1. The Wine and Cheese Picnic<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s clich\u00e9, but true\u2026 many women like to drink wine.<\/p>\n

And what goes better with wine than cheese?<\/p>\n

Add some truffles, olives, crackers, fresh bread and hummus\u2026 and you\u2019ve got the makings of a decadent picnic basket.<\/p>\n

Have your girlfriends each bring a favorite bottle of wine\u2026 and let whoever is organizing it supply the eats this time around.<\/p>\n

Then just pick a scenic spot and enjoy!<\/p>\n

2. Take a Winery (or Brewery) Tour<\/h2>\n

Sticking with the theme of wine, many vineyards offer tours for small groups that won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n

For a modest fee, you get to sample fresh wines and complimentary tapas at the end of the tour. You also may find some places offer live music and outdoor dining.<\/p>\n

On average, you can find a decent tour for less than $25 per person\u2026 which makes for a nice and cost effective afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Happy Hour or Ladies Night at the Bar<\/h2>\n

Happy hour is all about half price or discounted drinks\u2026 and most bars these days even offer \u201cladies night\u201d specials to get more women into their establishment.<\/p>\n

More women typically mean more single guys<\/a>, which is great if you\u2019re looking to meet your perfect match\u2026 or just play matchmaker for a friend.<\/p>\n

There is also normally free food served during happy hour\u2026 making this one of the least expensive women\u2019s group activities ideas on my list.<\/p>\n

4. Go Hiking<\/h2>\n

Hiking is a great way to get exercise, while taking in nature\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n

You can use an app like AllTrails<\/a> or Gaia GPS (available on Google Play or the Apple Store) to find your next adventure. Trails are typically sorted by distance and difficulty, which makes it easy to find the one most suitable for all the gals in your group.<\/p>\n

Hiker reviews and posted photos will also come in handy for choosing the next best hike.<\/p>\n

5. Painting Party<\/h2>\n

BYOB painting parties have grown in popularity over the last few years.<\/p>\n

But with many local craft stores and online retailers offering these bulks materials at discount\u2026 there is little reason why you can\u2019t host your own painting party at home!<\/p>\n

You can typically find painting stencils online. Pinterest<\/a>, for instance, seemed to have quite a few.\u00a0 There is also the option of casting a YouTube tutorial<\/a> during the party for fun and easy step by step painting projects.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019d prefer to have someone else do the legwork, companies like Social Artworking<\/a> have got you covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. Book Club<\/h2>\n

Book clubs never go out of style.<\/p>\n

In fact, pleasure reading is an art that is lost on so many of us as life gets in the way\u2026 and one that we really should make time for<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s easier said than done, but there are so many authors<\/a> that are worth discovering and sharing with others.<\/p>\n

A book club makes you accountable. It will force you to sit down and read the assigned book so that you\u2019re able to discuss it intelligently.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, book clubs often involve some tasty food and beverages.<\/p>\n

7. Retro Sleepover<\/h2>\n

Do you remember your first slumber party? I do.<\/p>\n

The movies, the snacks, the games. Playing silly pranks (frozen bra, anyone?). Painting nails, doing each other\u2019s hair. Gossiping about the mean girls and gushing over your latest crush.<\/p>\n

It was magical\u2026 or at least it seemed that way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Times were so much simpler then\u2026 after all, teen angst has nothing on adulting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So why not use a girl\u2019s night as the perfect excuse to throw a retro sleepover.<\/p>\n

Send out invites asking everyone to bring their favorite childhood snacks and all the glamour magazines they can muster.<\/p>\n

Choose from a collection of movies that were popular back then. Same goes for a song playlist.<\/p>\n

You may even want to share some old photos of you gals as kids, just for kicks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. Join a Sports League<\/h2>\n

Organized sports are a great way to stay (or get) fit, learn to work as a team and make new friends who share similar interests.<\/p>\n

Many towns offer adult leagues through their recreation department or community center. There are also leagues to be found via private facilities, such as gyms or an indoor sports complex.<\/p>\n
