It’s officially Galsmas season, that magical time when you and your besties gather for a night of food, fun, and festive cheer, because let's face it, everyone just gets way too busy late in December, and we still need to see our tribe to start the silly season! Think fresh smells, candlelight, pink table settings, bubbly drinks, and lots of laughter.
Whether it’s your first Galsmas or your annual girls’ Christmas dinner, this guide has everything you need to host the most magical celebration, full of heart and all things chic!
1. Send Gorgeous Themed Digital Invitations
Set the tone for your event with a stunning Galsmas-themed digital invitation template by Olivia Audrey Creative. It’s the perfect blend of modern and merry. Whatever your theme may be, it will help guide your friends with the right attitude and attire as well. Digital invites make planning easy, while the elegant design gets everyone in the festive mood from the very start.
2. Create a Festive Glow with Pale Pink Spiral Candles
Every holiday dinner deserves soft, flattering light. Add instant elegance with a 6-pack of pale pink spiral taper candles (unscented, dripless, and timeless). Their twisted design adds dimension, giving a more non-traditional vibe, and the pink hue ties your colour palette together beautifully, adding depth.
3. Pink Bow Candle Holders For Femininity
Your centerpiece deserves a moment. These pink bow candle holders are perfectly sweet and festive, sculptural and soft pink. Pair them with your spiral candles to create a balanced and elegant holiday centerpiece that complements your other table decor quite nicely.
4. Cotton Linen Dinner Napkins For Texture
Swap out paper for pretty and practical pink cotton linen blend napkins. They’re reusable, easy to wash, and elevate your entire tablescape. Tie each napkin with a bow of satin ribbon for a polished, feminine finish. There you go, half of your table decor is already done! I’ve also included a how-to guide on folding them to your style. Helping me massively in the final moments before friends arrive.
5. Luxury Scalloped Table Runner
A scalloped edge table runner in shades of dark and light pink is the secret to an aligned, cohesive setup. The embroidered scalloped edges add texture and charm, while the colour palette keeps everything soft and merry. It’s the detail that makes your dinner table look like a styled shoot. So don’t forget to take a picture before the fun starts.
6. Wrap It in Love with Red & Pink Satin Ribbons
A simple roll of satin ribbon in pink and red can go a long way; tie it around napkins, glassware, or even your cookie favour bags. It’s an inexpensive yet impactful detail that instantly adds warmth and style. Plus, they look amazing!
7. Bake Together with Gingerbread Cookie Cutters
Did we just mention favour bags? Well, no Galsmas is complete without sweet treats! Use a set of gingerbread cookie cutters to bake and decorate cookies together. It’s the perfect after-dinner activity! Hot tip, set this activity as a start in the nights events, that way everyone has their late night treat when they go home.
8. Sip in Style with Cute Glass Cups
Serve your cocktails or mocktails in cute glass cups with lids and straws. They’re not only reusable and eco-friendly but also adorable for photos. Fill them with pink-hued drinks like rosé spritzers, cranberry fizz, or peppermint mochas.
9. Themed Menu Digital Templates For Finishing Touches
Personalised menus by Olivia Audrey Creative make your table feel truly intentional. They double as decor while giving guests a peek at what’s on the menu and also what’s happening throughout the night.
10. Secret Santa Gift Exchange
Round off your night with a Secret Santa gift exchange. Whether you go for something heartfelt, handmade, or hilarious, this tradition keeps the focus on friendship and giving, the true spirit of Galsmas. Hot Tip: When filling out your digital invitation, make sure you set a price limit.
