- Since elementary school girls and teenagers both enjoy slumber parties, why not grown women too? Today's girly themes include women's slumber parties. Invite several friends over. Serve champagne and birthday cake, have a cosmetic or home lingerie consultant come and demonstrate new products, and bring several items of unwanted clothing for a fun clothing swap.
- Make reservations at a ritzy restaurant, and invite five or six of your favorite friends. Make personalized place settings, and include a small token of appreciation for their friendship such as candles, perfume or jewelry. Dress up and enjoy the evening.
- Invite friends over for movies and dinner. Serve wine with salsa and chips, brick oven pizza and a birthday cake and ice cream. Choose movies from the old classics, such as Breakfast at Tiffany's or Gone With the Wind.
- Host a salon and spa date for several girlfriends. Book a salon together and have manicures and pedicures. Later, go dancing at a nightclub and show off those nails.
- Throw a shopping and luncheon bash. Meet at a favorite mall, and peruse stores together. Set a time to go for lunch, and show-n-tell. Maybe choose a movie theatre for the afternoon's entertainment and see a chick flick together.
- Find a local hotel that specializes in afternoon tea. Bring some friends, and spend the whole afternoon chatting, catching up and drinking tea. Make everyone wear a hat, Oprah-style. Be sure to take pictures of the event, and mail everyone a copy afterwards.
