There are countless ways to host a get-together, and an endless variety of parties to throw. In today’s world, it seems like many moms are drawn to online gatherings promoting products like leggings (hello, LuLaRoe!), skincare lines, cookbooks, herbal teas, and eco-friendly cleaning supplies. While those are all delightful options, I’m left wondering: Is that really all there is? Seriously? The possibilities are limitless!
Sometimes, I yearn for a party that focuses on pure enjoyment rather than sales pitches. Think of something fun and laid-back, like a wine and painting night. I may not be an artist and my skills could take a nosedive after a glass (or two) of chardonnay, but who cares? It’s not about perfection. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Here are a few ideas for parties I’d love to attend, whether online or in person:
Cheese Tasting Extravaganza
Let’s be honest—who doesn’t love cheese? Anyone who says they don’t is either lying or out of their mind. Cheese is incredible, and it’s only leaving my hands if they’re pried away from my cold, dead fingers. Picture everyone bringing their favorite cheeses, along with crackers, meats, and fruits. You can lay it all out on beautiful platters and enjoy a fancy night without the fuss. Wine? Totally optional.
Netflix and Literally Chill
Imagine this: everyone picks a movie, grabs their favorite snacks, dons their pajamas, and syncs up for a movie night. Create a group chat to react to the wild plot twists. This way, you can chat about the film without anyone shushing you—because that’s the point! Plus, you can enjoy a movie without ever having to step outside.
“Real Housewives” Bash
Get together dressed as your favorite Housewife, decked out in faux jewels and plenty of sass. You can kick back, enjoy a few drinks, and engage in some playful drama. Bonus points if you bring a cute little dog or your most henpecked husband for extra laughs.
Massage Soiree
What could be better than a blissful massage? Everyone can take turns experiencing a tension-busting massage, followed by refreshing margaritas. Talk about a winning combination!
Clothing Swap
Bring clothes you no longer wear, or share them in a group album, and shop through each other’s closets. You can refresh your wardrobe while feeling great about decluttering! While you may not clear out space in your closet, at least you won’t feel guilty about the shopping spree.
Recipe Exchange Party
Given how many of us share our culinary creations on social media, why not hold a party dedicated to swapping recipes? Guests can bring samples of their dishes or collaborate on making meals together.
Adult Slumber Party
Who says slumber parties are just for kids? Let’s embrace nostalgia with unicorn onesies, pillow fights, and midnight cookie baking. Throw in some truth or dare and pancakes for breakfast, and you’ve got a hit party on your hands.
Home Renovation Gathering
Not the kind of renovation that involves heavy lifting, but rather light DIY projects like painting a room or repurposing furniture. Or just kick back and watch HGTV while enjoying a drink!
Beauty Night
How about hiring a couple of local stylists for a pampering session, or whipping up DIY face masks inspired by Pinterest? Either way, it’s bound to be a fun evening.
Fitness Gatherings
For those who struggle with motivation, team up with friends for a workout adventure—whether it’s a spin class or a beginner yoga session. Afterwards, celebrate your efforts with some well-deserved food.
Parties don’t have to revolve around sales pitches or special occasions. They can simply be about enjoying each other’s company and having fun! Now, where’s that margarita? And can someone please help with this kink in my neck?
