In today’s world, the options for hosting a gathering are as diverse as the themes themselves. While many mothers seem to gravitate towards online parties featuring items like leggings (hello, LuLaRoe!), skincare products, books, teas, and eco-friendly cleaning supplies, I can’t help but wonder: is that really all there is? The potential for unique celebrations is practically limitless.
Sometimes, I yearn for a gathering that’s simply about enjoyment rather than selling. Picture a wine and painting night—I may not be the next Picasso, and after a few glasses of chardonnay, my artistic skills might take a nosedive, but who cares? It’s all about the experience. Surely, I’m not alone in this sentiment. Here are some party concepts that I would love to see, whether in person or online:
Cheese Tasting Fiesta
If anyone claims they don’t adore cheese, they’re either lying or misguided. Cheese is simply divine, and it feels like a crime to even consider giving it up! Imagine a gathering where everyone brings their favorite cheeses, crackers, cured meats, and fruits. Display them beautifully on platters for an elegant touch. Wine, of course, is optional.
Netflix and Literally Chill Gathering
Invite friends to choose their favorite film, grab their go-to snacks, and don cozy pajamas as you sync up to watch the movie simultaneously. Create a group chat to share reactions throughout the viewing, making it a fun and interactive experience—no one will mind if you “talk” during the movie, since that’s the whole point!
“Reality Royalty” Gathering
Everyone can come dressed as their favorite reality TV star, complete with flashy jewelry and plenty of drama. Engage in lively discussions about trivial topics, and if the mood strikes, a playful drink toss (just for laughs, of course). Extra points for the best tiny dog or most henpecked partner!
Massage Soiree
There’s nothing quite like a soothing massage, especially when combined with a refreshing margarita. Gather your friends and treat yourselves to a blissful massage session, followed by sipping on delicious drinks. Sounds delightful, right?
Clothing Swap Soiree
Encourage everyone to bring clothes they no longer wear or upload images into a group album, allowing for a fun closet exchange. You might not create extra space in your closet, but at least you won’t feel guilty about your new acquisitions!
Recipe Exchange Party
With so many of us sharing our culinary creations online, why not hold a gathering to swap recipes? Guests can bring samples of their dishes or try cooking together as a group, creating delicious memories and learning from each other.
Adult Slumber Party
Who says slumber parties are just for kids? Embrace your inner child with unicorn onesies, pillow fights, baking cookies, and playing classic games like Truth or Dare. Pancakes in the morning? Yes, please!
Home Renovation Gathering
Not to be confused with a DIY disaster, this party can focus on fun projects like painting a room, reupholstering furniture, or simply watching HGTV while sipping drinks. It’s all about creativity and camaraderie.
Beauty Bash
Invite local stylists for a glam session or organize a DIY face mask making event using Pinterest recipes. Everyone leaves feeling fabulous!
Fitness Gathering
For those who struggle to exercise alone (raises hand), rally friends for a fun fitness class like spin or beginner yoga. Celebrate your efforts afterward with a meal—you’ve earned it!
These gatherings show that parties don’t need to revolve around sales or special occasions. Now, hand me that margarita and let someone work the knot out of my neck.
