History

Thanks to Ketel One, National Girls’ Night In Day started in 2018. They created the day to encourage women to relax and enjoy a break.

Celebrated on September 22, it highlights the importance of taking time for oneself and reconnecting with friends. This day quickly became a beloved tradition for many.

The idea of “Girls’ Night In” itself gained popularity before 2018, as more people started valuing self-care and wellness.

By setting aside a specific day for it, Ketel One tapped into a growing trend. They aimed to make women feel special and remind them of the joy of spending time together without the need to go out.

This celebration reminds us to cherish our connections in our busy lives. It stresses the value of pausing our routines to make memories with our friends.

Over the years, September 22 has become more than just a date. It’s a day to laugh, share, and strengthen bonds, marking its importance in the calendar as a day of friendship and relaxation.


How to celebrate

Spa Night Extravaganza

Kick things off with a DIY spa night. Gather all your face masks, nail polish, and cucumber slices. It’s like bringing the spa to your living room but with more giggles and possibly less skillful nail painting. Light some scented candles, play relaxing music, and let the pampering begin. Who needs a professional spa when you’ve got friends and face masks?

Movie Marathon Madness

Next up, dive into a movie marathon. Not just any movies, though. Think of the cheesiest, most laugh-out-loud romantic comedies you’ve missed or the classic hits you can quote by heart. It’s about the joy of sharing those “aww” and “haha” moments, all from the comfort of your couch.

Creative Kitchen Capers

Now, why not unleash your inner chef? Cooking together is not just about the food (though that’s a big plus). It’s about the mess, the fun, and the taste tests. Decide on a new recipe to tackle together or go wild with a bake-off challenge. The goal? Laughter and maybe something edible by the end. Don’t worry; pizza delivery is your backup plan.

Virtual Vibes

For friends far away, a virtual girls’ night in has its charm. Set up a video call, choose an activity like an online game or a crafting project, and start the fun. It’s about feeling close, even when miles apart. Plus, you can still wear pajamas, and no one has to drive home afterward. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
