If you haven\u2019t heard of Galentine\u2019s Day, it\u2019s essentially an unofficial holiday celebrated on February 13th (or anytime before Valentine\u2019s Day) by women and their gals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a day filled with things like rom-coms, sweet treats, and fun activities that allow you to spend time with your girlfriends and celebrate your special friendship<\/a>. Not to mention, It\u2019s the perfect excuse to host a girls-only adult slumber party<\/a> for all the nostalgic feels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, I drove out to Dallas<\/a> to have an early Galentine\u2019s Day celebration with my old college roommates. If you\u2019d like to host your very own Galentine\u2019s sleepover party, or you\u2019re attending your first one and don\u2019t know what to expect, here\u2019s our ultimate checklist for a successful girls’ night in and an even better night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What you should bring to your sleepover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pajamas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is it even a sleepover if you don\u2019t wear pajamas<\/a>? Bring out the matching sets, the pinks and reds, and the fuzzy socks that\u2019ll make you feel cute and cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pillow and blanket<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While your host typically handles sleeping arrangements and bedding, bringing your favorite blanket<\/a> and pillow<\/a> that you know will help you get a good night\u2019s sleep is totally acceptable. In fact, it\u2019s recommended so you feel comfortable sleeping in a new environment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight bag<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Makeup, next-day outfit, toiletries\u2014you know the drill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep mask<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has different sleep preferences, even your best friends! Some prefer sleeping with the light on while others don\u2019t, so bring asleep mask<\/span> so you\u2019re prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities you and the girls can do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Floral arranging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why wait for a gifted bouquet when you can make your own? Floral arranging takes some simple bouquets from the grocery store\u2014along with tissue paper, ribbon, and a little imagination\u2014and creates the cutest DIY party favor. It\u2019s also pretty relaxing to do too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision boards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While vision boards are typically made in the new year season, February is the perfect time to create one if you haven\u2019t already. A vision board is a collage of words, pictures, and symbols that showcase your 2024 goals (whether that’s to stick to a fitness routine or get better sleep) and motivate you to achieve them throughout the year. Grab your old magazines and newspapers, a board, some gluesticks, and scissors to craft the vision board of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Board games<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every sleepover needs some good ol’ board games and card games to bond and de-stress. My friend group\u2019s go-tos are UNO, Taboo, For the Girls, and Incoherent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spa night<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bring out the nail polish, face masks<\/a>, and candles<\/a> to relax, refresh, and recharge with your girls and get a good night\u2019s rest. Nothing like getting some TLC in good company!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a “for the girls”<\/strong> music playlist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every party needs music, and a Galentine\u2019s Day playlist is the perfect way to allow everyone to listen to songs they like as well as bond over the songs you know. My friends and I made this R&B playlist to fill the evening with nostalgia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
