How to Throw a Pink Galentine’s Brunch

Celebrate your gals by hosting a Galentine's Brunch with a mimosa bar.

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.

Make Ahead Brunch Menu

Previously, I posted the decorations from the Galentine’s Day brunch I hosted to celebrate lady friendships. Today I want to share with you the easy make ahead menu to make things a little more stress free. In case you missed it, Galentine’s Day is February 13th according to Leslie Knope from the show Parks and Recs to celebrate the ladies in our lives. We celebrated a little late but there is never a bad time to celebrate friends or have brunch.  There is also a great TedTalk on the importance of lady friendships between Jane Fona and Lily Tomlin that is just too funny.

This brunch menu was pretty simple and easy to make in advance so you can enjoy  time with your guests. I like to make some items from scratch and buying others to make hosting easy. Here is the brunch menu breakdown:

Galentine’s Blush Pink Brunch Decorations

For any of you that have watched Parks and Recs, you may recall the episode about Galentine’s Day being February 13th to celebrate the ladies in your life. Here’s a clip of the show where Leslie describes what Galentine’s Day is all about.

Galentine’s day is the 13th which fell on a Monday this year, so I decided to host a late Galentine’s day Sunday Brunch with a neutral palette of creams and light pinks. The neutral blush decor with brunch would also work great for a bridal shower or baby shower as well. Here’s a break down of all the decorations for this day time get together.
