How To Plan an Empowering Galentine’s Day Sleepover Party for Your Daughter

Friendship. Fun. Self-love. Confetti. That’s the vibe of a FearlesslyGiRL-approved Galentine’s Day sleepover!

Whether your daughter is 8 or 14, planning a Galentine’s Day sleepover is such a fun way to celebrate the beauty of girl friendships, and give her and her besties an evening full of empowerment, laughter, and connection.

Real talk: Girls today are growing up in a world that often pushes competition over connection. That’s why creating safe, uplifting spaces where they can be fully themselves (in matching pajamas, of course!) matters more than ever.

Let’s break it down! Here’s your guide to planning the ultimate Galentine’s Day empowerment sleepover, complete with activities, DIYs, and feel-good moments they’ll never forget.

Key Takeaways 💕

• Galentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity to empower your daughter and her friends.

• Focus on fun, friendship, and self-love in every detail.

• Incorporate confidence-building activities like affirmations, kindness cards, and gratitude rituals.

• Keep snacks simple, crafts meaningful, and the vibe cozy.

• Leave girls feeling seen, supported, and celebrated.

💌 1. Set the Vibe: Invitations & Intentions

Start with cute, confidence-boosting invitations! You can go digital with Canva or print your own with phrases like:

• “Girls Supporting Girls”

• “Pizza, PJs & Positivity”

• “Galentine’s Glow-Up Party”

✨ Add a sweet note: “Come as you are. Leave feeling fearless.”

Encourage each girl to bring something cozy (like a favorite blanket or stuffed animal) and something that makes them feel strong (like a quote, journal, or photo).

💖 2. Decorate with Heart (Literally!)

You don’t need to go overboard—just think cozy, fun, and full of heart. A few easy ideas:

• Pink & red balloons with handwritten affirmations

• A DIY “You Are Loved” photo booth

• String lights and heart garlands

• Matching eye masks or fuzzy socks as welcome gifts

Bonus: Create a “Love Wall” where each girl writes a kind message to the others throughout the night!

🧁 3. Fuel the Fun: Snacks & Sweet Treats

Keep it simple, allergy-friendly, and themed! Try:

• Heart-shaped fruit kabobs

• Popcorn with pink sprinkles

• DIY cupcake decorating station

• Sparkling lemonade in fancy cups with strawberry slices

Let them “toast” to strong friendships and sweet memories!

🌟 4. Girl Power Activities That Build Confidence

Now for the heart of the night—activities that help girls celebrate themselves and each other.

💌 Kindness Card Exchange

Have each girl write anonymous compliments or notes of encouragement and pop them into mini mailboxes or paper bags. At the end of the night, everyone opens their bag of affirmations!

🪞 Mirror Mantras

Set up a mirror station with washable markers. Each girl writes an empowering affirmation like:

• “I am brave.”

• “I am enough.”

• “I lift other girls up.”

Then, they take a turn saying it aloud while the group cheers them on!

🎬 Movie & Mindfulness

Choose a feel-good movie with positive girl friendship themes—like Stargirl, Turning Red, or Akeelah and the Bee. End with a short guided meditation or gratitude circle to wind down.

✨ 5. DIY Keepsake Crafts

Crafting is the perfect way to make memories and something meaningful to take home. Try:

• Friendship bracelets with positive word beads (LOVE, BOLD, KIND)

• Galentine’s Gratitude Jars (decorate mini jars and fill with “reasons I’m awesome”)

• Vision Boards using old magazines, markers, and stickers (great for setting fearless goals!)

💤 6. Cozy Closing Ritual

Before bedtime, gather the girls in a circle. Pass around a stuffed heart or pillow and have each girl share:

• One thing she loved about the night

• One thing she loves about herself

It’s a soft, powerful way to close the party with connection and confidence.
