GALENTINE’S DAY IDEAS: HOSTING THE ULTIMATE GALENTINE’S EVENT
During all the fuss around Valentine's Day, it's important not to forget our BFFs. Galentine's Day (13th February) is a day dedicated to celebrating, empowering and appreciating the women who are always there for us, who make us laugh, and generally make life a little sweeter. It's also a day to have some fun together. Whether you're planning a cosy night in or an elegant soirée, we've got everything you need to celebrate in style - from Galentine’s event ideas to outfit inspiration and thoughtful gifts.
PLANNING THE PERFECT GALENTINE’S EVENT
Whether you're going for cosy vibes or something a bit more glam, here's how to make sure your event is unforgettable:
Set the Mood
To get everyone in the spirit, create an atmosphere that's warm and inviting using fairy lights, candles, and a colour palette full of feminine tones—think soft pinks, reds, and whites.
Pick a Theme
Themes make everything more fun! How about a "Movie Night in Luxurious Nightwear" for a laid-back vibe or a "Spa Night" for ultimate relaxation? Boux Avenue's modal pyjamas or satin nightwear sets are perfect for combining cute, cosy and chic. The playful Heart Modal Short Pyjama Set in red is the perfect addition to you and your BFFs wardrobes - so you can have a total matching moment.
Decorate
It's the little things that make a big impact - simple DIY decorations like heart garlands, personalised name cards or even a DIY photo booth. Keep the colour palette cohesive with your theme for a polished look.
GALENTINE ACTIVITY IDEAS TO KEEP THINGS FUN
DIY Stations
Who doesn't love a little hands-on fun? Set up DIY stations where you can make bath bombs, get creative with pottery or painting. Turn it into a paint-and-sip session with refreshing smoothies, bubble teas, or a rich hot chocolate. This is such a fun way to bond, get crafty, and leave with a cute keepsake from the night.
Self-Care Session
Everyone deserves a little pampering now and then. Why not bring the spa to you and grab all the essentials, from at-home facials, to manis and pedis. Really get into the R&R mood, with everyone slipping into luxury robes and cosy socks or slippers for the ultimate night in.
Cook Together
They say that food is the key to the heart. Whether it's making your own pizzas, fakeaways, or trying a fancy recipe that you've saved from TikTok and always wanted to try - why not take over the kitchen as a team? You could put together a tasty cheese board to snack on while catching up. And, of course, make sure there's dessert for afters.
BOUX AVENUE OUTFIT IDEAS FOR GALENTINE’S DAY
From pyjama sets to daring lingerie-inspired looks, we've got all the style inspiration you need.
Stylish Nightwear
For a laid-back yet stylish vibe, nothing beats a chic matching pyjama set. The Striped Satin Short Pyjama Set is an absolute must-have. The girly pink hue and contrasting red ric rac trim make it the perfect choice for a sweet and super stylish Galentine's attire that can perfectly match back to your decor. If you want to add a bit of fun to the mix, the Cherry Stripe Modal Pyjama Set is both playful and super comfortable, with an adorable cherry print that'll put a smile on your face all night long. For a touch of luxury, the Amelia Heart Satin Cami Set in red detailed with a beautiful white heart print is the ultimate in elegance. This set is perfect for those who want to look stylish while staying comfy.
Lingerie-Inspired Looks
If you're feeling a bit daring, why not try layering a lingerie-inspired piece? The Nova Lace Body is perfect for making a statement, and when paired with your favourite trousers, or skirt it creates a look that's empowering, sexy, and bold.
For something that's a little more low-key, the Cherry Embroidered Seamless Bralette in pink and matching thong is the perfect set for the ultimate cosy, yet cute look. Layer it under your nightwear or pair the bralette with your favourite pyjama trousers for a laid-back day of self-care with your BFFs.
