Supper Club ideas are always fun for Valentine's Day- and Galentine's Day! Host your girlfriends for a fun night of conversation- and what could be a better theme than candy conversation hearts? This is the fun we put together for my daughter and her friends...

My grandmother's sofa, that I had recovered in hot pink fabric, served as the focal point- and the perfect place to attach conversation heart balloons. The girls love to have a place to take photos, and this turned out to be a comfy and creative photo booth.

For the color scheme, I used the colors that you find in bags and boxes of Candy Conversation Hearts and added red like the lettering on the candy. I bought flowers in coordinating colors at the grocery store (Trader Joe's, Publix, and Kroger are my go-to grocery store flowers). I used clear vases to arrange the flowers and lined them down the tables. I also used lots of candles on the tables in between the flowers. When I host parties with lots of young people, I typically only use battery-operated candles for safety reasons.

I sprinkled candy hearts down the middle of each table to tie in the theme- and I also ordered cookies shaped like conversation heart candy. The cookies are from Bambella Cookies, and they always exceed my expectations. Tara is so talented and so dependable.

I loved having pastels and brights mixed at this party. They complemented each other well, and it was nice to brighten up a February day and night with pops of color.

Because we were celebrating Galentine's Day, I hung balloon letters that spelled out "Gal Pals" in the dining room. I used string lights to light the room and then attached the balloon letters to the cord of the lights.

My daughter has always liked gum ball machines, and so I asked Tara if she could design a gum ball machine cookie with candy hearts inside instead of gum balls. She added the cute "I Chews You" to top it off! I love how they turned out (as you will see because I couldn't stop taking pictures of them) :).
I put the cookies on a layer of candy hearts to serve them...

I also ordered candy kabobs with tiny hearts on them for the girls. They were cute lollipops that I grouped together in a clear candy jar...

For other cookie designs, Bambella Cookies and I came up with cute sayings that would be fun for Galentine's Day.

For dinner, my daughter wanted to have fried chicken...and so we served fried chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, and fruit. To make it really simple, I ordered the fried chicken from Publix and put it in our oven to keep it warm.

The girls love sparkling apple cider, and so I bought disposable champagne flutes from Hobby Lobby to use for serving. Before the party, my daughter and a friend dipped the rims of each glass in vanilla frosting and then dipped them into sprinkles. This was definitely a fun little bonus and looked so pretty and colorful.

My daughter also wanted to make and serve her Edible Cookie Dough. There was no shortage of sweets at the dessert table for this Galentine's Day Supper Club!

In order to make the cookie dough as pretty as possible when we served it, we scooped it into printed candy cups and added a gold mini spoon tied with a ribbon.

For decorations, I re-used the white balloon garland that I made for the Winter Supper Club and added heart balloons...

And, for party favors, I couldn't resist the cutest Conversation Candy Heart Soaps from Sun Basil Soap... I tied bows in colors to coordinate with the party and stacked them on a cupcake stand for a pretty presentation.

It was such a fun night of watching these girls enjoy themselves. Supper Clubs for teens are a joy to me- I love seeing each girl and always look forward to the next time they are all together!
