Looking for some new ideas when it comes to your Girls’ Night Out? If you’re looking for a creative way to get friends together without the same dinner and drinks playbook, here are some great ways to get everyone out of the house for a fun night:
Permanent Jewelry
Permanent jewelry is a big trend these days. Allowing us to feel decorated and adorned all the time, the benefit of permanent jewelry is the lack of any clasp or hook. And since everything is fitted specifically to your body, there’s a bespoke element that will make the piece unique to you.
Booking a permanent jewelry artist brings shopping into your home. Plan to get some bubbly, some good music, and invite all your girlfriends. Check out Sparked Together or Mary White Jewelry for locally-owned options.
Flower Arranging
There’s a certain skill involved in flower arrangement. Learning to pair flowers and the natural greenery that grows in your yard to create beautiful tablescapes, wreaths, and bouquets can bring an elevated aesthetic to your home.
Bringing a floral artist into your next get together will allow your friends to learn a new skill and also give you an opportunity to play with beautiful flowers. And your home will smell amazing afterward.
Here are a few locations where you can try your hand at playing florist: Something’s Blooming Annapolis (mobile-bring the floral design class to you!), Wildflower Stem & Sundry, Anne Arundel Community College Floral Design personal enrichment courses
Personalized Makeup Tutorials
Our skin today is not the same skin as it was five years ago. So why are we still using the same makeup products as we were back then? It’s time for an upgrade. Booking a makeup artist allows you to have someone look at your skin and advise you what products will make you shimmer, rather than betting on the knowledge of a random YouTuber.
Girls’ Nights are meant to make us feel empowered and seen by each other. A makeup artist will help you feel beautiful in your own skin – what’s more appropriate for a girls’ night than that?

Essential Oils Party
Essential oils are all the rage – from cleaning your house to making yourself smell like you just got back from a Bali yoga retreat. Learning about essential oils from a professional allows you to know which oils are best for you and your family, and will also give you the knowledge to separate the real deal from cheap imitation “oils.” During a personalized event you’ll create your own signature scent, learn about the healing properties of oils, and bring more peace and calm into your home.
Oils are very unique, and their properties bring out our very personal details. These personalized parties give us an opportunity to really listen to each other in a fun, safe environment.
Blended Essentials in Severna Park has lots of event and workshop options for your gal group (psst: some include wine!).
