Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating friendship, creating cherished memories, and enjoying a fun-filled night out with your best friends before Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect opportunity to gather your girls, try something new while catching up on life. But dinner and drinks can get repetitive, so I found two amazing spots in Overland Park that will make your Galentine’s celebration extra special.

Girls' Night Out at Paint Glaze & Fire

If you and your friends are looking to show off your artistic side, Paint Glaze & Fire is a fantastic choice for Galentine’s Day. This charming pottery painting studio doubles as a cozy coffee shop, making it an ideal setting to sip, unwind and tap into your artistic side.

When you walk in, you’ll find an extensive selection of pottery pieces to choose from, including: mugs, plates, bowls, and adorable figurines. Once you’ve picked your piece, head to the paint bar and pick your colors. They even have stencils to help with designs! Whether you’re a seasoned painter or simply looking to have fun, this experience is all about enjoying the process with no pressure. Just sit back, chat with your friends, and let your creativity flow.

At the coffee and snack bar, they serve lattes, frappés, smoothies, chips and candy. For an even more special experience, consider attending their Girls’ Night Out event, which takes place on the third Friday of every month. This event is designed for the ultimate girls’ night out, allowing you to bring your own bottle of wine while you paint! It’s the perfect way to get creative, sip some of your favorite wine, and spend quality time with your girls. 

Tea Parties at Kate Smith Soirée

If your idea of the perfect Galentine’s Day involves elegance, delicious treats, and an Instagram-worthy atmosphere, then Kate Smith Soirée is the place to be. Imagine a pink, girly paradise brought to life as a bakery. Every detail – from the floral wall and pink velvet couch to the chic pink decor and the iconic "Stay Sweet KC" neon sign – is designed to make you feel like you've stepped into a dreamy European café.

They are known for their variety of baked goods, including: macarons, scones, cinnamon rolls, brownies and cookies. They also offer a selection of coffees and teas to pair with their pastries. And if you’re planning a special celebration, you can order a custom cake to make the occasion even more memorable.

One of the highlights of Kate Smith is their Tea Party events, which are perfect for Galentine’s Day. Inspired by the traditional afternoon teas of London, this experience features a large selection of teas served in elegant teapots. Your group will enjoy unlimited refills, poured into the most adorable teacups, along with a beautifully arranged tray of sandwiches and desserts. It’s a sophisticated, yet fun way to bond with friends while indulging in a delicious assortment of pastries and sandwiches.

Beyond the sweet and savory treats, the bakery has the most beautiful floral pink backdrop where you can get the perfect Galentine photo with your girls!
