Epic Nightouts: Five Ways to Have an Epic Ladies Night Out

“I always seem to come alive after midnight. I feel like the world is mine”-Dau Voire. 

A girl’s night out has always been trivialized on modern media. In most sitcom portrayals, it is only seen as an avenue for a woman to get over a man who broke her heart and through the course of the night, endeavors to find another one. Other movie portrayals would epitomize a ladies’ night out as a celebration of camaraderie or a teenager’s induction into the adult world of booze and bad decisions.

However, in the real world, a ladies night out can be as tame or as legendary as you wish it to be—depending on how the night goes. If you have been dreaming (and planning) for the perfect night out that is a perfect balance between remarkable and memorable, you might want to take a gander at this list before plotting out your Saturday itinerary in some Makati bars:

1.)    Choose place that fits everyone’s interests and preferences 

Before heading out, be sure that you and your friends would decide on a place which everyone feels comfortable in going to. Consider that you will not be the only one having a good time. In order to ensure that you will have an epic night that you and your girlfriends will reminisce about in years to come, choose a favorable place that meets everyone’s interests and not just two or three out of the group. After all, you would not have too much of a fun time if one of you would be sitting and sulking in a corner.

2.)    Choose the people you invite carefully 

Do not be arbitrary when it comes to your invite list and do not simply add random people to your group just so you can have a bigger party. Everyone you invite should be on board with what you and your friends are planning to do. In this regard, you will effectively eliminate any grudges, bad-mouthing, jealousy or envy that might develop through the night and cause you and your girlfriends to disband earlier. Remember, breaking up a cat fight is not a good way to end the night.

3.)    Take as many photos as you can 

Level up your selfie game for this night and immortalize the memories you will inevitably be making with your friends. As you cannot expect to commit every aspect of the night to memory, it is best if you break out your phones and took many photos. In the years to come, you will soon look at these photos and recall the legendary night you went on.

4.)    Impose a No-Phone Rule

Before entering the bar, ensure that you and your friends agree that no one would be taking out phones unless it is to take photos or answer emergency calls. This ensures that every one of you can focus on having a good time instead of needlessly staring at the phone screen. After all, this night is about catching up with friends or bonding, messages from your boyfriends, bosses and the like can wait until later.

5.)    Dance like no one is watching 

If you have never danced before in your life, perhaps this might be the perfect time for you to bust a move. Consider stepping out of your comfort zone and join your girlfriends on the dancefloor—especially if you are the only one that is left sitting at the bar. It does not matter whether you are terrible at dancing as chances are, no one is even going to notice at all. Dancing is fun, relieves stress and actually takes your mind off so many things. A good tip would be to bring extra shoes (flats preferably) so that when your feet get tired, you can easily slip into something more comfortable.
