How To Throw The Best Ladies’ Night Party
Is there ever a bad time to get together with your girls? We doubt it! Given that Charleston is the mecca of food, while Savannah dazzles everyone with its nightlife, you have more than enough opportunities to have unforgettable outings. However, as fun as these experiences are, they can drain your wallet. On top of that, the organized events may not be the most exciting for your group, so you may quickly get overwhelmed trying to plan the ultimate girls’ night out. If that’s the case, you need to step out of the box and host a ladies’ night party no one will forget!
Hosting ladies’ night at home is the perfect way to break away from the hustle, let your hair down, and have fun! As adults, your schedule is constantly filled with so many tasks that you rarely have the time to catch up with your closest ones. This is more than enough reason to gather your girls and organize a ladies’ party – on your terms! But if this is your first time organizing such an event (no, the slumber parties you had in your teens don’t count), you may feel stumped about where to start. This is where we, the Cocktail Boys, come in!
Plan a Ladies’ Night Party
As professional hosts with so many successful events of our caliber, the Cocktail Boys have picked up a thing or two to make your ladies’ night party simply amazing. So, thanks to our expertise, we’ve created this simple-to-follow guide, getting you one step closer to the best night with your girls! With that said, find a free slot in your schedule, and let’s get planning!
Step One – Gather Your Girls!
You can’t have a ladies’ night party without your girls, right? So, update them in your group chat and tell them to prepare for a thrilling night! Of course, don’t feel obligated to invite every girl you know. On the contrary, your guestlist should be very small, meaning ask only the girls you feel absolutely comfortable with. This night will be special just for you, so the more intimate it is, the better.
As far as invitations go, you can go the electronic route and send them on social media. This is also the most cost-effective option since you won’t be spending a dime on them! But if you want to make the night really special, you can go above and beyond and create custom invitations. Naturally, this doesn’t mean hiring a graphic designer to do them for you. Instead, all you need is an editable template on Canva a dash of creativity, and you’re all set! Just ensure they’re on par with your ladies’ night in theme.
Step Two – Come Up With A Theme
Speaking of themes, it would be a good idea to come up with something extraordinary to make your ladies’ night party even more memorable. Anything can be a source of inspiration – you just need to put your thinking hat on. For one, if you’re planning your event in Charleston, you can use the city’s unique charm as part of your party night ideas. Get your girls to dress up in their most elegant dresses and take a step back into the Victorian Era. Bonus points for anyone who decides to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage!
In contrast, Savannah is known to have some of the spookiest history in the entire US. While this always comes in handy at Halloween, you can turn your home into a haunted mansion a bit earlier. Also, instead of having the guests come in costumes, you can make them on the spot. That said, you might want to pick up black makeup just to be on the safe side.
These themes are just two examples of what you can do, and there’s a lot more where that came from. The more creative you get, the more enjoyable your ladies’ night party will be. And if you need someone to keep the vibes going and take pictures of your spectacular night, the Cocktail Boys are at your service!
Step Three – Set Up The Space
Once you have a theme set in place, the next step is to decorate your home. This will be pretty straightforward since your theme will give you all the pointers you need. Don’t be afraid of going a bit extra! Even the smallest detail can make a world of change.
However, ensure you have enough seating space for everybody. Sitting on the floor will take you back to your teenage years, but after some time, your back might tell you it’s time to get more comfortable. You’re adults, after all!
Finally, there’s no need to pull out all the fancy glassware and china (if that’s not your theme, of course). Your ladies’ party might get a little rowdy, so plastic and paper are the way to go. Plus, this will also slash clean-up time in half!
Step Four – Prepare The Food & Drinks
When it comes to the food and refreshments, it’s always a good idea to set them up buffet-style. This way, all of your guests can pick up whatever they like, and there will be no need to go to the kitchen a million times.
Again, your theme will mostly dictate what kinds of snacks and drinks you should serve. But before you start preparing, you should ask if any of your girls have any special dietary restrictions. The last thing you want is someone to be starving at your ladies’ night in.
Still, instead of going for buffet placement, why not have someone fetch the food and drinks for you? Aside from being the best hosts ever, the Cocktail Boys can also act as prime servers like the ones you find in Michelin-starred restaurants. And you might want to pick up a bottle of champagne before the night starts. The Cocktail Boys can provide the ultimate champagne showers! Who cares if things get a bit sticky – it will be worth it!
Step Five – Come Up With Signature Cocktails
By now, you know that the Cocktail Boys can turn a simple ladies’ night party into a true spectacle. With that in mind, you should absolutely consider their most impressive skill – mixology.
As the name suggests, our boys are masterminds behind the bar. Just give them a variety of drinks, and with a few shakes and stirs, they’ll quickly whip up a tantalizing cocktail.
To make your ladies’ party more cohesive, try to come up with at least three cocktail ideas that suit the theme. You can also ask your girls to bring a bottle of their favorite liquor to save on expenses. As you already know, the Cocktail Boys can work with anything they’re given, so best believe they’ll create something truly epic. And since nothing comes close to their creations, you might want some painkillers next to you the following morning. With our boys by your side, things are sure to get pretty wild!
Step Six – Think About The Entertainment
Here comes the most exciting part of your ladies’ night party – the entertainment! You should choose the activities you’ll do depending on the atmosphere you’re going for. If you plan on a relaxed or sophisticated night, you can set up easels for a bit of wine and painting. Alternatively, transform your home into a spa sanctuary and give your girls the pampering you all deserve. You should also know that the Cocktail Boys give some of the most relaxing massages imaginable!
If you’re planning something a bit roudier, games are your best bet! Life-sized Jenga will surely elevate the vibes as everyone will struggle to be extra careful not to make the tower go down. Paired with the Boys’ cocktail, this will be funnier than you expect!
No matter the setting, there’s just one thing you need to be mindful of. Everyone needs to be comfortable with the activities you’re planning on doing – period. That said, if you’re thinking about something a bit more risqué, ask if everybody is okay with it. In case you’re feeling stumped, you can always ask your girls for ideas. By doing so, you’ll be assured all the guests will have fun!
Step Seven – Have The Time Of Your Lives!
With the scene, food, and drinks set up, your epic ladies’ night party can officially start! Make sure you give everyone a warm welcome and show them what you have prepared for the night. Introduce them to the Cocktail Boys as well since they’ll be the ones who will keep the party going. Once the night is over, thank everyone for coming, and you can even give them a small favor to remember the great time you’ve had together.
