Valentine's Day

Throw a Valentine’s Day dinner party with your girlfriends

Don’t get down if you find yourself single this V-Day; ditch the romance and invite your single gal pals over for a fun night in to celebrate your fabulous selves.

Throw a Valentine’s Day dinner party with your girlfriends

A festive Galentine's Day (the genius term coined by Parks and Rec's Lesley Knope—find her tips here) is easy to put together; pour a glass of something sparkly (like our Rosy Greyhound) and serve an easy app—our Nutty Goat Cheese Bites are a snap to prepare and they never fail to impress.

Set the table with some pretty DIY floral centerpieces and for dinner, serve up our mouth-watering Lobster Fettuccine (it doesn't have to be just for two! If lobster tails are too expensive for your party budget, use claw meat instead). Finish off the evening with our decadent (yet quick) Best-Ever Brownies.

Enjoy—and Happy Galentine's Day!
