Let out your artistic side. Go as a group to a pottery painting class or workshop in your local area, or host your own DIY version at home if you have the resources. Take it seriously or paint your wildest creations — it’s up to you!
6. Cooking Class
If you and your friends love to cook, attending a cooking class is a lovely bonding idea. Look for a class that introduces you to a new dish or cuisine that you’ve always wanted to try.
7. Self-Care Day
In our busy lives, it’s not easy to take time out to look after ourselves. For your next girls’ night idea, why not try hosting a self-care day? Make a vision board, try meditation, order your favorite takeout, and spend the evening relaxing in a mindful way.
8. Girls’ Photoshoot
If you’re looking for a fun thing to do together, we love the idea of arranging a group photoshoot. Why should engaged couples and grads have all the fun? Choose your favorite outfits, and book a photographer to capture precious memories of you all together.
9. Book Club
Design: Signature Greenvelope
For a girls’ night idea that doubles as a delightful new habit, try starting a book club with your besties. Choose a date and time to meet up, and discuss the book you’re reading, accompanied by hot drinks (or cocktails/mocktails) and a cozy atmosphere.
The Foiled Book Club Invitation is the perfect fit to send to all your friends.
10. Art Gallery Night
Look out for when there’s a new gallery show or opening night and plan to meet there to enjoy the artwork. Discuss your favorite pieces and learn something new about the artist(s), then follow your gallery experience with dinner.

You’re never too old for a pajama party! Grab your favorite PJs, and plan a slumber party filled with classic movies, popcorn, pizza, and late night gossip. Extend the celebration with brunch in the morning.

If there’s a big sporting event coming up, get together to watch the event either in person or on a big screen somewhere. Support your favorite team, and show your love of the game in the company of your besties.
13. Workout Class
Whether exercise is a big part of your life or not, going to a workout class as a group is a fun way to get your body moving and spend time together. Try a yoga, pilates, spinning, or martial arts class.

19. Fancy Dinner
Sometimes there’s nothing better than getting dressed up and heading to a restaurant for a sophisticated dinner. Set a date for you and your besties to meet up, toast your friendship, and enjoy a delicious meal together — or host a dinner party at home.
20. Karaoke Night
Make it ladies night at your local karaoke bar by booking a booth and filling the playlist with empowering songs that’ll get you singing and dancing. If you don’t have a karaoke bar nearby, set up a karaoke machine at home and sing your hearts out.

Design: Anna K Design
Learn something new about mixology and get a masterclass in how to make your favorite cocktails from a mixologist as part of a cocktail party. Host a class at home or book an experience at a local bar to uncover some expert tips on how to craft tasty cocktails and mocktails.

22. Paint and Sip
If you can’t decide between a wine-tasting experience or an art night, a paint and sip is the perfect way to combine the two. Attempt to paint a masterpiece as you sip on a selection of wines, with plenty of charcuterie boards and mini desserts on hand for when you get hungry.
23. Dance Night
Invite your best girl friends for a night of dancing and laughter. Play a dance game on your go-to console, learn a dance routine and perform it together, or simply blast your favorite songs and get moving!
24. Camp in the Backyard

25. Themed Party
Design: Owl and Toad
You don’t need an excuse like a birthday party to dress up and enjoy a themed night. Sometimes just getting together with the girls is excuse enough! There are so many party themes to choose from — host a 90s party, a masquerade party, a murder mystery party, or anything that sounds like fun to you.
When it comes to inviting your crew, there are tons of themed invitation options. For example, if you’re taking it back to disco and bell-bottoms, send the That 70s Party Invitation.
