Jan 23, 2023
If your days are starting to feel a little repetitive and boring, it might be time to call up old friends and go on an excursion.
A girls’ day out is always a great way to lift your spirits and strengthen existing relationships. If you find work or school to be stressful, a day out with the gals is also an effective way to take your mind off of your worries.
But what do you do during your day out? Are you really going to hit up the same Mexican joint for the thousandth time? To make the most out of your day, you and your friends need to try something new and exciting.
In this blog, we’re going to talk about five new ideas for a fresh and exciting day out with the girls.
- Afternoon and high tea
If you’re going to spend the whole day with friends, why not eat in style? Having afternoon and/or high tea is a great way to change things up.In Britain, afternoon tea was originally intended to fill the gap between lunch, which was served at around 12pm, and dinner, which was served at 8pm. As such, afternoon tea is usually served at around 4pm. Besides tea, it involves light treats like sandwiches, scones and cakes.High tea, on the other hand, comes from the British custom of having tea along with an assortment of meat dishes, fish, pastries, vegetables and cheese in the evening. Traditionally, high tea was taken by the working class after a long day at work. It came to be known as ‘high tea’ as it was usually taken on high-seated dinner tables. Like afternoon tea, High Tea is often served in a three-tiered serving tower.Afternoon and high tea, when professionally served, also offer a lot of aesthetic value. The fruit are cut neatly, the sandwiches crustless and the cakes are arranged in a meticulous way. The three-tiered platter also serves as a visual anchor on a table, often being the most recognised item in both afternoon tea and high tea.It’s a fancy way to eat and a great way to spend time with the girls. - Museum outings
Most art galleries and museums host plenty of free events featuring work of local and international artists, sensory experiences, installations, and exhibitions.A far cry from just sitting around a cafe table, museum outings will have you and the girls moving around and discovering all kinds of things about local culture, the city’s history and, perhaps, even yourselves.Regardless of how old you are, reading historical facts, seeing passionate paintings and witnessing the wonders of the past will always be fascinating. - Casino night
If you want something a little more daring, why not go for a casino night? The casino is undoubtedly the playground for adults. There’s alcohol, card games, slot machines, craps, roulette and other interesting and innovative ways to gamble.Of course, it’s always important to gamble responsibly. To be safe, be sure to look out for your girl-friends throughout the night. No one wants to end a fun day out with behaviour that they’ll regret for years to come.If some of you don’t like parting with your hard-earned money, you can still enjoy the night watching other people put it all on the line. - Game night
Nowadays, game night can mean a whole bunch of different things. It could mean playing poker, playing charades, playing Mario Kart or even just playing Uno. Whatever you decide to play, a game night should be low stakes and ideally gets everyone involved.Before you plan everything out, it might be a good idea to ask your friends in advance what they’re interested in playing. They might even bring something of their own (a board game or some party cards) that the whole group can have fun with.You can also read, Great ideas for your next boys night. - Karaoke
Sometimes karaoke night brings out the superstar in even the shiest of people. It’s a great (and private) way to let out some steam and sing your heart out. You don’t have to worry about disturbing the neighbours or annoying other patrons of an establishment. Everyone is free to let their inner Mariah Carey out in that karaoke room.So, whether you want to bop to a guilty pleasure song or an emotional ballad, you and the girls can do it all during karaoke night.Most karaoke bars also offer food, drinks and pretty much everything that you need to have a great night.These were just five suggestions on how to have a great girls’ day out. It’s important to just go with the flow and see what the other girls are feeling. If the museum is starting to feel like a drag, don’t be afraid to be spontaneous and change things up. At the end of the day, the aim is to not have a perfect plan but to have a great time.
