Girl Gang Mixer: Friendship, On Purpose

Ready to meet your new favorite people — and finally have somewhere to wear that outfit? This isn't your typical mixer. This is a CURATED friend-making event - not just 'show up and hope for the best.' You fill out a form, I strategically match you into small groups throughout the night based on who you are and what you're actually looking for in friendship. Oh, and the dress code? Wear something you have absolutely nowhere else to wear. Multiple rounds of small-group conversations (3-4 women per table), strategic matching some rounds, intentional mixing others, conversation starters for each round, creative activities (coloring, glass bead bracelet making, doodling) while you chat, Never Have I Ever questions to keep things light, a room full of women in outfits with a story — and that story is your first icebreaker. This is for you if you: Are a woman 35+, just moved to the area and don't know where to start, used to have a solid friend group but life scattered everyone, are a mom and want friends outside of kid pickup lines, work from home and need actual human interaction, keep meaning to 'put yourself out there' but don't know how, have a dress in the back of your closet that deserves a night out. Low-key and fun. Yes, it might be a little awkward at first because we're all human. But here's the secret: everyone there is nervous too — and everyone there is also dressed like they're going to an event that doesn't exist. That shared ridiculousness actually makes it less awkward. Plus you can fidget with art supplies while you talk.
