RSVP Montgomery

Amanda McCoy

In the last Connections, we were treated to a hilarious depiction of Guy’s Night Out by the ultra witty Mark Anderson, but there was one important fallacy…the notion that Girl’s Night Out is tame and unexciting in comparison. The girls have a bone to pick.

I'm not saying that we never assemble for small plates and appletinis or don’t relish the occasional spa day, but boys, don’t underestimate Girl’s Night Out. All-you-can-eat salad? Not a chance. We might not partake in any contests involving bodily functions or punch each other excessively for no apparent reason, but we do know a thing or two
about a night out. Guys seem to hold two basic misconceptions about an evening with the girls:

1. A group gathered at a spa or nail salon,endlessly discussing makeup and shoes or complaining about our man’s video game obsession.
2. Inappropriate pillow fights.

It’s an excursion all women value. A brief escape that keeps sanity intact for the woman rushing home after her night shift at the hospital to feed her son breakfast; for the woman, coffee in hand, braving the rush hour commute for a
10 hour day at the office; for the woman dually completing her marketing dissertation and dinner for the family; or merely for the woman that quite simply, just needs a break. Cyndi Lauper said it best, girls just want to have fun…

In the past, Montgomery based women were required to plan an out-of-town getaway to the sandy shores of the gulf or the streets of Atlanta for a successful Girl’s Night Out. Luckily, this is no longer the case; our city now encompasses a surplus of offerings for the female on the hunt for a night to remember. Whether it’s one of the city’s trendy watering holes, dance clubs, upscale dining destinations or merely a living room turned temporary bachelorette pad, there’s always a place to have mandatory female only time.

Married, single or somewhere in between, we as women savor this time together. Debunking the myth, we do not spend the entire night pouring out feelings and consoling one another. Really guys…have you seen the movie “Bridesmaids”? Rowdy female behavior isn’t limited to the cinema. It’s our chance to ease any apprehension about what the men in our lives think of our “unladylike” behavior; a chance to unwind from the stresses of everyday life; a chance to remember just why the bond of sisterhood is so sacred.

Although we love our happily attached counterparts, if you find yourself without a man this Valentine’s Day, join a few of the RSVP girls for a “Love Stinks” party! Complete with a piñata, cocktails and bonfire, this will be a night to celebrate our singlehood! Location TBA – call us for more details.
