19 Galentine's Day Zoom Backgrounds For Your Virtual Parties

Galentine’s Day is right around the corner and with it brings virtual celebrations aplenty. If you’re looking for the perfect Zoom background for Galentine's Day, you definitely won’t be lacking in choice. The internet is your Zoom background oyster, and I’ve found a few pearls that are perfect for this BFF-celebrating holiday.

By now, we’ve all got some degree of Zoom exhaustion. So, making your Zoom Galentine’s Day party feel special will be key to keeping your friends excited about clicking on yet another video conference link. Before Galentine’s Day — which is this Saturday, Feb. 13 — have everyone send around the recipe for their favorite cocktail or organize a drink delivery with a service like Drizly or Cocktail Courier. Plan some Galentine’s Day activities you can easily do on Zoom, like having a watch party with your favorite rom-com or playing a few rounds of Jackbox games. If you want to get everyone a little something, you can even order Galentine’s Day gifts to get delivered straight to your friends’ doorsteps. You could also keep it completely lowkey and just spend the call catching up on mid-pandemic life. There is no wrong way to celebrate Galentine’s Day.
