It’s super easy to lose track of what’s going on in everyone’s lives. Right now we are all either working or doing our best just to get by. It makes it difficult to keep up with your friends, but you can improve that aspect. Dedicating some time at least once a week for a catch-up and coffee is nice. But, a girl’s night in at least once a month is definitely what you need.
It might not be your thing to hit the local nightclub or a wine bar, especially if you just want to catch up with your friends somewhere comfortable where you can hear everybody talking. You just need to have everything planned to perfection. And that means including everybody, from those who love to have a tipple to those who are alcohol free and prefer something like Citizen Spritz to sip on while they nibble. The key to the best girls’ night in is making sure that you are ready with all the essentials. So let’s talk through those essentials so that you can stop feeling out of touch and get back together with your girlfriends.
You need snacks
You need something to snack on if you want a good night, and you can make this as easy or as fun as you want. Easy is chips, dip, and popcorn spread out on a low coffee table, but the fun is getting everybody to choose a color and then bringing a tray of snacks based on those colors. There are so many options out there. Plus, you could also choose to have a pizza delivered halfway through the night so that you’re not just sustaining yourselves on snacks.
A good selection of drinks
We mentioned Citizen Spritz earlier because of the alcohol-free component, but that doesn’t mean you need a sober night if you don’t want to have one. Offering a selection of wines or cocktails or even just soft drinks gives everybody an option. Nobody has to feel any kind of way about not partaking in slamming tequila shots. A good selection of drinks makes the evening flow well.
Some pamper essentials
When having a girls’ night in it’s nice to paint nails, do face masks, or even swap tips on good lotions and moisturizers. Fun Face masks are a selection of nail polishes left out for your girls and can get everybody in the mood to sit and gossip and pamper.
Movies
Whether you use a spinning wheel to decide on what to watch, get everybody to bring a favorite movie and vote for which one you’d all like to watch. There’s no need to spend money on going to the movies if you can just do it at home and recreate it yourself.
