Ideas for Women

Hats in a Topsy, Turvy World  |  Spa Day  |  Movie Anyone?

 

Hats in a Topsy, Turvy World

If most of the women in your group are married, you can have a "wedding day" where they can bring their wedding albums. Perhaps there could be a "fashion show" where the women (or younger women in their families) can model the wedding dress they wore if they still have them. Some of them may have fascinating stories to tell of their wedding day/outfit.  Serve the type of refreshments you would find at a wedding reception.  

We did this at our church and discovered that one woman had been married in jeans, flannel shirt, parka, and boots because her wedding day was the day following the Alaska earthquake and her wedding dress disappeared. Another was married in a red dress because she was arrested for parking violations and just made it to the church on time! Several wore dresses that had belonged to their mothers or grandmothers. It was great fun and everyone enjoyed looking at the wedding pictures -- even the single women.

Spa Day

Imagine what a group of women could enjoy in one day by gathering together in a lovely home and pooling their resources and money to, as a group, purchase the services of those who do pedicures, manicures, massages and facials!

You will need a gathering place comfortable for creating private areas or rooms for massages, facials and other services. Privacy is a must for massages!  Low lights and fragrant candles with soft music playing in the background, do wonders for creating an atmosphere of peace and relaxation.

Have another room where those waiting for their 'moment' can gather to talk, munch on snacks or read.

Ladies love to be pampered, talk and reflect.  Creating a spa day (and I mean ALL day)  Allows for healing and restoration; mind, body, soul and spirit.

Can't do it all?  Then use your imagination and do what you can.

Movie Anyone?

You don't have to go to a theater to enjoy a great movie with friends! Find a movie that will be well received with your group of friends and guests.  Inspiring, controversial, funny ... Pick your movie to reflect the conversation and atmosphere you have in mind for your evening.

We chose the movie "Chocolat" and enjoyed the company of approx. 15 women.  Each woman brought chocolate to use after the movie to make gourmet chocolates to give as gifts.  Inspired by the movie, we relocated to the kitchen where delicious chocolate creations evolved - along with fascinating insights and discussion regarding the message of the movie.

Questions to ask:

  1. Who did you relate to the most in the movie?  The least?
  2. What do you think the message of the movie was?
  3. Have you ever experienced emotions like those that were stirred up in the movie? Where? When?
  4. Tell us about a time that you were reminded about while watching the movie.
