Sometimes celebrating holidays that are generally reserved for couples-only is even better with your BFFs because it takes the unnecessary pressure off the night to, say, plan a fancy meal, find the perfect gift, and get all dolled up for a date that lasts maybe two to three hours at most. You don’t have to dress to impress your squad; if anything, observing what is now known as Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get unready, throw on a pair of pajamas, and indulge in delicious takeout sans any jittery preparations.
Naturally, this idea of celebrating platonic adoration for your squad members has inspired many ladies — both single and spoken for — to celebrate their best girls, which is something that should be done more times in a year. Our friends are our foundation, through thick and thin. They’re there for the heart breaks, promotions and everything in between. Your girlfriends were your ride-or-dies before dating and relationships, and that kind of union shouldn’t be ignored or assumed just because you now have a bae to hold hands with. You have your person, but then you have your girls, and your girls are forever.
