirite?

Galentine’s Girls Night In

To round out the galentine’s party menu ideas, we’ll keep it simple. You know the feeling of cozying up in a robe at a hotel, ordering room service and staying in with a glass of wine and a face mask? These are totally the vibes of a galentine’s girls night in party. Give your living room a hotel-inspired makeover by placing cocktails on a silver serving tray and playing jazz to set the mood. How fun!

A lillet spritz is a great cocktail of choice. It’s light, refreshing and perfect for girls night. Have a killer charcuterie board set out, and serve family style pesto chicken cobb salad. It’s hearty enough to serve as your main! Don face masks, throw on fuzzy slippers and invite the girls to dive into cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookies once dinner is over. This fun dessert serves 12! Sip on cocktails and have juicy convos into the night, or watch a favorite rom com on the couch to end the evening. Bonus points for throwing a sleepover!
