Going out is expensive, exhausting, and requires wearing real pants. Sometimes the move is just getting the girls together at your place, ordering an obscene amount of food, and debriefing on life.
But a great girls' night in requires a little bit of planning to ensure it doesn't just turn into everyone scrolling on their separate phones in silence. Here is the checklist for a top-tier night in.
1. The Dress Code
Mandatory pajamas. The coziness level needs to be maximum. This is the perfect time to coordinate fits for a cute group photo (if you don't document it, did it even happen?).
2. The Activity (Besides Talking)
You need a low-stakes activity to keep things moving. Here's a couple:
-
At-Home Facials: Everyone bring their Sephora hoard and trade products.
-
Vision Boarding: Get the magazines and glue sticks out and manifest your future lives.
3. The Sustenance
Do not try to cook. This is lazy Sunday energy on a Friday night. Order the pizzas, get the spicy vodka pasta, get the Crumbl cookies. Diet starts Monday.
4. The ambiance
Lighting is key. No overhead lights allowed. Lamps and candles only.
