If you are a mommy, you’ll need a break from the chaos at some point. That goes for busy professionals and stay-at-home moms because the stress levels run high for both. An evening with your besties is a great way to unwind and relax.
In fact, a mommy break with other moms will make you feel alive again. But planning one may actually seem overwhelming. How to have fun without feeling stressed? Well, you needn’t do a lot to host a girl’s night out. Just trust your instinct and do everything your gang loves.
We’ve got some tips to help you plan a great evening without spending big or making loads of effort. Let’s dive in, shall we?
Carve out the time
That’s the trickiest part for busy moms, right? You may not get time with your tight schedules. Coordinating with your gang may be even more challenging. But carve time for yourself in the first place.
Look at your schedule, align it with your besties, and mark a day or night. You need not think of anything else. Ask your partner to hold the fort and enjoy the evening because you deserve it.
Recruit your squad
Do you have that group of besties you want to have a good time with? They’ll surely want a break as much as you do. Connect with them and start planning the ultimate night out with them.
Prepare your guest list in advance so that you don’t miss out on anyone in your group. The more, the merrier!
Pick a theme
Spice things up by picking a theme for the evening. You can explore ideas like a 90s throwback night, a cozy pajama party, or a glamorous red carpet affair. A games night with a card game like Rubbish Options is a great idea.
Nothing gets more exciting than the unexpected twists and turns of the game. Music and dance go well with any theme. And do have lots of drinks and snacks at hand.
Keep the memories alive
Don’t forget to keep the memories alive, ladies! You can do it by capturing the moments with selfies, videos, and group photos. Create a Whatsapp group, and share them with each other so that you can relive the memories after the night is over.
You may post some pictures on social media and keep others private with your gang. You don’t need to show everything.
Unplug and disconnect
You need a real break, moms! So make sure no one calls you when you are with your gang of besties. Ensure everyone follows the rule of unplugging and disconnecting so that you can focus on having a good time together.
Let your partner take care of your kids and home. Trust them to handle things; they’ll probably surprise you with their efficiency.
Planning a night to remember with your besties is a breeze, provided you do not take it as a chore. Just do what you love and unleash your inner wild child. You deserve a mommy break, so make the most of it!
