No, you heard correctly - it’s Galentine’s, not Valentine’s! Wanting to get a better idea of what Galentine’s Day actually is, and the best way to celebrate it? We’ve put an article together to help with just that! Make sure you shower your best gal pals with love this Galentine’s Day with our helpful tips and suggestions.
What is Galentine’s Day?
Galentine’s Day embodies all things friendship and solidarity. It’s about rounding up your best pals to celebrate each other and spending quality time together. Who said romantic love should be the only kind we acknowledge? Platonic love and friendships are just as valuable and can be, if not more, meaningful.
Whether you’ve got a special someone or are blissfully solo in February, Galetine’s Day deserves just as much love as it’s older sister, Valentine’s Day.
What Day is Galentine’s Day?
Although Galentine’s Day is technically a fake holiday, it falls on the 13th of February each year.
Galentine’s Day came to fruition by none other than beloved fictional character, Leslie Knope off the television series, Parks and Recreation. Although others may have used the term prior to the series, this unofficial name has stuck and been used by many to gather with friends and celebrate their platonic relationships.
Who Celebrates Galentine’s Day?
Despite the name stipulating ‘gal’, it is by no means exclusive to any gender or relationship status. Everyone is encouraged to celebrate Galentine’s Day regardless of whether you’re coupled up or not!
