Polaroids & Playboy
A Night of Feeling Sexy
What better way to get some sexy shots than inviting all of your girlfriends over for a lingerie night to take fun photos to look back on when you’re old and gray!
Planning
To make this Polaroid-inspired girls' night unforgettable, you’ll need to create a setting that's stylish, cozy, and photogenic. Think vintage charm meets modern fun.
Decor: Vintage Vibes Meets Modern Fun
Polaroid Wall: Dedicate a space in the room where all your Polaroid pictures will be displayed. Use twine and clothespins or a wooden frame to hang up photos as they’re taken throughout the night. Not only does it add a personal touch, but it also makes for an awesome party backdrop.
Instant Camera Station: Set up a DIY Polaroid photo booth with a table full of fun props, like oversized sunglasses, feather boas, sparkly hats, and funky headbands. Place a few Polaroid cameras (or instant cameras) with lots of film so everyone can capture their memories.
String Lights & Neon Accents: Light up the space with cozy string lights, neon signs that say “Girls Night” or “Let’s Get Fancy,” and soft glowing lanterns to create a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for taking cute pics.
Photo Wall: Choose a blank wall or large backdrop for photos. Decorate it with a cute banner, streamers, and maybe even a life-size cutout of a vintage Polaroid camera for guests to pose in front of.
Throw Pillows & Cozy Seating: Arrange comfy seating with throw pillows, blankets, and even a few plush rugs to keep the vibe cozy. This will encourage lounging, chatting, and impromptu photo sessions.
Dress Code – Dress Up & Get Ready to Snap!
The best part of this Polaroid girls' night is definitely the chance to dress up and get some fun lingerie that you normally wouldn’t!
Sexy Glam: Think dark eyeliner, bright red lip, any kind of makeup that makes you feel like the absolute hottest version of yourself
DIY Glam: Set up a beauty station where your friends can do a quick touch-up of their makeup, hair, and nails. Provide accessories like sparkly nail polish, hairpins, and lip gloss for anyone who wants to add a little extra sparkle.
Fun Accessories: Think sparkly hats, feather boas, statement necklaces, and oversized sunglasses—basically, anything that makes the photos extra fun!
The Menu – Tasty Bites and Sips to Keep Things Light and Fun
While you’re posing and snapping, keep everyone fueled with some chic and tasty snacks. Think small, shareable bites that look just as fabulous as they taste!
Drinks: Sparkling and Fabulous
Champagne Cocktails: Serve up a classic champagne toast with a twist—mix in some fruit puree like peach, strawberry, or raspberry for a splash of color. If you're in the mood for something more festive, add edible glitter to give your drinks a magical sparkle.
Pink Lemonade Fizz: For a non-alcoholic option, create a fun pink lemonade spritz with sparkling water and a splash of cranberry juice. Add fresh mint and a slice of lemon for a refreshing touch.
Rosé Sangria: A beautiful rosé sangria made with fresh berries, citrus slices, and a splash of club soda is perfect for sipping throughout the night.
Bites: Perfect for Nibbling
Mini Caprese Skewers: Fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves drizzled with balsamic glaze. Simple, elegant, and delicious.
Bruschetta Bites: Toasted baguette slices topped with diced tomatoes, basil, and a sprinkle of parmesan. A classy and tasty appetizer.
Mini Cupcakes: Cupcakes are perfect for a girls' night! Go with flavors like red velvet, vanilla, or chocolate, and decorate them with pastel icing and sprinkles for a pop of color.
Charcuterie Board: Create a beautiful grazing board with an assortment of cheeses, crackers, nuts, and fruits. Add some olives, spreads, and even a few chocolate truffles for an indulgent touch.
Fancy Popcorn: Make a batch of flavored popcorn—maybe truffle oil or cinnamon sugar—and serve it in cute little bowls. It's easy to eat while you pose for photos!
Party
Polaroid Photo Fun: Capture the Moment
Instant Photo Stations: Set up different stations or backdrops where your guests can take photos throughout the night. Have props like feather boas, funky sunglasses, or oversized hats available to mix things up.
Polaroid Photo Challenge: Make the night even more interactive by setting up a photo challenge. For example, have a "Best Pose," "Sexiest Shot," or "Most Glamorous Moment" category. Let everyone vote, and at the end, give out small prizes like mini photo frames or cute Polaroid accessories for the winners.
DIY Polaroid Book: As photos are taken, put them in your little black book. Add the date and little thoughts to each photo.
Favors: Send Your Guests Home with Fun Memories
To cap off the evening, send your guests home with a little something special to remember the night.
Personalized Polaroids: After all the photos are taken, give each guest their favorite photo from the night in a cute Polaroid frame. You can even write a little note on the back to make it extra personal.
Mini Photo Albums: Gift everyone a small photo album where they can store their Polaroid photos from the night. You could even provide a few extra blank pages for them to add their own snapshots from future girls' nights.
Instant Film Packs: If your guests love photography, consider gifting a pack of instant film for their own cameras. This way, they’ll have a memory of the party that they can continue to capture!
