Why some Women Choose Galentines over Valentines. And How They Might Celebrate
Galentine’s Day events offer women a supportive alternative to Valentine’s pressures, with hosts reporting up to 45 attendees celebrating female friendships each year.
- Near February 14, women across the U.S. gather for Galentine's celebrations, staging parties, classes and retreats in homes, restaurants and retreat centers.
- Long ago, Galentine's entered pop culture after a 2010 Parks and Recreation episode where Leslie Knope gathered friends on Feb. 13, offering an empowering alternative to Valentine's pressure and loneliness.
- Hosting a Galentine’s event, organizers hire bartenders and DJs and arrange classes like cookie decorating, with 34 confirmations and gift bags being prepared.
- Organizers say shared creative activities build community and offer an escape to enjoy friendships, with Marney Wolf noting these events help participants deepen bonds and forge new friendships.
- Some hosts run annual parties that grow more elaborate each year, like Chela Pappaccioli who excludes men with rules saying `There are no men allowed unless the bartender happens to be male` and attracts divorced or married women seeking support.
