Planning your next girls’ night out doesn’t have to be difficult. Whether you need to accommodate a small, close-knit group of friends or a large group, there are plenty of options you can choose from. Check out these ideas to decide what you and your friends should do on your next girls’ night.
Go to a Casino
When you visit a non-smoking casino, you’ll find something for everyone to enjoy. In addition to slots, games, and cards, many casinos have nice bars, restaurants, dance clubs, and live music.
Plan to dress up for the night or repurpose some items in your wardrobe so you’re ready for a fabulous night out. Then, when you arrive, grab a bite to eat together before checking out everything else the casino has to offer. After dinner, you and your friends can choose how you want to spend the rest of the evening.
Try a New Restaurant
You might think that going to dinner and having a few drinks doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but what if, instead of going to the normal local haunts, you and your friends considered checking out a new restaurant? The change of scenery will be nice, you all get to try something new, and you don’t have to plan an elaborate gathering.
Wine Tasting
If you’re a wine lover, attending a wine tasting may be a good option. Often, you can find local wine tastings at local liquor stores or restaurants if you don’t have a vineyard nearby. If you aren’t a big fan of wine, consider heading to the nearest brewery to try a variety of local spirits.
Take a Cooking Class
Taking a class together in a group makes the class a lot more fun. Consider taking a cooking class with your friends to learn how to cook a new dish. You could even learn to cook an ethnic meal. Many places offer classes to help you master the art of cooking French, Italian, or Mexican food.
Consider learning to cook a dish that’s new to your group. For example, if no one in your group has tried Korean or Indian food, look for classes that teach you how to cook authentic Korean or Indian meals.
Attend a Paint and Sip
Many local areas have stores that help you create a painting. Most of them offer some type of adult-only classes that allow you to have a few drinks while you learn, making them ideal for your next girls’ night out.
Sometimes these businesses actually host their events at local bars or restaurants so their guests don’t have to worry about bringing alcoholic beverages with them.
Thrift Store Shopping
How about planning an outing with your crew to spend the day or evening shopping at thrift stores? This is a great idea for any group of friends who are always on the hunt for a good deal, but even if your friends aren’t bargain shoppers, thrifting can still be fun.
Consider challenging each girl in your group to find their entire outfit, down to the shoes, while you’re thrifting. Then, everyone has to wear their finds when you go out in the evening. It’ll be fun to see who snags the coolest stuff or who has the most creative outfit.
Craft Night In
If your crowd is more of the “stay at home” type, consider hosting a craft night. You can choose a craft and provide the supplies for everyone or have each of your friends bring a craft project with them to complete.
Alternatively, you can try to learn a new craft. There are tons of tutorials on YouTube, so gather the necessary supplies, set up the instructional videos, and learn something new.
Basically, you can turn any activity into a girls’ night out (or in) activity. Just choose something you think everyone in your group will enjoy and start planning.
