Hosting the Perfect Galentine’s Brunch

Ah, Galentine’s. It felt kind of like Christmas for all of my gals. Getting together, gifting silly/cute little presents and downing mimosas. It was pretty much a repeat a few months later 😉

Since celebrating one year as a homeowner, I was ready to host friends. I finally feel like (aside from my bathroom) my house is welcoming! Last Sunday, I put together the perfect Galentine’s Brunch.

I started planning in late December, wanting to send invites before our family hiking trip (recap here). I made my invites on a design program I have and utilized free heart elements I had downloaded from Creative Market. If you haven’t checked out their weekly freebies – I highly recommend it!

I sent the invites out exactly one month before and requested an RSVP date of a week before, giving me time to plan for the amount of food I’d need. I love how they turned out!

Next, I obviously made a Pinterest Board. I found tons of inspiration for my valentines (I requested on the invite to bring 20 valentines for all the gals – easy activity) and for my decor.

Although I headed to Hobby Lobby for plates and cutlery, I snagged a cute banner from Target and used decor I had at home to save money (have you been following my Frugal February so far?).

I had two sections, which prevented all 15 gals from being cluttered – one for food and one for drinks!

I served:

  • Waffle Bar – complete with toppings of raspberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and syrup
  • Fruit Trifle – I made this up. I did layers of fruit, granola, and vanilla low-fat yogurt
  • Egg and Sausage Casserole
  • Donuts (super easy!)

We drank:

  • Orange or Grapefruit Mimosas with blood oranges inside out of cute, heart-shaped straws
  • Bloody Marys with pickles, olives, limes, cheese, and Tabasco Sauce

We exchanged our valentines and chatted for a few hours. These were the valentines I made.

I think it was the easiest event I’ve planned thus far! Brunch is so simple, yet so much fun! Are you hosting a Galentine’s Brunch or Party? I’d love to see your decor!

  • Another post from me today, say what?! I had to share that @mapiful is running their BIGGEST sale of the year - 20% off everything! I’ve had so much fun partnering to design my #Chicago and #Lincoln prints. I love this little corner of my office. I’m thankful it’s inviting, especially after a long holiday weekend! I added a link in my bio to their site! #mapifulfamily #collab #officedecor #homeoffice #chicagoprint #chicagodecor #nebraskablogger #wayfair #workfromhome #workfromhomelife
  • Keeping date nights going during this pandemic has been interesting, especially when your bf is a nurse! Last night we enjoyed dinner at Leadbelly (seriously, SO COVID-friendly & the same owners as my fave place Toast in #LNK) and the Season of Lights in Turner Park at @midtowncrossing! Thank you so much for having us, Midtown! It was a much needed little getaway into Omaha, followed by driving around and seeing more lights. We loved: -132nd & Larimore, which has a few houses set up to radio stations -132nd & Hamilton - Linden Estates Area - which blew me away
  • Two months ago, I tested positive for COVID-19 and during that quarantine period I did a whooooleeee lot of binge-watching. Whether you’re in my situation or you’re just quarantining before you see family for the holidays, I put together an important guide on the blog: Everything I watched in quarantine, ranked from worst-best. #quarantinewatchlist #whattowatch #nebraskablogger
  • 200!! Happy to kick off 2021 with a big @onepeloton milestone! I’ve been loving the #bikethatgoesnowhere for almost 2 years and finally hit this goal. Big thanks to @robinnyc for the back-to-back rides today! I’ve never stuck with a fitness program this long and could go on and on about Peloton. If you’re on the fence, GO FOR IT! I’m sharing my favorite rides and recommendations after completing 200 on the blog today. TOGETHER WE GO FAR! #onepeloton #peloton #pelotonbike #pelotonnebraska #nebraskablogger #pelotoncycle #pelotoncommunity #sweatwithswagger #homegym #togetherwegofar #cycling
  • If you watched my stories, you may have seen my GIANT #monstera! I decided to propagate it on Monday after finding this perfect rattan-looking ceramic planter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my first year with any houseplants that aren’t succulents so I googled a ton of blog posts about how to propagate. Today (after waiting 3 days) I swapped the water out for new and placed the cutting next to the current plant on a little table. I’m hoping this works and it grows roots/thrives in a few weeks. Please send me ALLLL your houseplant tips! So far I only do these
