A Galentine's Day Party That's Mint To Be

January 29, 2019

It’s no secret that Valentine’s Day is often dreaded by many, sometimes even those who are in a relationship! Why do we need a special day of the year to tell our significant other that they are…well, significant? Sure, we’ll go on Instagram and Pinterest and see the funny meme’s about being single on Valentine’s Day or how you’re going to wear all black on the 14^th of February...and yeah, you’ll probably laugh at them too, even if you can secretly relate to them.

BUT Dental Hygiene Nation is here to break the stigma that Valentine’s Day has to suck if you’re not in a relationship. Yep, DHN is about to show you how to throw an Galentine’s Day party with your Dental Besties that’s so good…it’ll make you wish every day was GALentine’s Day! A Galentine’s Day party that’s so good…it may as well have been MINT TO BE. ;)

Step One:

Pick a time and place that’s MINT TO BE the location of the cutest shindig ever.

Step Two:

Invite your Dental Besties, their Dental Besties and both of your regular besties too. The more the merrier when you’re celebrating the loooove you have for their friendship. Make sure to let them know to wear their favorite Valentine’s Day get-ups or plan to get matching V-Day tee’s from DHN. Only rules: you must be wearing red, pink or hearts to get in.

PS: & if you're attending the party but still not TOTALLY in the V-DAY spirit, this shirts for you! #biteme

Step Three:

Go on Amazon and add allllll the minty, lovey dovey goodness you can find into your cart. If you’re going to throw the best Galentine’s Day Party ever, it’s going to need to be fresher than mint…are we right? Here’s some of our faves below:

TIP: While you’re on Amazon, throw in some fun games for the night too! We love games that make everyone laugh like ‘What do you Meme’ and ‘Cards Against Humanity.’

Step Four:

Ask your guests to coordinate food and drinks for the evening. We’re talking chips, dip, cookie cake, cake pops, cupcakes…the list goes on! After all, a celebration of gals just wouldn’t be the same without something to satisfy the sweet tooth!

A mimosa bar would be the perfect way to put a POP, FIZZ & CLINK into your night! Of course, everyone is welcomed to bring what they like for this minty affair, but having enough champs to cheers with your girls is essential. Bonus points on being the best host ever if you pour the bubbly into DHN’s SWISH champagne flutes for the toast!

Step Five:

The day is here, DECORATE! Go crazy with all the minty goodness you have purchased (and add a touch of pink, too)! When your guests arrive, you’ll want them to know this isn’t just a girls night in. It’s a celebration of friendship, Galentine’s, and a reminder that your friendship is mint to be.

Step Six:

Pump up the jams! Make sure that speaker is charged up and ready to go for a night of singing, dancing, and letting lose.

Step Seven:

Get yourself ready! Put on your toothy LOVE shirt from DHN, throw on some comfy leggings, pour yourself a drink and wait for your Galentine’s to arrive.

Step Eight:

GET THE PARTY STARTED! Eat, drink and be merry! Remind your Galentine’s what it is what makes them special and just why you love them! Lift each other up, talk about something other than teeth for once ;) Let loose and just have a good time.

Step Nine:

Floss in the name of love! Get crafty and make valentines together! Contact CocoFloss for some samples and attach to a cute love note to hand out to your non-flossing friends. Hint Hint ;)
