How to Organise a Girls Christmas Weekend Away – You should spend the festive season with your nearest and dearest. It’s a time to reflect on the year gone by and celebrate memories with your friends. You could organise a girl’s weekend away to spend some quality time with your best friends.
You can eat delicious food, drink cocktails, and indulge in a few treats. You could catch the train to York or head into the countryside for a breath of fresh air.
Here are a few things to consider when organising a Christmas weekend away with the girls.
Plan ahead
Christmas is a busy time of year, and your diaries are probably already filling up. Find a date that works for everyone now and reserve it in your calendar. You can iron out the finer details later.
Stay in budget
Everyone has different budgets and financial situations. Be considerate of your friends’ circumstances and try to find a solution that works for everyone. You can find a middle ground that everyone will enjoy, without breaking the bank.
Find a nice hotel
A girl’s weekend is the time for relaxation, fluffy dressing gowns and comfy beds. Find a luxurious hotel for an affordable price. You might be able to find a few deals online, or a package on a discount website. Do your research and find the best deal available. You might snatch a spa hotel with a free massage if you’re lucky.
Do some sightseeing
If you’re staying in a city, make sure to book some sightseeing activities for you and your friends. You could see the tourist sites and learn about the history of the destination. Or lookout for something a little more unusual – like a ghost tour or hidden bar. Ask your friends what they would like to see and make a priority list. Book your sightseeing activities in advance to avoid the Christmas crowds.
Have a break away from everything
Christmas can be stressful and chaotic. Sometimes you just need a night away with your girlfriends away from the hustle and bustle of it all. You could rent a cottage in the countryside for the weekend and switch off from your responsibilities. Soak in the hot tub, enjoy a box of chocolates and gossip over a bottle of wine.
Enjoy it!
Don’t get swept up in the planned itinerary and schedule. You might not see every tourist attraction or wake up at the crack of dawn for morning yoga. Relax and enjoy some time with your best gal pals.
A girl’s weekend is the antidote to the Christmas rush.
