Galentine’s Day, a celebration we’ve seen more and more in recent years. And you know what? It’s great! The whole idea around Valentine’s Day is to spend time with the one you love. When it comes to Galentine’s Day, you get so much more love from all of your pals and what isn’t great about that?
Just like the perfect Valentine's date, your Galentine’s party could use some organization, so here are three steps to having the perfect time with all your gal pals.
This public relations process is easily transferred to a simple idea like Galentine's. Using research, strategies, planning tactics and logistics can really help take your fun event to the next level.
Step One: Planning
Girls. We plan. It’s in our nature. Which is good, because a lot goes into this step.
First, you want to figure out who’s coming and how many people you want there. This leads you into your research phase. What do your friends want to do? What do they enjoy? How can you make them feel special?
There’s really so many options. You could go have a nice dinner with a couple close friends, or you could throw a huge dance and dessert party for all the single friends in your crew. There’s also the popular option to curl up with a Rom-Com and eat way more candy than you should.
Once you decide the direction of your gathering, the next step: FOOD. Besides all of the love being shown, I think we can all agree the food options are key. It’s ultimately what everyone is thinking about.
Another question on peoples' minds: what picture they can post. These days it’s all about that Instagram post, the perfect picture with a clever caption. Think about giving your girls a good backdrop. As for the caption, go ahead and start planning the one to make all of your friends say “Yesss, best caption ever. Best night ever.”

Now that the fun night is planned, on to the next step.
Step Two: Implementation
Two big things go into this phase of Galentine’s Day, the first being making the plans happen.
You’ve got the night planned, now you need to do all of the little things to set the plans into play.
- Send out the invites. (Go with E-vites if you’re cool or a group text works)
- Cook/order the food
- Pick up a good Chick Flick or a fun game
- Hang a cute Galentine’s Day sign
Another thing to think of is the logistics of all of the plans. Be sure to plan out your day accordingly to have enough time to get everything done. It's also good to ask yourself if you want your friends to bring anything, if you need help setting up or if you've missed anything.
Now that set up is complete, it’s time for the fun. The next thing to do here is to enjoy yourself!
Step Three: Evaluation
The fun night is over and you were able to spend time with all of your best buds.
How was it? Did your friends enjoy themselves? How was the food? Along with looking at the event as a whole, you should also see how well you stuck to your plan and ask yourself if the tactics you used were the best choices.
Just take some time to soak in all the memories made. Was it fun?

A lot of people would never think to apply a professional process or idea to an everyday event or get together, but this PR process is an easy, great choice to ensure the best time!
Here's a simple recap of the three-steps used; Planning, Implementation, Evaluation. P.I.E. Pie. I think you should add pie to the dessert list for you Galentine’s Day fun.
