How To Have A Girls' Night In
If you're tired of getting all gussied up for another disappointing bar crawl, a night in can be the perfect excuse to get together with your best friends without all the make-up.
-
Step 1:
-
Set The Mood
-
Call all your girls and tell them you're staying in tonight. Ask them to bring PJs and toothbrushes for a sleepover. This way no one has to drink, then drive. Set up lots of pillows and cozy lighting. This creates a relaxing environment where the girls will feel comfortable sharing any thoughts or feelings.
-
Step 2:
-
Adult Beverages
-
Stock up the bar - you'll need to have something for everyone's tastes. Or, keep it simple with a theme - mix margaritas or try a wine tasting. Just remember: more than two or three drinks usually spells hangover... so encourage everyone to drink water, keep an eye on the heaviest drinkers, and just in case, stock up on Alka-Seltzer.
-
Step 3:
-
Snacks
-
Women like food even more than alcohol sometimes, so get it out early. Sample a variety of cheeses with the wine … or dip chips and guacamole with those margaritas... But DON'T forget the chocolate. Bad things can happen when a bunch of women are craving chocolate...ugly.
-
Step 4:
-
Enterntainment
-
There's only so long that you can sit around and talk about your mothers... or men... or is there? Don't forget diversions like manis and pedis ...facials...the karaoke machine... take a Cosmo Quiz and compare results. But don't stress... in the end, it's the talk and bonding that matter.
-
Step 5:
-
Friendly fight
-
Sometimes when girls get drunk, girls talk trash. And cat fights can ensue, so suggest a pillow fight. This will alleviate any aggression and promote healthy communication. Besides, a little disagreement can ultimately bring women closer... or at least it does on Dynasty or Desperate Housewives. So, group hug and goodnight.
