The girls are coming over to catch up on our favorite TV show, enjoy a few snacks and spend some quality time together. I’m in the midst of preparing everything for our fun girls night in. The guys have other plans and it’s just us girls tonight. Yippee!
Here’s How I Program a Fun Girls Night In
Let’s Get Comfy
Comfort is key when hosting a viewing party for a fun girls night out. Yoga pants, tees, and other casual wear will make the best-dressed list for this get-together. Add more than a few pillows and throws for a warm and inviting place to kick back and catch up on your favorite TV show.
My husband says I have way too many pillows on the sofa. I counter with the fact that you can never have too many pretty pillows.
Someone is bound to get a few chill bumps while we’re watching the grand finale so I’m always prepared.
Stock Up on Everyone’s Favorite Beverages
When my girls come over, I make sure and have everyone’s favorite Coca-Cola beverage on hand. For me, it’s DASANI Water. Caitlin must have her SmartWater. Rebekah is all about that Diet Coke.
I keep all of our Coca-Cola beverages in an ice bucket on the coffee table. That way, everything is within arm’s reach so we can pause for a moment, but never miss the action. Plus, the ice keeps all the beverages well chilled.
Of course, during Girls Night In, we talk about as much as we watch the movie. That’s what the pause button is for.
Sweepstakes
Speaking of our favorite beverage, you can show how you #PlayPauseRefresh for a chance to win up to $500 in gift cards and cool prizes. All you have to do is:
1. Pick up your favorite Coca-Cola beverage and Program Your Night.

One of our favorite snacks for Girls Night is Spicy Pecans. I always have plenty of pecans in my freezer because I get them from my dad’s pecan orchard in Georgia. They’re the best in the world!
How To Make Spicy Pecans

Pour over the pecans and stir until well combined. Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Whenever I have my girlfriends over for movie night, good snacks are a MUST. I think they would be mad at me if I didn’t have any LOL.
What some great ideas for a girls night in, I have to admit I love your idea for spicy pecans as well I must try that!
This would be fun! I love spicy foods so I’d enjoy these nuts. And I always love my coke. Diet Coke is what helps keep me friendly.
Bunch of us had a Gilmore girl night. So much good food and drinks. Wonder relaxed evening
I tried making some similar pecans once but I burnt them lol. I can’t wait to try yours and hopefully I will be more attentive while I’m making them. I’d love to serve these on our movie night.
Haha how fun! Your house is beautiful! And who can resist a good bottle of coke!
I love spicy pecans. I always get them from a local pecan farmer’s produce stand, but I should make my own.
Those pecans look so delicious. I will have to enter this great Sweepstakes. I need to plan a girls night soon.
I miss pecans! Used to love eating butter pecan ice cream while watching a movie at home. Kids are allergic to them now though and can’t have any products with them in the house anymore 🙁 This spicy pecans recipe looks really good!
Girls nights are the absolute best! Those Spicy Pecans sure do look yummy. I can’t wait to try them out for myself.
Back in my college years, we had a lot of fun girls’ night. I know tip no. 1 is really important.
Reminds me of some amazing nights I had had with my friends back in university times. Movies, soft drinks and snacks have always been fun! Will surely try this recipe and have a movie night now with my husband.
It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! I havent had a girls night in a couple years…I moved and left my girls, wah, but then they each all moved away too. On the hunt to meet some chicks here. whoa, that sounded wierd…on the hunt to make good friends in my new location.
My best friends live far from me, so it is rare that I get this opportunity for a girls night in. However, I can still have something like this for family movie night. That would be fun too. I will also share this post with my cousin. She and her besties live only a few houses from each other so they can have a movie night in like this every week if they so desire.
I’ve never thought of spicy pecans before! Those sound delish!
I love the look of your decor. The pillows look fantastic. I need to have a girls night in soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
This wants me to throw a girls night in party this weekend! We would watch all girly movies and popcorn for sure!
