Galentine’s Day

Two years ago I started a fun tradition of throwing a Galentine’s Day party.  It is a fun way to get my girlfriends together and catch up.  This year I did a paint party!  It was too much fun and super easy.

Here is all you need.

1. Drink Laugh Paint: How to Host a Painting Party c/o – This kit has a super easy to follow instruction book and invites (I saved these for another time and used Valentine theme cards).
2. Paint
3. Brushes
4. Canvas— We used watercolor paper since we were all first-timers.
5. Water cups and napkins — I got everything above from Target in the kids aisle.

I covered the table with a cheap tablecloth and paper napkins to protect the table.  The heart runner (was not cheap) was from Pottery Barn and got super stained at a different event so I used it for this party.  We did the Eiffel Tower painting; it felt so romantic and dreamy. I put on some Paris Cafe music to give a bit of background.  Ordered some treats from the Paris Cafe in Monterey and some of my favorite chocolates from Lulas!  I also grabbed a bunch of roses from my local Whole Foods, some candles, and some Valentines’ Day decor.  I grabbed most of it from the dollar aisle at Target!  It was so simple.

  I would show my picture but it looks like a 2-year-old did it!

I created a signature drink.  Just a simple Watermelon Fizz.

In a large pitcher combine 1 cup Kohr Vodka c/o and 4 bottles of Watermelon Fizz.  Chill in fridge until the party.  I froze watermelon cubes on toothpicks to use as ice.  These were a hit!  You can sub the watermelon for something sweeter like strawberries.  I was going to do lavender but I have two friends who hate all things lavender.

I had sparkling water!

It was such a fun afternoon and we can’t wait to do it again next year.
