Did someone say girls night out?!

I love going out for dinner and drinks, but sometimes it’s nice to take a break from a chaotic night.

By the time the weekend comes around, be prepared with some fun activities to do with your friends!

Instead of doing the same thing on a Friday night, host a fun girls night using these great ideas!!

15 PERFECT GIRLS NIGHT OUT IDEAS THAT WILL KEEP EVERYONE ENTERTAINED

If you are hosting a girls night in, these ideas will make the perfect at home party that will keep you entertained without having to leave your home!

  1. Canvas & Chardonnay (Paint And Sip)

Buy a few bottles of wine, blank canvases, acrylic paint, and a few paint brushes from a craft store. Now you and tour girlfriends can stay entertained all night painting and drinking wine. You can choose to paint whatever you want, or follow along to a painting lesson on YouTube. This is great for a girls night if you’re looking for a hands on activity and don’t want to be forced to constantly chat.

  1. Drink Themed Party

Theme nights are so much fun and a great way for everyone to get to put their own spin on something. For this “drink themed” party, assign everyone to make a drink that has a theme. Each person will make enough drinks for everyone there and take turns presenting their drink to the group. Examples can be around the world theme, western theme, reminds me of my ex theme, job theme, tropical theme, etc. Get creative!

  1. Game Night

Game night is a classic tried and true idea for girls night, and pretty straightforward. Find a few board games or cards to play with your girlfriends and you can stay busy for the whole night! Plus, board games can be played in pairs or solo, and it doesn’t matter how many people you have playing!

If you are looking for conversation start games, the best two I have found are Hygge and We’re Not Really Strangers. These are both great conversation games that provide channels to open up and talk with your friends about so many different topics.

  1. Recap The Year

Make a slideshow of everything you’ve done since you and your friends were last apart. New jobs, vacation, living situation, and anything else you have been up to! This is a perfect way to catch up on everything you might have missed! Also, this ideas comes with a lot of good storytelling and laughs. After graduating college and coming back together after almost a year, this was so much fun for my friends and I.

  1. Movie Night 

Pick one of your favorite movies to watch. Whether it’s a chick flick, action, drama, or horror film, you’ll be able to find something that everyone enjoys. This is a perfect way to relax in your comfy clothes with your girlfriends!

Hosting a girls night is the best way to spend time with your girlfriends without having to leave your house!

This book is super cute and will give you so many good ideas for cute charcuterie boards to make next time you are with your friends!
