Last week my girlfriend and I hosted a "Wear Red She Said" girls night out and we had a most excellent time. From girly charades, to sharing nicknames and bedtime attire secrets, I think everyone went home with a smile of their face. Hey, getting a minor break from the real world (kids, laundry, husbands:D, dirty bathrooms) is enough to put a smile on anyone's face~right?!AGENDA: Everyone was asked to wear the color red and bring a $10 gift that reflected them and/or a gift they would buy for themself. This was a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better-maybe a little TMI:)-and enjoy the gift of girlfriends. Food, games and most importantly...LAUGHTER are a few things that made the evening a success. So what are you waiting for? It's your turn to host the party of the year!
Here's a glimpse...
Drinks all around! Margarita's, Pina Colada's, Cinderella's, Mojito's. All NON-alcoholic mind you! It just goes to show that you DO NOT need alcohol to have a great girl night!! A drunken princess is anything but classy, cool or sexy! Ick!

"CINDERELLA" (drink recipe)
Equal parts of orange and pineapple juice
a dash grenadine
1 splash club soda
1 splash sour mix
Garnish: orange slice and cherry
Shake all the ingredients together, except the soda, and pour into a Collins glass. Top up with the soda and garnish. Rub rim of glass with fresh lime or lemon and dip into sugar. Total fancy cuteness!
BTW: We made a special trip to IKEA to pick up very inexpensive fancy glasses for all our drinking concoctions! FUN....FUN!
THIS website is a really fun resource for GNO's.
Oh. My. GOSH. This song (Lady In Red) reminds me of HIGH SCHOOL. I went to a prom wearing RED with this boy who I'd taken dance with, and he twirled me all over the dance floor in my red dress for this song. It was way cool....
ReplyDeleteOk, that was a nice trip down memory lane. :) Looks like a fun party!
What a great night we had! Thanks for the fun time. Oh and nice picture of me and the cherry :-) Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute, fun idea!
ReplyDeletefrom the diamond castle movie... "I feel rejected, so rejected!" If peeps is driving from P town, surely she can swing by and pick up a sista.
ReplyDeleteI recognize those mojitos...they have a certain LF flare! She was there wasn't she!! Maybe she is hiding because she doesn't want me to feel bad that I WASN'T INVITED. ha!
Love your guts!
your blog really does make my day.
WAHOOO for the girls night out!! I LOVE those who share it's importance.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favs is dustin the ole' hills off and shakin my booty.
One I've REALLY wanted to do is 70's night. Everyone pic a funky outfit and meet at the roller skating rink. Or how bout' an 80's bowling night. That's right! I wanna see how high you can get your hair...not to mention the laughs everyone would have.
