Valentine’s Day is coming up, and while you may have a special someone to celebrate with, don’t forget the other loved ones in your life, your friends!
Female friendships are so important, and if you and your squad love country music, we have put together the ideal Country Galentine’s Day party to celebrate those girlies around you!
Below is a list of drinks, food, entertainment, activities, and overall inspiration for your girls’ night!
Drinks :
“The Cloud 9” – Meg Morroney-inspired drink
(Cocktail and Mocktail)
1oz Vodka
½ oz Lime Juice
½ Cranberry Juice
⅓ oz Coconut Rum
6 oz Lemonade
(To make this alcohol-free, hold the coconut rum and Vodka and add another fruit juice or bubbly soda instead!)
4X4XU – Lainey Willson-inspired drink
2 oz coconut rum
1oz Pineapple Juice
1oz Cranberry Juice
1oz Orange Juice
Splash of grenadine
Food :
“Heartfirst” Pizzas – Inspired by Kelsea Ballerini
To make:
Using homemade or store-bought dough, roll it into a ball and flatten it into a circle. Pinch the bottom half and gently pull it downward. Create a divot at the top, then pull that into the center.
Then add a base of tomato sauce and your preferred toppings. Cook for 9 minutes at 450°F, and enjoy your “Heartfirst” Kelsea-inspired pizza!
Entertainment :
Every good party needs a soundtrack, and we’ve got you covered with this Spotify playlist. It’s filled with all our fave country girlies to create the ultimate country bestie mix! Listen HERE!
Songs include:
If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too) – Kelsea Ballerini
The Girls – Megan Moroney
I’m Only Me When I’m With You – Taylor Swift
Man! I Feel Like A Woman! – Shania Twain
Goodbye Earl – The Chicks
(50 + more songs listed in our Spotify playlist!)
As well as music, movies are a very crucial part of a girl’s night!
Here are some of our faves! <3
Valentine’s Day (2010)
This ensemble comedy is a classic Valentine’s Day watch and a perfect one to watch with your friends. This movie features Fearless-era Taylor Swift with her song “Today Was a Fairytale,” which is always such a throwback.
Monte Carlo (2011)
This film is rooted in female friendships and finding yourself along the way. When a group of friends from a small Texas town (Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy) travel to Paris after graduation, they find themselves on a European adventure. Such a great movie, filled with an amazing soundtrack.
Crossroads (2002)
Another film about friendship, this one stars Britney Spears, Zoe Saldaña, and Taryn Manning as they travel cross-country to chase dreams and take risks. The perfect movie to watch with your besties!
Activities
Atta Girl Vision Boards
As Lainey Wilson sang on her 2022 album Bell Bottom Country, “you’re looking at a girl who’s got a damn good heart and some big dreams up ahead.” Galentine’s is the perfect time for you and all your friends to visualize those big dreams you have and celebrate where you are and where you are going! “Go and get it now, atta girl!”
Denim & Rhinestones Upcycling
Like Carrie Underwood said, “we go together like denim and rhinestones,” and instead of throwing out an old pair of jeans or not wearing a certain pair again, what about upcycling and upstyling them? Denim is a classic fashion staple, and whether it’s a denim shirt, jacket, skirt, or jeans, you and your friends can add some sparkle to your fave denim piece. If you don’t have anything you’d want to bedazzle, the thrift store would have great budget-friendly selections! “Like a classic jean jacket, sparkle on the back, gotta have it.”
Let Go Letters
Inspired by Avery Anna, this activity is perfect for letting go of everything that doesn’t serve you. Being surrounded by your besties is always a safe space to share what is on your mind, and part of the healing process and bettering yourself is acknowledging the energy you don’t need or want anymore. Goodbye, Earl!
We hope you have the best Galentine’s party with your girlies! If you take any inspiration from this article, make sure to tag us on social media! We would love to see it!
Stay Wild, Stay Celebrating, Stay Country
