I got the idea of Galentine's Day from the show Parks and Recreation. I am a huge Amy Poehler fan and if you watch the show you know her character is so hilarious, driven to succeed, and loves her girlfriends! They throw a Galentine's day party on February 13th to celebrate and appreciate their ladyhood and friendships. The first time I saw it I knew I needed a Galentine's Day party one day. :)

This shoot was a really sweet and fun representation of how meaningful and long-lasting your friendships are. Some of the greatest loves of your life are with your besties. :) 

Do you watch the show? If not the first Galentine's Day episode is Season 2, episode 16. Check it out! 

Happy Galentine's Day!
