她說：“我們鼓勵人們和他們的朋友一起去綠色房間裡的香檳和無酒精雞尾酒。”

The last Galentine’s Day celebration featured little welcome gifts like heart-shaped sunglasses. Skewers with strawberries topped heart-shaped champagne flutes, while rings with purple and red hearts that Schoneman calls “a last-minute low-budget dollar store find” helped to identify drinks.

“如果您計劃情人節或加倫丁的聚會，您可以有一個歡迎的香檳吐司和裝飾，其中包括背景來拍照，”施托菲爾德（Schonefeld）剪下了彩色薄紙，看起來像是邊緣的背景。

“Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day is the best reason to do anything girlie and really celebrate the holiday for what it is about and just embrace it,” she adds. “Have fun with pretty flowers. Get the pinks and purples and reds and make gifts like mini bouquets with a simple rose wrapped in tulle with a bow that looks like a little rose ballerina. It can be a little token and you can keep it low budget. Hit up your dollar spots. It’s about keeping it fun with your girlfriends. It’s just a fun day that looks rich.”

她補充說：“情人節或蓋倫丁節是做任何姑娘，並真正慶祝假期的最佳理由，只是擁抱它。” “玩漂亮的花朵玩得開心。獲取粉紅色，紫色和紅色，並製作禮物，例如迷你花束，用簡單的玫瑰在薄紗中包裹著蝴蝶結，看起來像玫瑰花般的小芭蕾舞演員。它可能有點令牌，您可以保持預算較低。敲打您的美元景點。這是要與女友保持樂趣。這只是一個有趣的一天，看起來很豐富。”

That way you have a really good array to choose from,” Shapiro-Warneck says. “It’s all about communal eating with grazing tables and strolling and trying something new. You can have a Manchego, an aged cheddar and brie.”

火鍋派對適合這一場合。

“You can have savory and sweet and you can use premade or make your own creamy cheese and chocolate with berries and breads,” says Shapiro-Warneck, who also mentions a wintery theme like a ski lodge with soft pretzels and roasted potatoes that go well with fondues. “Going out to dinner is fun, but you can make some really special memories at home and you can even do fondue for two.”
