Might you have a VIRTUAL Galentines Bash?

 Last year I had a Galentines Day party for many girlfriends that was so much fun!  We had 22 ladies join the fun!


Personal stories were told by everyone.  We had prizes for who had been married the longest, who had been divorced the most times, who was single. The prizes were fun gifts such as the Stinky Divorced Husband candle and pampering gifts!

 Everyone got a take home cupids gift or two...

 


  
Last year the food was sort of marvelous!  


The kitchen/family room was casually themed with foods to match. Pomegranate Punch accompanied charcuterie boards. 
We had brunch foods with mini omelets and pastries. Chocolate scones in heart shapes were popular, raspberry jam was served alongside.
Red cookies and various chocolate treats were for everyone to nosh on. Red, white and black accessories were used on this buffet.

 

The dining room was more formal with crystal, rose gold, pink and ivory foods and decor.  The centerpiece was a lovely floral with Hydrangeas in a vintage wire milk bottle container with moss and greenery.   I was able to get out my vintage table cloths and vintage pink serving dishes.  




Mini desserts included parfaits


A pink mix of white chocolate, popcorn and candies was yummy. We had pink cream cheese pecan fudge.  Angel food cherry cupcakes with marshmallow frosting was a favorite!


There was Pink Cosmos in a crystal decanter.  
With lots of Raspberry Proseco to go around.

The patio was festive with pink floral linens and pink and gold paper lanterns.   Tables were set up in the yard with umbrellas.

This year will be a virtual party.  Maybe we can ZOOM.  I will deliver goodie bags to the front doors of Galentine Friends, filled with treats and little gifts.  Handmade cards will be included.
If you have any great ideas for placing items into this year's goodie bags, leave me a comment. After I fill the bags I will photograph them and will credit you by name with your ideas! I will also list some free
Valentine collages for you to use in your cards and artwork.  We will draw names for Cupid gifts!

ZEN for me.

I chose to recycle a canvas box frame for my project.  I got this after Fall/Christmas for clearance at 90% off, so it was ninety cents!   Y...
