Girls Night Invitations: Dinner, Drinks and Night-In Wording

A girls night invitation should say what the plan is (dinner, drinks, a night in), when and where, who's paying and when to reply. Keep it short and personal: "Girls night! Dinner at [restaurant], Friday, November 6, 7:30 p.m. Table's booked for 8, so tell me by Tuesday if you're in." To build one in a few minutes, try the video invitation maker.

What to Include

• The plan: dinner out, dinner at home, cocktails, a wine night, dancing, a night in.
• Date, time and place. For a restaurant, the reservation time and name it's under.
• The money part: "We'll split the bill," "Dinner's on me, drinks are on you," or "Bring a bottle."
• A reply deadline if you need to confirm a table.
• Dress or vibe only if it matters: "Dress up, we're going dancing" or "Sweatpants mandatory."
• Who's invited, if it's not obvious: just the group, plus friends welcome, no partners.

Planning a bachelorette instead? That has its own etiquette (who pays, multi-day plans), covered in our bachelorette party invitations guide.

Dinner Out

Casual

A little dressier

Dinner at Home or Supper Club

Pair it with: Gather the Girls Supper Club. Watercolor cherry blossoms frame the title "Gather the Girls · Girls Supper Club" over a table of oysters, figs, a berry cake, pink plates and candlelight, with the line "Good plates · Full glasses · Long conversations." It was made for this exact evening.

More dinner texts for any group are in our dinner invitation text messages guide.

Drinks and Cocktails

Pair it with: Raise a Glass With Us. A martini and an old fashioned on a bar under a rainbow arc, with the built-in words "You're invited · Raise a Glass With Us." It fits a drinks night, and especially an LGBTQ+ friend group.

Wine Night

Pair it with: Sip & Savor. A black-and-white illustrated table with wine, oysters, pasta and bread, under "Sip & Savor · an evening of good food and easy conversation." Works for a wine-and-food night that's less pink than a supper club. Hosting a real tasting with a theme? See our wine tasting party invitations.

Dancing

Pair it with: Cherry Disco. A mirror ball over the title "Cherry Disco · Cocktails · Rhythm · Shine," with cherry cocktails, a shaker and deep red flowers on a checkered bar. Fits a cocktails-then-dancing night.

Galentine's Day

Galentine's Day falls on February 13. In 2027 that's a Saturday.

Night In

Birthday Girls Night

Tricky Lines

• Splitting the bill: "We'll split the check evenly" or "Everyone pays for their own." Say it up front.
• Covering the birthday girl: "We're splitting her share between us."
• No partners: "Just us girls this time."
• Friends welcome: "Bring a friend; the more the merrier."
• Booking deadline: "I have to confirm the table Wednesday, so please reply by Tuesday."
• Someone always cancels: "If you can't make it, tell me by Friday so I can update the reservation."

Group Chat Versions

• "Girls night Fri 11/6, 7:30 at [restaurant]. Table under Maya. In or out by Tues? RSVP: [link]"
• "Supper club at mine Sat 7pm. Pasta's on me, bring wine or dessert. RSVP here: [link]"
• "Galentine's Sat 2/13! Pajamas, pancakes, 6pm. Tap yes: [link]"
• "Dinner then dancing Sat. Dinner 8, [club] 10:30. Details: [link]"

When to Send It

15-Second Video Message Ideas

In the TwistInvite App you can hold to record a 15-second voice message guests see with the invitation. It feels more like a personal ask than another group-chat message:

"Okay, girls night. Friday, 7:30, I booked the table. All you have to do is hit yes. Love you, see you there."

"Supper club is at my place this month. I'm making the pasta, you're bringing the wine. Don't make me eat it alone."

Sending the Invitation

1. Pick a template in the TwistInvite App.
2. Add your event details and, if you like, your own photos, video or audio. Hold to record a 15-second voice message.
3. Share the link by text or paste it into the group chat, with your chosen wording as the message.

Everyone opens it in their browser and answers Going, Can't make it or Maybe without an account or download, and you see the replies in the App, which helps when you have to confirm a table. Open the TwistInvite App to start your girls night invitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you write on a girls night invitation?

The plan (dinner, drinks or a night in), the date, time and place, how the bill works, and a reply deadline if you need to confirm a table.

How do you say everyone pays for themselves?

Put it in the invitation so nobody is surprised: "We'll split the check evenly" or "Everyone pays for their own."

How is a girls night different from a bachelorette party?

A girls night is a regular get-together for any reason. A bachelorette celebrates a bride before the wedding and usually has its own plans, costs and etiquette.

When is Galentine's Day?

Galentine's Day is celebrated on February 13, the day before Valentine's Day. In 2027 it falls on a Saturday.

How far ahead should I send a girls night invitation?

One to two weeks for a dinner with a reservation, and two to three weeks for a birthday or Galentine's. Casual drinks can go out the day before.

Can I send the invitation in our group chat?

Yes. With TwistInvite you paste one link into the group chat, and everyone opens it in their browser to answer Going, Can't make it or Maybe without an account.
