PLANNING THE PERFECT GALENTINE’S EVENT

Whether you're going for cosy vibes or something a bit more glam, here's how to make sure your event is unforgettable:



Set the Mood

To get everyone in the spirit, create an atmosphere that's warm and inviting using fairy lights, candles, and a colour palette full of romantic, feminine tones—think soft pinks, reds, and whites. For that extra touch of luxury, Boux Avenue's scented candles or diffusers will fill the space with a soothing, elegant aroma that's perfect for the occasion.

Pick a Theme

Themes make everything more fun! How about a "Movie Night in Luxe Loungewear" for a laid-back vibe or a "Spa Night" for ultimate relaxation? Boux Avenue's casual nightwear or satin chemises are perfect for combining cute, cosy and chic. Or the playful Bow Ribbed Playsuit in pink is an adorable addition to you and your BFFs wardrobes - so you can have a total matching moment.



Decorate

It's the little things that make a big impact - simple DIY decorations like heart garlands, personalised name cards or even a DIY photo booth. Keep the colour palette cohesive with your theme for a polished look.

GALENTINE ACTIVITY IDEAS TO KEEP THINGS FUN
If you want to be the hostess with the mostest, here are some activity ideas that are sure to be a hit…



DIY Stations
Who doesn't love a little hands-on fun? Set up DIY stations where you can make bath bombs or get creative with pottery or painting. Turn it into a paint-and-sip session with refreshing smoothies, bubble teas, or a rich hot chocolate. This is such a fun way to bond, get crafty, and leave with a cute keepsake from the night. Plus you'll have something sweet to post on the Gram.

Self-Care Session
Everyone deserves a little pampering now and then. Why not bring the spa to you and grab all the essentials to do at-home facials or manis and pedis. To really get into the R&R mood, have everyone slip into luxury robes and cosy socks or slippers for the ultimate night in.

Cook Together
They say that food is the key to the heart. Whether it's making your own pizzas, fakeaways, or trying a fancy recipe that you've saved from TikTok and always wanted to try - why not take over the kitchen as a team? You could put together a tasty cheese board to snack on while catching up. And, of course, make sure there's cookie dough for afters.
