There’s something sacred about girls’ night. It's when the masks come off (or go on, depending on your skincare agenda), and in the midst of ordinary girl behavior we experience the extraordinary joys of girlhood, no matter how old we are. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, healing a broken heart, or just craving connection, the theme sets the tone. Will it be playful? Dramatic? Whimsical? Elegant?

Now tally up your answers and see which letter you chose most frequently!

Mostly A’s: Ina Garten Night

Think elevated domestic goddess. Light candles. Make something from scratch. Wear your nicest robe or relaxed dress. This night is for cozy luxury, friendship, and remembering that “store-bought is fine,” but handmade is pure love.

Mostly B’s: Eras Night

Break out the glitter, the girlhood, and the Taylor Swift playlist. Each guest dresses in the Eras tour style and of course, making beaded bracelets is a top priority! Bonus points if it involves karaoke and choreographies.

Mostly C’s: Schiaparelli Night

This night is high fashion, high drama. Wear black and gold. Watch an art film. Talk about beauty, absurdity, and love. Design surreal accessories from junk drawer treasures. You are the muse now.

Mostly D’s: Alice in Wonderland Night

Enter the whimsical unknown. Tea party tablescapes, “eat me” cookies, and silly games with mysterious rules. You’re not here to be normal, you’re here to be curious.

Mostly E’s: Grandma’s Hobbies Night

You’re channeling your inner Golden Girl. Embroidery, puzzles, old love songs, and stories about your childhood crushes. The vibe? Vintage. Feminine. Eternal.

Mostly F’s: Literary Cottagecore Night

A night of soft candlelight, handwritten poetry, classical music, and floral everything. Bring your favorite quote, wear linen, and write letters you might never send.

Mostly G’s: French Femme Fatale Night

This is not your average girls’ night. Think noir movies, jazz records, and candlelit confessions. You’re not hosting the night, you’re directing it. Seduction, sophistication, sisterhood.

Mostly H’s: Glow-Up Night

You’re in your self-reclamation era. This girls’ night is all about glow-ups from the inside out. Clean beauty swaps, vision boarding, healing talks, and magnesium mocktails. Soft, slow, sacred.
