One of the best parts about throwing a party is the presentation, so get creative with your table settings! 

For an extra special touch, make your own XO napkins or stock up on another cute variety at your favorite party store. 

Sip your drinks in sparkly style with these straws ($12/12)

Make your own printed tablecloth with Xs and Os or opt for some hearts, inspiring quotes, or leave it blank for your guests to doodle on throughout the day! 

Brunch is best. Do it right with these delicious recipes. 

Start with something light and sweet like these delightful strawberry twist pastries before you get down to the full meal. 

Keep your menu fresh and fruity with these quick fruit, yogurt, and granola parfaits.

Use a heart-shaped waffle iron, or just cut your little guys into hearts yourself, then let your guests load up with fruit, coconut, syrup, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, sprinkles (why not!?), and of course, whipped cream. 

Bring on the bubbly with this make-your-own-mischief style mimosa bar. 

Liven up your coffee (or hot chocolate) chat with these chocolate-dipped spoons, perfect for stirring and sweetening!

Sure, hanging out with all your favorite lady friends will undoubtedly lead to chatting and gossiping galore, but keep the party going with these activities (and maybe leave out the "Friendship Rankings" questionnaire) 

Leslie famously gifted each of her Galentines a mosaic of their face made of their favorite diet soda bottles (April loved hers) No need to get that specific, but you can get artsy with your ladies and make your own creations like these mosaic photo frame kits! 

Give all your girl crushes a bit of color with this fierce coloring book. 

Pro tip: Write up all these names (and other girl crushes or powerful female characters) and play a game of charades with your ladies acting as your favorite famous ladies! 

Have all your guests sit in a circle. Then, have each person write their name on a piece of paper. Everyone pass their paper to the right and their neighbor will write their own oddball compliment (beautiful, naïve, sophisticated, newborn baby / talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox) or something more tame (I love your infectious smile / You have the most fabulous sense of style). Keep passing until everyone gets their name back, this time covered with lovely compliments from their lady friends!

No better day to channel your favorite musical divas. 

If you don't have an immense arsenal of personalized gifts for all the ladies in your life like Leslie, try one of these favor ideas instead.
