Getting married is a big, life changing decision for any gal! How couldn’t it be? Practically everything about your life changes when you get married, including friendships. Another person enters your life in a big way; you’re bound in holy matrimony and he/she becomes one of the most important persons in your life. This is not to say that your bffs don’t matter after you get married, but yes the centre of your world might change a bit.
So before one you says ‘i do’, here are some fun things for your girl gang to do together (maybe) one last time to make lifelong memories…!
1. Plan the road trip of your life!
While an all girls’ road trip is not a very original idea for your girl gang to do, it is a must do. We’ve seen movies, music videos and read books about girls going on a road trip across the country, but have you taken that girl gang road trip yet? If you have, well then good for you, however, you then also have enough experience to make you want to go on another. But if you haven’t, you’re really missing out on something truly amazing and memorable. Just call your girls, tell them you’re going on a road trip, pack your bags, update your Spotify list and get going! You could even finish off your road trip with a luxury Extended Stay hotel and get to experience all that New York City has to offer! You are going to have a fantastic time together, seeing new places and making memories to last you a lifetime, and more importantly, you will bond like you’re family. Not to forget the amount of gossip and laughter that will make you want to rewind time and relive each moment again!
2. Junk food and chick flick night
In the times of conscious living and eating, wouldn’t you love just one night of hogging on all your favourite junk foods with your favourite girls while enjoying your favourite chick flicks? Living this idea is going to be way better than reading about it. So go ahead and plan a night of your favourite pizzas, burgers, cakes, brownies and everything that you’ve been cutting down on because of your health. After pampering your body with all the healthy snacks, it’s time to pamper your taste buds with all your favourite eatables.
3. Hen night
No girl should get married without getting a hen party thrown for her! It’s your job ladies to ensure that your girlfriend doesn’t get to kiss her husband without having an entire night dedicated to her girls. Whether you plan to have a destination hen party in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris or just at the neighbourhood bar, you need to take the bride-to-be out for a girls night out before she says ‘i do’. So don’t miss out on this exclusive event for your girl gang’s first bride.
4. Get pampered and enjoy a spa day
There is something very relaxing about a spa day with your girls. When you’re busy planning the wedding and getting so much done, it’s always a good idea to take a break and plan a spa day with your besties. Every bride-to-be loses her cool at least once in the middle of all the wedding planning. So the moment your bride friend loses her cool, you know it’s time for a girls’ spa day out. So get cucumbers on your eyes, mani pedi on your fingers and toes and make a day of it!
There are many other events you can add to this list. So don’t hesitate to add a couple more things for you and your girl gang to do. The idea is to make as many memories together, doing fun and relaxing things before one of you gets married because it’ difficult (not impossible, though) to find time to spend with each other after the wedding. So make the most of the times when your friend is still single, a bachelorette and get girl gang-ing!
