With us in winter the last thing some of us want to is go out and what we really want to do is stay in and do a Gossip Girl marathon. However, for the wellness of our social lives and mental health, we still have to socialize and are past overdue a night out with our girls. This article will include a list of fun night out themes with your best friends that will be a night to remember.

  1. Vision board night

With vision boards being one of the biggest trends starting the year, this is the perfect opportunity to get together with your closest friends and print out pictures and make your 2023 vision board. This is also a great conversation topic that surround one’s motivations for the years and what their aspirations are instead of having more superficial conversations that on can have every day. It also allows one to seek their creative side and let loose around their closest friends.

  • Cocktails or mocktails themed night

I don’t know about you, but I have seen these types of nights over and over again in my Tik Tok FYP. I love this idea for a night with the girls because it can have many different variations. For example, my favorite two variations are the “make a drink that describes your ex” and the “make a drink that describes your major”. The first one I have seen that it can turn out very funny and people can get really creative: a sippy cup if your ex was childing, a neon drink if your ex was toxic, etc. I find that this is very funny for a group of girls that dislike their ex and still like judging them. Very interesting conversations and funny stories can come up. The other example is just to do a cocktail that is inspired in what your area of study is. Now, you would have to be a little more creative with this variation, but it can still be a fun night with the girls.

  • Red flags party

What this party consists of is wearing a red t-shirt and writing your own red flag, it could be that you’re a pick me girl or have trust issues. This is a fun way of making fun of each other’s red flags and explaining why you think that is your red flag as well can be a funny conversation with the girls.
