How To Host A Galentine’s Brunch
I don’t know about you, but I love having a reason to get together with my girlfriends. Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I want to share some ideas for how to host a Galentine’s Brunch.
How fun would it be to set a pretty table, invite your girlfriends over and serve some yummy brunch food and a delicious cocktail?
Here are a few ideas for things you can serve at your brunch…..
menu ideas for galentine’s brunch
Raspberry Prosecco Cocktail
Classic Fruit Salad
Artichoke and Sun Dried Tomato Bites
Zucchini Quiche
Heart Linzer Cookies
heart linzer/shortbread cookies
These heart shortbread cookies are one of my favorite cookie recipes, and I’ve been making them for years.
Not only are they delicious, they are beautiful.
These would be great to serve at a Galentine’s Brunch or would be a fun take home gift.
You could bag them in clear cellophane bags, tie with a cute ribbon, and add a fun tag.
Galentine’s brunch centerpiece
For my Galentine’s tablescape, I started with a white tablecloth with a ruffled hem. I thought this added a sweet and feminine touch to my table.
Next, I added a washed linen table runner from South House Designs for an extra layer of texture down the center of the table.
I kept the centerpiece very simple and used grocery store flowers in white vases.
I bought blush pink roses and cut them down fairly short and added them to a white ironstone chamber pot.
White baby’s breath is displayed in a vintage white vase and white tulips in a plain white vase tied with raffia.
I sprinkled small white candles throughout the tablescape. Candles add such a beautiful ambiance to a dinner party.
place settings for a Galentine’s Brunch
My inspiration for this tablescape were these heart placemats I made from thrifted sweaters.
I started with those at each place setting, then used white dinner plates from my collection of mix and match thrifted white plates.
I topped each dinner plate with a red transferware salad plate.
Champagne flutes were added for a touch of elegance and a fun cocktail would be beautiful served in these glasses.
And lastly, I folded white napkins to look like an envelope and added a wooden heart for a little extra touch.
The napkins are some I have collected from thrift stores over the years and the wooden hearts were on a sheet of stickers from the dollar store. The hearts were unfinished wood, so I painted them a blush pink color with craft paint.
You can see the full post about how to fold a napkin like an envelope here.
This Galentine’s Brunch tablescape was super easy to put together using mostly things I already on hand.
I spent very little money and created a beautiful setting for a girlfriends get together.
I hope you found some inspiration from this “How to Host a Galentine’s Brunch” post!

Hi. I can’t help but notice the salad plate you show on your beautiful table. I have the same dishes, the whole set, that my father bought for his mother when he was in the Navy in WW2. I’ve never seen them anywhere else! Where did Uluru get them?
Best regards,
Audrey
Oh wow! That is so special that you have those!
I bought a partial set at a garage sale a couple of years ago. I love collecting transferware dishes. I don’t use these red ones often, but I love the sweet pattern.
Beautiful table Michele! I came over from Kim at Shiplap and Shells – so happy to have found your lovely blog! The sweater placemat and envelope napkin are inspired! Such a fun touch to a gorgeous table.
