Plan a Girls Night Out
Go ahead. Invite the girls for a night out on the town. Don't just wait for someone else to do it - YOU do it. We'll help get you started.
THE INVITE
Start the evening off right by picking out the perfect invitation. Evite has some great ready-made designs or you can upload one of your own. Evite
THE PLACE & ACTIVITY
Where to go? What to do? It really depends on the crowd. For some, drinks at a local bar are all that's required. For others, maybe dinner and movie or even a night of bowling will fit the bill. You know the girls, pick something that everyone can enjoy. TIP: Go somewhere you can't go with kids. Any mom can tell you that even a trip to Hallmark can be a luxury.
Other Ideas:
Shoe shopping - Go ahead! Do the flamingo dance that Jeff Foxworthy accuses us of doing. You know the one, you put a different shoe on each foot and then say, "Which do you like better? These? Or These?" as you alternate standing on one foot while hiding the other behind you. Note: This activity is best done BEFORE visiting the wine bar!
Explore a bookstore - Pick out a book you can all agree to read then you'll have something to discuss at your next girls night out. You might even venture over to the magazine section and decide which magazines you can each subscribe to and then share. You can also shop online
Night at the Drive-in - When you get together with the gals, you often tend to get nostalgic. Why not pop some popcorn, put on your fuzzy slippers, pile in that huge honkin' SUV and hit the drive-in? There are still plenty around. Here's a great site where you can find one near you. Many now offer double-features too.
Paint Pottery - Many cities now have one or two places where you can paint your own pottery. Yes, it is similar to the ceramics class you or your mom took in the 80s but with a twist. Instead of cookie-cutter, paint-by-number painting, you can put your own design and creativity into anything from a serving platter to a dog dish. Many places even have wine and cheese or dinner offered. Find a place in your neighborhood and go!
