This blog post is all about Girls’ Night Activities that are sure to be a hit.

Planning a girls night in? Whether you’re celebrating something special or just need a cozy night to unwind with your besties, a well-planned night in can be just as fun (if not better!) than a night out.

From themed parties and fun games to cute crafts and heartfelt activities, there are so many creative ways to make your girls night feel meaningful, relaxing, and memorable. In this post, we’re sharing 12 must-try girls night ideas.

Themes

A theme gives your night an identity and vibe from the start. Whether it’s cozy, glam, artsy, or nostalgic. It helps guests know what to expect and gets everyone excited before they even arrive.

Themes inspire fun ideas you might not think of otherwise. For example, crafting stations, themed cocktails, or matching decor. They open the door for more Instagrammable moments and memorable experiences.

Prosecco and Pajamas

A pajama party and the theme that I saw on Tiktok by Carmen Renee had the Something Blue. Have a bottle balloon, Garland, where it looks like bubbles are pouring out of the bottle. She also had a decoupage station. It was such a cute activity because the search person got a presecco bottle to decorate.

Cake and Sip

This is a cute theme where girls could eat cake and drink their favorite beverage in a tea party or coquette style setting. Incorporate a cake decorating contest, and this is the sweetest idea for a girls night!

Color Theme Party

This is also called a favorite thing party. So the girls pic a color and they bring food, drinks, and attire that goes with the color. For example, if your color is red, you could wear a red shirt. And bring some Nacho Cheese Doritos, Koolaid and a pizza.

Crafts

Whether you’re with longtime friends or some new faces, crafting gives everyone something to do with their hands. Making conversation flow more naturally without pressure.

Painting (Mugs, Mini Paintings,candles, plant pots and Tote Bags)

A sip and paint is a very popular craft for girls’ night because there are so many activities you can choose from. You could paint some cute mugs or decorate tote bags. It’s so fun you could make this an ongoing girls’ night tradition.

Crafting is low-stress and doesn’t require anyone to be “on.” You can sip drinks, chat, and laugh while casually creating something cute.

Adding a creative twist turns a basic night in into something that feels fresh and special. Especially if you theme the craft (like romantic coasters for a rom-com night or pressed flower bookmarks for a cozy cottagecore vibe).

Friendship Bracelet/ Lipgloss Charms

Get some beads and some string and start making some friendship bracelets. If that is too old school then you could make some lip gloss charms using the beads and string. All you have to do is punch a small hole in the corner of the Summer Fridays brand lip gloss.

Pressed Flower Coasters

Do this project by getting some coaster molds and some pressed flowers. Then use Epoxy Resin and pour into the mold after mixing.

Then add pressed flowers and arrange them your liking. Be sue to wear protective gloves and gear when working with resin. You could order Respirators, gloves, and aprons in the links here.

Games

Games naturally include everyone, even the quiet or shy friends. Whether it’s a silly challenge or a team competition, games make it easy to jump in and bond

Games add structure and variety. Instead of just sitting around chatting the whole time, you get a fun change of pace that keeps the night lively.

Blind Karaoke

Girls sing on a karaoke machine to a particular song with either their backs turned to the lyrics or blindfolded. If you don’t have a Karaoke machine, the host could play the song to get them singing and then pause the music. Then, they have to keep singing the lyrics to the song.

Head Shoulders, Knee’s, Cup

This game is for a larger group 5-8 people gather around the table with a lesser amount of cups flipped downward. The host says different parts of the body (Head, Shoulders, Knees) and players have to touch that.

Then when the host says cup the players have to grab a cup. The player without a cup at the end of the round is out. The host takes a cup off the table and starts the next round. The last person standing with a cup wins the game.

Marching Game

March to the song Cotton Eye Joe in a 12 inch square you made out of tape on the floor. Either have the player close their eyes or blindfold them.

They have to march in the square with out moving out of their square. Set a timer for 30-45 seconds. The person who is closest on inside of the square at the end of the timer wins the game.

Wholesome Activities

Activities like writing love notes to each other or sharing memories give everyone a chance to express kindness and appreciation. It’s something we don’t always get to do in everyday life.

Wholesome moments tend to stick with us. Whether it’s reading a sweet note days later or remembering a heartfelt compliment, these small things leave a big emotional imprint.

Thoughtful, intentional activities show your guests that this night was more than just hanging out. It was about celebrating your friendship and making each other feel good.

Love note

Put cute envelopes on the wall with each girls name on it and every one writes sweet notes to each other and places them in the envelopes. It could be anonymous. After the party, they could take it home,e and when they need a pick-me-up, read one of the notes in your envelope.

Memory Cards

With a deck of cards, glue some 2×3 size pictures of you and your friends at different places, ages and events

Cocktail Competiton

Girls take turns preparing their favorite signature cocktails. You could make this fun by using themes like RomCom themne, ex boyfriend theme or favorite movie theme.
