One of our “ins” for 2025: bringing back the art of the dinner party. And for our February dinner party, we’re celebrating female friendships by hosting a Galentine’s Day slumber party. We’re drawing inspiration from our favorite rom-coms to host the ultimate girls’ night in. Read on for everything you’ll need to host your own soirée, complete with cozy vibes, indulgent cocktails, and a movie lineup that’ll make you swoon.
The Tablescape
Set the scene for an evening of girl talk, laughter, and indulgence with a romantic-meets-playful tablescape. Think soft pinks, candlelight, and a touch of cheeky charm.
Start with layering: A white or blush linen tablecloth creates a dreamy base, while heart napkins add a personal touch.
Incorporate fun glassware: Whether it’s coupe glasses for your signature cocktail or chic etched wine glasses, pretty glassware makes every sip feel special.
Play with florals: Arrange fresh roses, peonies and ranunculus in a mix of bud vases and a statement centerpiece.
Don’t forget the details: Cheeky cocktail napkins, customized place cards, and heart napkin rings add a festive flair.
The Dress Code
Queue up the rom com playlist and get ready to dance. Have your guests arrive in their best pajama attire—think silky sets, fluffy robes, and matching slippers. The brighter, the better—if you get weird looks for your outfit on the way there, that’s just main character energy. Bonus points for satin eye masks or hair rollers for the full slumber party effect.
For a hostess moment, slip into our Holbox Robe—the perfect mix of cozy and effortlessly elegant.
The Cocktails
A Galentine’s Day party isn’t complete without a signature cocktail (or two). Whether you’re a martini girlie or prefer something bubbly, here are a few fun ideas:
The Blush Spritz – Rosé Prosecco, elderflower liqueur, and a splash of club soda with fresh raspberries.
The Cosmo – A pink cosmopolitan, because a rom-com night deserves a classic.
The Strawberry Basil Smash – Fresh strawberries, gin, a little honey, and muddled basil for a refreshing sip.
Serve your cocktails in elegant coupe glasses or mix up a batch in a chic cocktail shaker. Have Shopbop Coasters and Be Mine Cocktail Napkins on hand.

Of course, you’ll need to watch a classic rom-com to close out the night. Grab your Razzles, pour yourself a cocktail and pick a movie from our all-time rom com must-watch list:
