Book your babysitters. Let Dad take care of the kids. Ship them off to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house. Put on your best women’s clothing because it’s time for your fun night out. You’ve more than earned your mom’s night out. You might be so excited that you don’t know where to even begin. That’s why we’ve come up with our list of ten fun mom’s night out ideas.
1. Ladies’ Movie Night
Get together with your friends and put together a ladies’ movie night. They’re easy to plan and sure to lead to some memorable moments with your girlfriends. If you all are on a tight budget, or if you’re looking for a more lowkey activity to do together, a ladies’ movie night can be a fun and inexpensive way to spend time together. Add a bunch of your favorite movies to your watch list for a movie marathon night.
2. Sunday Brunch
If you’re not able to go out at night or prefer some daytime bonding activities instead, try a Sunday brunch get-together. No boozy brunch is complete without mimosas. We’re drooling at the very thought of lemon ricotta pancakes and a morning burrito right now. Find a cute brunch spot near you and enjoy brunch with your girlfriends or other fellow moms. Give your brunch look a new vibe with trendy tops for women.
3. Go Hiking
Sitting around and eating avocado toast or watching yet another rom-com may not be your thing. Maybe you prefer being active or sweating it out. In that case, get in your steps and take in some great views by going hiking. If you’re looking to go hiking in the late afternoon or early evening, consider making an overnight camping trip with your girlfriends. Otherwise, you can spend the day doing a day hike.
4. Rock Climbing
If you love hiking, you’ll probably want to try rock climbing. While outdoor rock climbing may not be everyone’s cup of tea, indoor rock climbing can be a much more enjoyable and approachable experience for any rock climbing newbie. You’ll burn some serious calories and have a lot of fun along the way, even if it seems a bit scary from the top! Even if you’re new to rock climbing, there are trained professionals at indoor rock climbing venues that can help show you the ropes — literally.
5. Cooking or Baking Class
Try something new by taking a cooking or baking class. Maybe there’s a cuisine you’ve always wanted to try. Perhaps there’s a certain baking skill you’ve always wanted to master or learn more about. These kinds of classes can be great bonding sessions with your girlfriends, and the best part is you’ll be able to try your yummy recipes after the class is done. You can also hire a private chef to help teach the class from the comfort of your own home.
6. Spa Day
It’s time for a little rest and relaxation. Go on and have a spa day with your best mom friends. You can book a day spa together where you can go to the pool, sauna, and get some massages. Every mom needs a revitalizing facial and deep tissue massage every now and then to recharge. If you prefer a more intimate or lowkey experience, go over to someone’s place and have the personal masseuses come to you.
7. Shopping Spree
Want to go on a shopping spree without having to go in person and deal with the stresses of waiting online or finding parking? Shop together by having a glass of wine or cup of tea together while shopping from the comfort of someone’s home. Browse a favorite women’s boutique clothing online store together to mix and match different styles and get inspired by each other’s favorites.
8. Dance the Night Away
When’s the last time you went dancing? Put on your best dancing shoes and have fun listening to some of your favorite songs and breaking a sweat. Consider doing a dancing class if you can use some new moves. If you’re going to be dancing the night away with your girlfriends, dress the part in some chic dresses for all of you to wear.
9. Rage Room
Remember that scene in Office Space where they smash the printer? You can do that in real life in a rage room near you. You can break and smash objects in these smash rooms or anger rooms. Release your inhibitions and let out some stress as you take a sledgehammer and bang on some old kitchen replicas or televisions.
10. Book Club
Make your ladies’ night out a monthly event by putting together a monthly book club. According to a survey from Penguin Random House, 29% of those surveyed meet with their book clubs on a monthly basis. Consider starting or joining a book club to build in a fun mom night at least once a month for yourself and for making new friends.
