As February approaches, love is in the air, and that means Valentine’s Day activities are just around the corner! If you’re still wondering how to celebrate, don’t worry — we’ve rounded up some of the top trends and fun ideas to help you and your friends make the most of this season of love.
Galentine’s Night: The Trend You Need to Try
If you haven’t heard of Galentine’s Day, it’s the perfect excuse to gather your favorite people and celebrate friendship. A popular trend this year is the “Bring a Board Night,” made famous on TikTok. The idea is simple: everyone brings a charcuterie board with whatever foods they like. From classic Italian spreads to Chick-fil-A-themed boards, the options are endless — even a Shirley Temple board has become a hit. This activity combines food, fun, and creativity in the best way possible!
Other great ideas for a Galentine’s night include a Valentine’s-themed pajama party. Just add some festive decorations, easy-to-make sweets, and invite everyone to come in their favorite heart-patterned or pink PJs. Where you can spend the night watching rom-coms with your closest friends until you drift off to sleep.
If you’re in the mood for something a bit more sport-inspired, consider hosting a Game-Themed Snack Night. Have everyone bring their favorite game-day snacks (think wings, pigs in a blanket, or pink chocolate covered pretzels) and watch a couple of sports games together while hanging out in a pink, Valentines-inspired setup.
Daytime Activities: Short on Time No Worries!
If a full evening of festivities isn’t what you’re looking for, there are plenty of fun daytime activities to get into the spirit of the season. Why not make custom keychains with your friends? Gather some charms and chains, and create personalized keychains that you can attach to your keys or wallets. It’s a fun, crafty way to make something special and lasting. (For pretty cheap too.)
If you’re feeling artsy, grab some friends and head over to The Fire in Appleton, where you can pick out a ceramic piece and spend time painting it. Prices range from $10 to $35 depending on the piece, and it’s a relaxing way to spend a few hours while making a unique, handmade gift or decoration.
For a deliciously fun option, host a DIY Heart-Shaped Pizza Night with your friends. Have everyone pitch in for toppings and make your own heart-shaped pizzas! It’s the perfect combination of creativity and good food.
Celebrate Love in Every Way
Whether you’re celebrating with friends, family, or just taking the time for yourself, there’s no shortage of fun activities this February. Valentine’s Day is all about love and connection, and there’s no better way to embrace the spirit than by making memories with those you care about.
So, gather your people, get creative, and enjoy all the love-filled moments February has to offer!
