I love Valentine’s Day but I also love celebrating the ladies in my life with Galentine’s Day. Although officially (according to Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation) Galentine’s day is February 13th, I usually invite my girlfriends over the Sunday before Valentine’s Day for a Galentine’s Brunch. It’s the perfect occasion for easy brunch food and mimosas.
Mimosa Bar
You can’t have a Galentine’s Brunch without Mimosas! Setting up a serve-yourself mimosa bar is the way to go for easy entertaining. I usually place it away from the food in an easy to access place. I use an ice bucket to keep the bubbly cold and along with glasses, juices, and garnishes. You can place juices in their own carafes or set out juices that are similar in size and brand to keep things cohesive. Berries were set out along with tongs to garnish and muddler if guests really want to mix the fruit into their drinks. You can also add cute napkins and drink markers or charms so guests can keep track of which glass is theirs.
Pink Tablescape
Pink is my FAVORITE color, so I love that Galentine’s brunch is an excuse to pull out all the pink. A white tablecloth makes a clean backdrop for a simple table. These pink cotton placemats and pitchers were from Ikea. They no longer have them but you can find similar ones elsewhere. Simple white napkins and plates keep the pink from being overwhelming. For a centerpiece, I kept it really simply buying a few bouquets of white and blush pink tulips scattered in various bud glasses.
