How to Host a Girl's Night

Girl's Night at Christmas time

Between work, cleaning, chores, taking care of the kids and pets and making time for exercise, there is very little room in your schedule to have a night to yourself. Getting a bunch of the gals together can be even harder. It's almost as if you have to make an excuse to get together and if that is the case, then go ahead and make one. You deserve it. Use the guide below to plan your evening.

Instructions

1. Pick a date and a location to host a girl's night out.

2. Invite the girls using whatever means you are most comfortable. Make phone calls, drop an email, send a formal invitation or send an electronic invitation through the website Evite.

3. Decide on a theme for the evening. It could just be a get together for lunch, dinner, snacks or drinks, or you can make it more elaborate and relate it to a shared interest. For example, have a craft night and ask the girls to bring whatever craft project they'd like to work on; have a sports night centered around munchies and whatever game is on; or have spa night and give each other manicures and pedicures.

4. Assign a food dish or snack for each person attending to bring with them.

5. Clean and decorate the house according to your theme if you have one.

6. Clear your schedule and make arrangements for the rest of the family so you can have the night to yourself, then have fun.
