Girl’s nights are 100 percent a must! However, sometimes figuring out what to do can be tough. Be sure to use this guide when planning your next girl’s night!

The first step is to figure out the vibes. There are endless options for deciding what to do with your friends. Figuring out whether or not to stay in or go out is a great first step. When staying in you can have your own dinner party, game night, movie night or drink night! A favorite of mine is having everyone create their own drink and make a PowerPoint presentation. 

Once that is sorted out you can decide who is going to bring what. Everyone should bring something different whether it be snacks, drinks or games. This is fun because everyone gets to be as creative as they want and choose whatever they enjoy. It also allows for everyone to be involved in bringing the night together. 

If the girls decide to go for a night out, figure out what everyone wants that to look like. This could be going to see a movie, grabbing dinner, getting a drink, seeing a show or anything in between. I would suggest keeping a list of everyone’s favorite places so you always have a go-to spot. 

To spice things up you can choose to add a theme to whatever it is the group decides. Themes are a great way to wear clothes that might normally just sit in your closet, try new makeup looks or just give everyone a good laugh. One way to randomize themes is to put a bunch of ideas into a hat and pick them out to decide what to do!

A night with the girls, no matter what it looks like, is always good for the soul. It could be as chill or as crazy as the group chooses it to be. Some of the best nights are the most spontaneous so do not worry if things do not go as planned.
