Girls Night Out in Rockford, Illinois!

Ladies night brings images of women getting together and giggling, painted toenails, and simply getting out of the house-for bonding time away from the men and children. In Rockford, the best way to have a successful ladies night event is to plan for it in advance. The common thread heard in Rockford is "but there's nothing to do in this town". Indeed, it seems that there is little to do in Rockford-unless it involves eating and drinking, but with careful planning there is always something for the women to do!

If your ladies night will consist of eating and drinking, there is plenty of venues available, but some people don't want to sit in a bar and drink all night. That can be done every night of the week, and it doesn't take any planning. But for real fun, and some adventure-let's take a look at some things that women like.

Women love to shop and get free things. Coupled with friends and fun, this can be a great way for women to get together and enjoy some girl time. You can choose someone's home, get some snacks and some beverages-and schedule a party- the hostess earns credits toward her purchase, and if you carefully arrange the party dates, everyone can get something they truly like for free! There are so many home party consultants in the Rockford area to provide a variety, and you can rotate your parties monthly, allowing everyone to have a different party in their home and get the gifts and hostess credits! Hot ideas for these parties are Lia Sophia parties, with well made costume jewelry for all ages, Slumber Parties, with beautiful lingerie, romance enhancement products and "toys" (these parties can cause uncontrollable laughter), Dove Chocolate parties, which feature top quality chocolate gifts and dessert items. Other ideas that are suitable for these parties are items women love-Gold Canyon Candles and Spa and Skincare items, as well as SPA PARTIES from Beauticontrol, and for those women who love to cook-Tastefully Simple and Pampered Chef. There's a purse party consultant (Delana) at Bermuda Tan in Rockford too, and If you have a room or hall available, you might be able to combine some of this shopping fun and have an even larger event! You could even hostess a wine tasting party!

For those ladies who like more variety and adventure, schedule a scavenger hunt for your girls night out, but stay safe and map out a specific area, with the rule that you may only ask people in public places for the items on your list. Be creative! Invite a massage therapist to your home for complimentary neck massages. This is a great way for her to promote her business. Those interested in stamping and scrap booking can attend workshops held in the Rockford area, to learn more about different techniques and how to purchase Stampin Up products.

You and the ladies could also book motel rooms at a great local landmark, if money is no object. Why should the kids have all the fun? Enjoy a sleepover at the Clock tower Resort and have some fun at Coco Key indoor water park! The water park can be enjoyed year-round, and is conveniently located just off I-90 on Rockford's east side.
Group rates for day passes are also available for those who don't want to make an all-night commitment.

If your group wants to enjoy a little culture, Starlight theater at Rock Valley College offers group rates for their productions. After the show, you may indeed want a few drinks and some good food. My personal favorites, as I prefer non-chain affiliations and cookie cutter type restaurants, are Nunzios in Loves Park, for great Italian Cuisine and Pizza, or Backyard Bar and Grill for less casual encounters. If you like the fast food and chain alternatives, you won't have a problem finding those, but for something interesting, that you can't get in every city in America, take the short detour and try something a little different!

Girls night should always be about the women. A little fun with the girls, whether it be shopping, laughing, or activities, makes us happy, and happy is good!
May your ladies night be safe and fun!
