Catching up with the group shouldn’t take an unanswered poll and six-month thread to happen. Someone’s got to turn that “lol yes soon” into an actual plan and date, and that someone is you. And honestly? You deserve more than just a coffee catch up.
Here are 6 ways to spice up your next catch up with your friends.
Fresh air and an overdue hangout just make sense. Whether you’re paddling out for a sunrise kayak, squeezing in a coastal walk, or doing your very best impression of someone who knows how to ride a horse, taking it outside is the way to go. You’ll get your exercise in for the day without it even feeling like it. Consider us convinced.
A wine tasting is exactly what your next catch-up needs. It feels sophisticated, tastes brilliant, and turns into a two-hour conversation you didn’t see coming. It’s also a good excuse to drink wine. You’ll leave with your cup overflowing and a bottle you definitely won’t be sharing.
You’ve already sent the pottery class around the group chat with “we have to do this”. Now’s the time to actually do it. The clay will keep your hands busy while the conversation flows, and you’ll walk away with a cute, questionable looking dish that’ll remind you of your day together every time you see it.
Make your next hang-out a proper occasion. A high tea or champagne brunch is all the excuse you need to go beyond the jeans-and-sneakers rotation. We’re talking outfits that don’t get out enough, hair and makeup that take effort, and a group photo worth posting.
If you know your friends have been through it lately, then a smash room is the only acceptable place to meet up. Because spending some time smashing up furniture and throwing around dishes is unexpected, messy and completely therapeutic. Which if we’re being honest, is everything you both need.
A few hours isn’t enough and you all know it. Reserve a whole weekend to fill each other in on all thing’s life. A farm stay turns the catch-up into slow mornings, long meals and no one checking the time. It’s the kind of weekend that starts as a plan and ends as a tradition.
