Make your Girls’ Night a Great Night with Walkers

4 Ways to Make Any Night Deliciously Fun

As Summer winds down, the days become shorter, and the weather gets cooler, you might find yourself looking for new ways to get together with friends for a fun night in. Well, look no further because we’ve got four great ideas to share, and of course, they all involve treating yourself (and others) to your favorite Walkers Shortbread. A little creativity and planning can take a good night to a great night!

1. DO THIS: Host a Movie Night!
   Why go out to the theater when you can stay in and host a fun movie night right in your own living room? Make it extra fun with a touch of spontaneity. Write down a few movie genres with up to 5 movies to match each genre and then have guests choose at random what to watch! The first to arrive gets to draw the movie genre from a bowl, and the last guest to arrive picks the movie for that genre! Looking for more inspiration? Check out these fun movie night ideas and enjoy the show!
   
   SNACK ON THIS: Serve up Something Salty and Something Sweet!
   Serve up some salted, buttery popcorn and give guests another buttery treat with Walkers Shortbread Mini Rounds, Mini Salted Caramel Chocolate Chunk Shortbread, and Mini Chocolate Chip Shortbread Rounds. Or keep it classic with Popcorn, Soda and Walkers Shortbread Fingers.
   
   
 
2. DO THIS: Have a Wine Tasting Event
   For a really fun night, gather your friends for a vino-focused get-together—and the best part is that you don’t have to be a wine connoisseur to pull it off.
   
   For the start of Fall, we love a really good red wine, so grab 5 of your favorite friends, have each bring their favorite bottle, and let the tasting begin. Gift each guest a 33 Bottles of Wine journals to jot down notes about each wine—it’s perfect for wine novices and pros alike. For more creative ideas, here are some tips on How to Host the Perfect At-Home Wine Tasting.

3. DO THIS: Invite Everyone to Game Night!
   The first step is to invite at least 4 to 6 people, as most games require at least 4 players. Then, provide good game options for guests to choose from. For a larger group, a Masquerade Ball/Carnival Murder Mystery can be a lot of fun. Or, for a smaller group, try a twist on a classic game with a meow-ising round of CAT-opoly! You can also ask each guest to bring their favorite game and choose from that collection.
