What is Galentine’s Day and Why Have a Galentine’s Day Brunch?
Celebrated every February 13th, Galentine’s Day is (according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary,) a “day for women to celebrate their friendships with their lady friends.”
Galentine’s Day was created by Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation – a fictional main character played by Amy Poehler. The character invented the holiday as a tribute to her close girlfriends.
From having a Galentine’s Day brunch or an honorary themed party for a great friend to selecting thoughtful Galentine’s Day gifts to exchange – celebrating Galentine’s Day is the best way to honor lasting and loyal friendships.
Although Galentine’s Day takes place the day before a very romantic holiday, Valentine’s Day – this tradition is for both single gals and those in a relationship – all to celebrate girl power and enjoy all your favorite things as gal pals while cultivating female friendships.
Why Throw a Galentine’s Event at Your Home?
There is no better way to celebrate friendship than by throwing a fabulous get-together at home with your girlfriends.
Galentine’s Day is the perfect time to enjoy a breakfast style themed party or even a fancy dinner.
Either way, there is no better time than Galentine’s Day to spend with your gal pals.
In addition, a Galentine’s Day party is the perfect way to catch up, bond, and have fun. Relaxing in the comfort of your home and having so much fun with friends is a perfect way to celebrate.
If you are ready to say “Happy Galentine’s Day” as your besties walk in your front door – then keep reading for some fun and creative Galentine’s Day party ideas and a home coffee bar set to please all the coffee-loving gal pals.
Keep in mind – the best part is spending time together as friends.
What is the Best Idea for a Galentine’s Day Brunch Drink?
If you are anything like me, you love a good brunch party. Why not make the focal point of your Galentine’s Day brunch a coffee station stocked for your girls?
Coffee is the perfect complement to any brunch and having a DIY coffee bar is sure to please.
What Should I Stock My DIY Coffee Bar With?
If your Galentines love a good cup of coffee, then this is the perfect coffee bar idea for them!
To find a delicious coffee – with a very unique and intriguing name – I checked out Death Wish Coffee.
Saving a trip to the local coffee shop, Death Wish Coffee delivers a smooth and delicious cup of coffee at home making it perfect for a coffee bar brunch at home.
Founded in 2012, by Mike Brown, Death Wish Coffee has grown in popularity over the years and is found at big box retailers and all over the country and is available to order easily on their website.
According to Death Wish Coffee’s website: “We lead with an alternative point of view, providing bold, smooth cups of coffee to our people. We find fresh ways to enjoy coffee, and we foster community along the way. Disrupting the status quo interests us, so we create edgy, sarcastic content. We live to rebel against blah beans—and a boring, lackluster life.”
Whether you want to serve your coffee to your Galentines with pods or make a full pot, Death Wish Coffee offers both selections.
I sampled the Death Wish Coffee Medium Roast pods and really enjoyed the smooth flavor featured.
Although I typically don’t enjoy a strong cup of coffee, I found this choice to be pleasantly strong enough without overpowering.
This makes it a perfect choice to serve at a Galentine’s Day brunch.
You can also add different options of Death Wish Coffee to your coffee bar for those with coffee preferences like:
Check out their website for more information on current roasts and to purchase gift cards or other fabulous merchandise.
What Are Other Best Galentine’s Day Ideas for My DIY Coffee Bar?
Once the Death Wish Coffee is set out you’ll want to add just a few more creative ideas to your Galentine’s Day coffee bar.
Be sure to add things like:
- Coffee mugs
- A chocolate bar (for toppings)
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Coffee stirrers
- Utensil holders
- Carmel drizzle
- Flavored coffee syrup
You can also add some flair to the coffee bar with some home decor inspired designs like fresh flowers or some cake stands with goodies on top.
Perhaps leave a box of chocolate around for your friends to enjoy. You could also add some small bites or some cranberry juice or grapefruit juice to complement the Death Wish Coffee, too.

What Else Do I Need to Do for Galentine’s Day with the Girls?
With the delicious coffee brewed and a coffee bar looking like a masterpiece from social media or Pinterest – sit back and relax with your Galentines.
You could do some crafts, adorn some face masks, have some fresh fruit, or indulge in red velvet pancakes – but no matter what you decide have fun together.
One final touch you can add is some great background music and a photo booth to commemorate the great Galentine’s Day coffee brunch.

This sounds freaking awesome! Who does love friends/family and a good cup of coffee?! Plus I’ve been DYING (no pun intended, lol!) to try this brand. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, plus the ladies in my family were needing a good excuse to get together one day! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll pass this along to my mom!
Hi Whitney!

This Sunday I am having a Galentine’s Tea Party (I don’t drink coffee and hosting tea parties has been on my bucket list for ages, but with COVID, it put a wrench in that. We cancelled our vacation this January because of our ailing dog, so I opted to host this party instead!) I’m really looking forward to it, and will be sharing pictures on instagram!
Hi Julie!
I hope your Galentine’s Tea Party is a success. I also hope your dog is feeling better.
