Planning a Girls’ Night Out? Read This First!
A girls’ night out
is like the planets aligning: It doesn’t happen very often, and when it does,
it’s cause for an all-out celebration. It’s also like the planets aligning in
that your friends’ schedules hardly ever match up – someone is always out of
town, or busy on the weekend, or overworked or short on sleep. So it’s a small
miracle when everyone can pick a night to hit the town.

The rarity of a
great girls’ night out also means that you have to go out of your way to make
it special, to make it a fun night out that isn't boring or ordinary. And the
best way to do that is to keep three simple principles in mind: 1) start with
an unconventional activity, 2) don’t skimp on the drinks and food, and 3) cap
the night off with music and dancing. Follow those three steps and you’ll be
golden. Let’s take a closer look!
Start With an
Unconventional Activity
Every girls’ night
out needs its icebreaker, its defining, Instagrammable moment that’s unlike
anything else. You could just go to a restaurant or a club, but that would be
too “cookie cutter” to be memorable. You need an unconventional activity to
kick things off.
Recently, a lot of
groups have been really getting into axe throwing (a sport that is pretty much
exactly how it sounds) because it’s fun and exhilarating. And holding an axe
makes for an amazing photo.
Follow That With
Amazing Food and Drinks
Don’t skimp on the
food and drinks. If you’re going to get the girls together for the first night
in ages, you have to treat yourself a little, even if it means spending a bit
of money. It doesn’t have to be crazy expensive, just steer clear of anything close
to fast food. Make a reservation at a good restaurant, and don’t hold back when
ordering – especially when ordering drinks.
Small plates places
(like tapas, izakayas etc.) are really popular with crowds nowadays, because
you can sample a number of different shareable dishes. Just make sure everyone
is cool with splitting the bill evenly!
Dance the Night
Away
There is no better
place to end a girls’ night out than the dance floor. Going dancing is a
time-honored tradition among women, a time for letting loose, forgetting
worries and letting the rhythm take over. Not only is it insanely fun, but it’s
also a fast, efficient way of burning off any calories accumulated over dinner,
which is a bonus.
Not a huge fan of
dancing in a sweaty crowd? Alternatively, you can book a private karaoke room
with your friends, and sing and dance the night away without worrying about
guys trying to hit on you.
There you have it:
the perfect girls’ night out, engineered for maximum enjoyment. It doesn’t have
to be fancy or super-expensive to be memorable – it just needs a group of
amazing girlfriends, and the above three elements.
