Planning Your Galentine’s Day Brunch
Getting your Galentine's Day brunch right means picking a good date, setting a fun invite tone, and choosing a dress code that matches your vibe. Let's break down how to make these simple but essential choices.
Choosing the Perfect Date
Pick a day when everyone's free and relaxed. Weekend mornings, like Saturday or Sunday, usually work best. Avoid days with significant events or work deadlines.
Send a quick group chat poll or use an app to find the date that suits most friends. Stay flexible because schedules can get wild. Consider timing, too. Late morning, around 10 or 11 AM, is perfect for brunch—not too early and not too late.
Setting the Invitation Vibe
Let your invite reflect your brunch style. Is it casual with pancakes and laughs, or fancy with mimosas and candles?
Use our party supplies and stationery. Our paper goods match any theme, from chic to quirky. Try digital invites or classic paper cards for a personal touch. Add emojis or cheeky phrases to keep it light and fun.
Galentine's Dress Code Ideas
Pick a dress code that makes everyone feel great. "Comfy chic" or "cute and casual" keeps it simple. You can also get creative with themes like "pink power" or "floral frenzy." Suggest fun accessories like funky hats or statement earrings so everyone can join in without stress. The goal is to feel relaxed and fabulous. No one needs a runway look unless that's your thing.
Decor That Screams Bestie Bash
Your Galentine's Day brunch needs decor that pops with fun and personality. Use vibrant colors, playful details, and charm to keep the vibe upbeat and cozy. Add sparkle, sass, and spots for silly selfies your friends will love.
Table Settings That Sparkle
Make your table shine with shiny plates and bold napkins. Our team offers glittery place cards, patterned plates, and matching cups. Our modern and classic designs let you match your squad's style.
Add metallic or pastel utensils for extra brightness. Toss in confetti or mini candles to make every seat feel special. Your table should look ready for a party—and maybe a few dance moves.
Floral Arrangements With Extra Sass
Skip boring bouquets. Choose flowers that say fun and fierce. Mix bright blooms like ranunculus, tulips, or peonies with greenery for a fresh look. Use clear or gold vases to let colors pop. Add quirky details like glitter-dusted leaves or cute ribbon around stems.
Photo Booths for Totally Unfiltered Memories
Set up a spot for goofy pics. Use a bold or glittery backdrop. Add props like oversized glasses, lips, or funny signs for laughs. Keep a camera or phone stand ready so no one misses the action. Catch every smile, silly pose, and maybe some dance moves. This booth is your memory machine—go wild and have fun!
Scrumptious Brunch Menu Ideas
Your Galentine's Day brunch needs foods that wow without causing a kitchen meltdown. Think sweet and savory bites plus a show-stopping board to keep everyone munching.
Sweet Treats to Woo Your Crew
Start with treats that look and taste great.
-
Mini fruit tarts, fluffy pancakes with fresh berries and whipped cream, or cinnamon rolls with icing will steal the show.
-
Set up a make-your-own yogurt parfait bar with granola, honey, and colorful fruits.
-
Everyone can customize their own. Keep things easy with pastry puffs or muffins from your local bakery.
Savory Dishes for the Soul
Serve savory dishes that feel like a hug.
Cheesy egg casseroles, crispy bacon, or a veggie-loaded frittata work well. Add simple favorites like avocado toast with chili flakes or smoked salmon with cream cheese on mini bagels.
Sprinkle herbs like dill or chives for fresh flavor. A little touch makes dishes feel special.
Brunch Boards and Their Magic
Brunch boards wow guests and keep everyone grazing. Use a big wooden board and pile on cheeses, cured meats, nuts, olives, and fresh fruit. Add crostini or crackers for crunch, plus colorful veggies like cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices—a drizzle of honey or fig jam rounds out the flavors.
Signature Drinks for Toasting Friendship
Serve drinks that say, "Cheers to us!" Whether you want bubbles or non-alcoholic sips, these options bring fun and flavor to your Galentine's brunch.
Classic Galentine's Cocktails
-
Start with a Sparkling Rosé Mimosa: rosé plus orange juice for easy, bubbly happiness. Add fresh strawberries for color and sweetness.
-
Try a Lavender Lemonade Fizz: mix vodka, lemonade, and a splash of lavender syrup. It's easy and matches any pastel tableware from My Mind's Eye.
-
For something stronger, serve a Cucumber Gin Cooler: gin, cucumber slices, lime, and soda water. For a stylish touch, use fun glasses and paper straws.
Non-Alcoholic Sips with Attitude
Not everyone wants booze.
-
Try a Citrus Mint Spritzer with orange, lime, mint, and sparkling water. It's bright and fresh.
-
A Pineapple Ginger Punch mixes pineapple juice, ginger ale, and lime for a sweet, spicy drink.
-
A Berry Hibiscus Cooler uses hibiscus tea, fresh berries, and honey. This pretty pink drink looks lovely on our paper goods.
My Mind's Eye has festive napkins and chic cups to make serving these drinks fun.

Friendship Bingo
Make a bingo card with fun facts about your group, like "Someone who's traveled to Europe" or "Friend who loves pineapple pizza." Guests mingle and find people to match the squares. Award silly prizes like glitter pens or cute sticky notes. This game is a great icebreaker and reveals fun facts about your friends.
