Hosting a Galentines Day brunch is perfect for helping you celebrate friendship and love over some amazing food and great company.
From food to decoration ideas, this guide highlights some simple Galentines day brunch ideas that will help to wow your guests.
Galentines Day Brunch Ideas
Planning your amazing Galentines day brunch does not have to be difficult or stressful.
Many stress factors can be reduced with some simple planning. For example, in planning your brunch menu think about the following questions:
- How many guests will be attending the brunch? (So that you can have enough food)
- Do I want to prepare the meals myself or have them catered?
- Do any of my guests have any allergies/food restrictions?
- If I plan on cooking, what food items can be made ahead of time?
Lastly, incorporating items found at a local bakery can save you even more time. For instance, instead of baking muffins from scratch, you can purchase them from a bakery/grocery store.
All in all, your brunch menu can be as simple/extravagant as you would like.
Have fun and play around with the various food items and the way that they’re presented. Charcuterie boards, serving platters, bowls, and display stands are great ways to beautifully display and enhance the food.

Brunch Bar Ideas
A fun and easy way to add some excitement to your brunch is having a DIY brunch bar.
In addition to being a beautiful display piece, your friends will have a blast customizing their breakfast. Here are some example DIY bars that you can set up:
Crepe bar
Increase the excitement of your brunch with a fun crepe bar. Your friends will have a blast mixing and matching the fillings to their heart’s desire.
For greater convenience, you can prepare your crepes a day ahead and warm them in the oven the day of the brunch.
Although it makes preparing crepes easier, you don’t need a fancy crepe maker. You can produce delicious and beautifully shaped crepes with a regular nonstick skillet.
In addition to a classic chocolate hazelnut spread, here are some sample filling and topping options for your crepes:
- Strawberries
- Bananas
- Mini chocolate chips
- Toasted almonds
- Ricotta
- Lemon curd
- Whipped cream
Waffle bar
Create a cute waffle bar with various toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, fried chicken, berry compote, and sprinkles.
To heighten the pink festive mood of Galentine’s Day, you can add some food coloring to your waffle batter to give it a beautiful shade of pink.
It’s important to note that if you don’t have a waffle iron, you can easily substitute waffles for equally delicious pancakes.
Parfait Making Station
Impress your friends with a DIY parfait-making station. All you need are some foundational ingredients such as a variety of yogurt, granola, and fresh fruits.
If you would like, you can include more toppings such as toasted coconut flakes and chia seeds.
Lastly, don’t forget to include dairy-free yogurt and gluten-free granola options, if applicable for your guests.
Galentines Day Brunch Ideas
In addition to the delicious food, complete your Galentine’s Day brunch with beautiful decor and table setting.
If you’re looking to tone down the pink and red colors of Valentine’s Day decor, incorporate accent colors such as blue, gold, and white.
You don’t have to spend a ton of money on decorations and table-setting elements.
Cute and festive items can be found at your local grocery store, thrift store, Walmart, etc.
Here are some easy ways that you can decorate for your Galentines Day brunch:
- Add balloons
- Sprinkle confetti on your table
- Set up a fun photo wall
- Incorporate fresh or faux flowers into your table setting
- Dress your table with a beautiful tablecloth and/or table runner
- Use nondisposable tableware for a fancy touch (If you’re seeking an easier clean-up session and cheaper upfront costs, you may find greater benefits in using disposable tableware items)
All in all, you can save a lot of time the day of the party by decorating your space and setting up the place settings the day before, so that you don’t have to scramble last minute.
That is all for the Galentine’s Day brunch ideas! You can finish your brunch with fun activities and games for your guests. Such as a cute photo wall, Galentine’s themed Bingo, charades, and musical chairs.
