Wondering what makes a Galentine's Day brunch so special? The details of course! Creating a Pinterest-perfect brunch is a lot easier than you think. Women love a curated, well-thought-out party. If you are interested in organizing this type of event for your favorite girls, but don't know where to start, fear not. We put together a list of brunch ideas that will make a big impact if you are trying to create a Pinterest-worthy brunch! 

Here is everything you need to step up your Galentine's Day brunch: 
 

Custom Invitations: 

Sending invitations is more than just a brunch idea. It’s basically party etiquette. Give your guests the joy of receiving a beautifully designed invite. A small detail, like receiving a physical invitation card rather than a quick text message, will go a long way when trying to create an elevated approach for your Galentine’s Day brunch.  

Whether you create physical cards or a digital design, this small detail is one way to convey your attention to detail and intention with your brunch party.  Think of designing your invite around your theme. Soft pinks and reds are classic Galentine’s colors. Choose cursive fonts to amplify the elevated stylization of your invitation cards.  

Decorations: 
 

A Galentine's Day is not complete without decorations. To make this a Pinterest-worthy brunch idea, choose to use your space as an art display as opposed to buying “cheesy” heart shaped decor and putting it everywhere.  

Create a tablescape with florals and fresh fruit for eye-catching seating. To create this, you will need a neutral color tablecloth or large craft paper that will cover the width of your dining table. This will create the perfect background for your stunning fresh flowers and fruit.  

To create a long floral arrangement, use floral foam blocks instead of vases to present a unique look. The floral foam blocks will anchor your flowers and make sure your design stays in place throughout your Galentine's Day brunch. Choose 3 focal flowers that are soft and beautiful for your display to act as your centerpieces. Roses, carnations, and hydrangeas are great aesthetic flowers to create an impact on your arrangement. If you’re trying to avoid the romantic cliche of roses, tulips also create a dramatic look while breathing spring into a sometimes-cold day of the year. Use filler flowers like gypsophila (baby's breath) to add fullness to sparse areas. To make this arrangement truly Pinterest-worthy, add in whole and cut pomegranates, oranges, and lemons to add a pop off fresh color and a unique twist.  

Brunch Boards: 

Brunch is all about the combination of sweet and savory delicious foods. Instead of creating a traditional sit-down brunch meal, try “brunch boards” instead. Brunch boards have evolved from the idea of a traditional charcuterie board, made up of cheese and meat but with a breakfast-y twist. To make this a visual feast fit for a Pinterest post, create a few different boards.  

One brunch board can be dedicated to bread and pastries. Include mini versions of croissants, pancakes, waffles, muffins, and biscuits. Alongside this board, you can have a 'dips and spreads' board with small dishes filled with jams, honey, maple syrup, butter, and hazelnut spread (or whatever your heart desires). Elevating this concept further would entail using beautiful dishware and cutlery to create a stunning display that not only tastes, but looks great, too. 

Another brunch idea for a board that would be perfect for a Galentine’s Day brunch could be a finger sandwich board. Think of a high tea experience. Set aside a box of unique flavored teas that your guests can choose from with a pot of hot water on standby (don’t forget cute teacups and saucers!). Create finger sandwiches with unique pairings to surprise and delight your guests. Try a Havarti cheese sandwich paired with bacon jam or a mint chutney and cucumber combination to balance out the other sweet items.  

Drink Station: 

 
A drink station is a must to accompany all the delicious food. Include fun signage like “Time to Sip” above the drink station to add a fun decorative element. Your drink station should include classic breakfast drinks, like tea and coffee. However, a Galentine’s Day brunch is not complete without toasting with a glass of mimosa in hand, so setting out a bottle of champagne and orange juice is compulsory. Include a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne for your friends that do not drink. Other options include twists on classic mimosas like incorporating grapefruit juice, fruit punch or other juices to mix with your sparkling wine or champagne.  

Create one fun signature cocktail (or mocktail) that you can set out next to the brunch boards for another fun visual element that your guests will love as they walk into your space! Cranberry juice has a beautiful red color, which is on theme for Galentine’s brunch theme. Pair cranberry juice with any alcohol mix you enjoy (or drink it straight!) and top with frozen cranberries in place of ice cubes for a decorative touch.  

Photo Wall: 
 

If you’re thinking of decor for your list of brunch ideas, a photo wall or backdrop is essential. Set aside time to capture memories with your guests at your Galentine’s Day event. A polaroid camera or polaroid printer is a terrific way to capture the moment and have a keepsake for your guests to take home.  

Set up a fun background where you can take pictures. To keep the decor elevated, avoid balloons and loud themed prints. A wonderful way to incorporate a fun element while keeping your brunch Pinterest-chic is using metallic streamers (closed) placed together on a wall or a large mirror with peel off sticker signage. Both are great options to keep your space looking chic and minimal while still adding visual interest in your photos.  

The time, energy, and thought put into all the details will be worth it once your tribe of girls sees the finished results. While all the details will make for an elevated, Pinterest worthy Galentine’s Day brunch, know that the real value comes from spending quality time with the women in your life.  

Set up your space in advance with all these great brunch ideas, so you can genuinely enjoy every moment with your guests. Have an amazing Galentine’s Day. Don’t forget to grab yourself a glass and enjoy your brunch!
