Create Your Perfect Galentine's Day!

What exactly is Galentine’s Day? If you aren’t familiar with the TV show Parks and Rec, you may have never heard of it! Galentine’s Day is a holiday Amy Poehler’s character Leslie Knope created on the show. This fictional holiday is now celebrated all over the world, and now that you’re reading about it, you can celebrate too!

To paraphrase Leslie: All right, you beautiful tropical fish, it’s time to grab your girls and celebrate friendship and femininity while hosting your own Galentine’s Day!

Before you get started, there are a few things to note:

You can choose any color – pink is not required! (It is a great theme to work with, however.)
Whether it’s a night in or a night out, send out an e-invite with dress code for the ladies.
Create a killer playlist by asking each girl her top 3 songs. This will ensure everyone’s genre of music is tapped into that night.

Now, you poetic and noble land-mermaids, let’s get into the details of the night!

EAT THIS:
The most important feature of the night: Food. (Obviously.)

Variety can help cater to every flavor palate. You will most likely have a lifestyle diet (gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian) among the group, and Dierbergs can make sure your friends enjoy the food as much as you do!

We suggest a good balance of health and junk food. Our Dierbergs macaroni and cheese (only 49 cents), our Dierbergs frozen pizzas (over 10 varieties), salad blend from our produce our salad bar, fresh sushi made in-house every day, and our small batch, kettle cooked soups from our deli!

*A good tip with lifestyle diets is to mark or tag the food with a label or a place card, so they know what they can eat!

DRINK UP:
When planning a themed party, like our pink Galentine’s Day, we went for everything pink! Pink lemonade, House Wine Rosé (in a can is a fun personal touch), Bai Bubbles drink, Rose Lemonade, and more! You can create fun consistency throughout with touches like these.

SNACK ON:
If you’re planning on hosting a party with apps and snacks instead of dinner, may we suggest the following?

Dierbergs Cheese Party Tray
Buddha Bowl Himalayan Salt Popcorn
Dierbergs Kitchen Baked Seafood Dip on Bruschetta Bread
Cheese Board: La Bonne Ve Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese, Dietz and Watson Genoa Salami, Red Dragon Welsh Cheddar, and Sartori Bellavitano Merlot Cheese
(Dierbergs cuts some of the cheese into smaller bites for you and your guests. This can be a cheaper option if you want to try out a new cheese.)

INDULGE IN:
“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”

You can’t do Galentine’s without the main course: Dessert. Follow our lead in collecting as many Valentine treats as you can find!

Dierbergs Euro Bakery Macarons
Chocolate cupcakes
Brach’s Conversation Hearts
Strawberry and Vanilla Campfire Cupidmallows
Snoballs
Valentine Sugar Cookies

PAMPER YOUR GIRLS WITH:
Treat yo’self with a few items you can gift your friends, or keep for yourself! Lavender candles, stress relief shower bombs, health shots, cute graphic bags from Ever Ellis, and fresh flowers to brighten up your hang-out space!

We hope you and your gals have the best time this Galentine’s Day! Feel free to #Dierbergs with a snapshot so we can enjoy the fun too!

And never forget, “We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.”
