Girl Power Party Music Playlist

Create a jammin’ playlist that will keep the energy high and good times rolling. Throw in some old-school 90’s classics like the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys.

Empowering Messages

If you’re throwing a baby shower or a birthday for a little one, have guests write a message of feminist inspiration for the baby. You can select a girl power card to store with keepsakes for baby’s 18th birthday.

Cupcake Decorating with Sprinkles

Let’s face it, many of us girls still like to bedazzle pretty much everything. Let your party guests flex some creative muscles and make adorable little edible masterpieces on top of cupcakes! You can find some super fancy (and Insta-worthy!) sprinkles and edible gems on Etsy. You can even go ultra-fancy with edible flowers!

Mocktails and Cocktails

Sip some bubbly and fresh concoctions with your party guests. Check out my own cocktail recipes that you can whip up: Citrus Gin Cocktail, Blood Orange Martini and Watermelon Cucumber Mojitos.

Make a Charcuterie Board

A girls gotta eat! Charcuterie boards are so easy to make for a party because they require minimal cooking and prep. One hearty grazing board can easily serve a large crowd and you can even customize the foods you’re serving for different foodie lifestyles (here’s my guide to a vegan and plant based charcuterie board). Pro tip - adding seasonal produce ensures extra freshness!

Women’s History Trivia Games

Questions can be a mix of both historical and fun facts. Guaranteed your guests will both have fun and learn something new. Pick up some awesome prizes that your guests will really want.

Girl Power Bingo & MASH

These two classic games still pack the fun, especially when paired with a few cocktails! Etsy sellers have all kinds of ideas for themed Bingo games, many of which will have your party busting a gut with laughter. Also, if you live near a gay district in your city, they often host drag queen bingo nights which are super fun! We’ve been to some in San Diego’s Gay Hillcrest Neighborhood.

Do you remember the old middle school game mash? In this goofy game you'll learn who your future spouse will be, number of kids your having, what city you live in, your career and more. On Etsy you can find fun MASH party game cards.

Scavenger Hunt

If you’re taking your party out on the town, plan a fun themed scavenger hunt. Once again, Etsy sellers have you covered with fun and whimsical scavenger hunt ideas. My favorites are the city themed, bachelorette scavenger hunt, and mystery escape room themed scavenger hunts.

Play the Part

To get into the spirit of the feminist theme, each guest picks a surprise name tag from a hat. Each name tag has a different historical woman which will be his/her alias for the party. Guests will embody the essence of these strong females throughout the party, in a fun and whimsical way.
