6. Girls' Night
Have an evening filled with nail-painting, facials, and chick flicks. A classic girly night. But then, nobody said that such a theme was limited to girls...

Indulge in some luxurious pampering and let the feel-good movies transport you to a land of romance and comedy. Break out the plush robes and DIY spa treatments while a lineup of classics like Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, or The Notebook play in the background. Share laughter, tears, and heartwarming moments. And why not spice it up with matching pajamas and a sophisticated cocktail or mocktail station? There’s no better way to bond and create memories that'll last longer than the polish on your nails!
