There’s really nothing more fun and special than the time you spend with your girls. And, whether that means a weekend away without the hubby, partner or kiddos or a simple girls night out, the time you spend together is sacred. You feel comfortable breeching topics that are just too much for you and your BF, you laugh and giggle over really silly stuff and sometimes a little time with friends can be the best medicine for anything from a bad day at the office to a broken heart. So how about planning the ultimate evening of fun with your friends – try going girls night in! Here are some great ideas for what to do for a night you won’t want to end.
Get your craft on! With so many awesome ideas on Pinterest, you can certainly find the perfect project to suit your besties and that will give you all something to do while you gossip and chat. Get all the supplies prepared and set up beforehand so you and your ladies can grab a glass of wine and sit right down to a creative project.
Plan a wine-tasting party. If you want the ultimate in stay-at-home fun, a wine or champagne tasting is a great way to get the party (and the laughter) started. Buy a whole bunch of different wines and cover the labels or put them in bags to get the blind taste-tests going. Or, try butcher or chalkboard paper to label the wines and pair with some delicious cheeses and snacks.
Relive your single days by planning a pretend bachelorette party. Go all out with fake veils, funny bachelorette toys and blast the music for a fab dance party. Take turns being the bride by celebrating and toasting each friend in the group. Add in some hilarious games and you have yourself one heck of a night!
Cooking night. Even for those girls who don’t really like to break out their inner chef, cooking is a whole bunch of fun when you’re with your friends. From baking cookies to even working together to make dinner, trying out some new recipes together is the perfect way to get your girls night in started.
Host a hair and makeup night. Being your own stylists will be a total blast when you take turns giving each other the ultimate make over. If you want to go all out, hire a makeup artist and hair stylist for the night, giving each girl the chance to get a little hair and makeup pampering.
Movie night! Go back to all your favorite rom-coms (the ones your guy never wants to watch) and indulge in the perfect evening with your gals. Add some great snacks to the mix and a signature fancy champagne cocktail – you and your crew will be laughing and relaxing all night long.
How about hosting a book club? If you and your girls don’t have time to read a whole book (totally understandable!), give an article club a try. There are so many great blog posts and articles out there perfect for striking up conversation – and everyone can even read it when they get there. How easy and fun!
Think healthy by clearing all the furniture out of the living room for a night of yoga before you break out the bubbly and the snacks. Got a girlfriend who teaches yoga? She can lead you along. Otherwise, hop on the web for a guided class – get all zenned out before you get down to the business of chatting and laughing.
What do you think? Could your next night with your besties turn into girls night in? Sounds like a blast, doesn’t it?
