February 13th is a time to celebrate with your girls - enjoy spending a night with the people who get you through all the heartbreaks and situationships.
Host your own cocktail party, or get your friends to bring a selection. Either way, celebrate Galentines with a drink to the long feminist history of the cocktail party.
