Spending time with friends is something that I value, especially the girls that I call my best friends. Some of the best memories that we have made have been just simply spending time together and being in each other’s presence. So, here is a list for your next “girls’ night”.
One idea that I think is great for a girls’ night, that we participate in often, is a “cheese night”; This is something that can be so simple and so fun. Usually, when we do this, we go out to the store and buy a bunch of different cheeses,
snacks, crackers, and fruit, and set it up in an arrangement on a charcuterie board. Along with this, we usually put on a movie or a television show, and simply enjoy each other’s presence. I believe that this is a very versatile girls’ night idea because you don’t have to make a cheese charcuterie board, you can make a sweet treat board or even a dip board, all of which you can make yourself or buy premade. This is something that you can plan on a whim or
plan in advance to just simply be around your friends to have a good time.
Another girls’ night idea that is always a good time is to have a game night. With this, you can bring snacks and drinks, and have everyone bring a different kind of game. You can play board games like monopoly, or card games like Cards Against Humanity, or you can play video games such as Just Dance. If you wanted to make teams out of it, you could play trivia-based games and pictionary. Then, finally, if you want to expand your options, there are so many games on the app store that you can download such as Heads Up. Game night allows for friendly competition and also lets everyone be able to participate and have some fun.
Girls’ night’s don’t have to be complicated – they could be something as simple as a movie night. You can make this something that turns into a
once a week thing, or you can watch multiple movies in one night if you have the time. You can make the room feel cozy by turning off all the lights; remember to have snacks like popcorn and candy ready. Then, pick a movie or even movie series that you want to watch. If the series is longer, you can turn movie night into a once a week activity and watch one movie a week until the series is over, then you can pick a new one. Luckily, there are so many streaming services and movies out there that you can never run out of
options.
Finally, the fourth girls’ night idea that could be fun is doing a paint or a craft night. You and your friends could go to Target, Walmart, or Michaels, and buy some canvases or air dry clay and spend the night making crafts and paintings. It is something that can be very relaxing and get everyone in the same room at the same time. Along with this, having craft or paint night can be something to help relieve stress and give everyone a distraction from everything else going on with their school and personal lives. Having a girls’ night is something that can create so many memories with your friend group and the options of what you can do are endless. If you are willing to spend a bit of money, you can do a cheese night or a paint night, and if you are on a budget, you can have a movie night or game night. The thing that matters most is that you are able to get together and spend time with the people you care about stress levels.
