| I just used the Girls Night Out version of Chocolate Boutique as an appreciate night for my children's ministry staff (and to jumpstart a new small group I am starting for them). We had so much fun together! I've read so many times that it is important for teams to "play" together and fellowship. This was a perfect way to accomplish that. They have already asked what other themes are available. Thanks Group!

| | How fun! Did you know we have three more Girls Night Out Party Kits coming out in June?? They are: * The Bloomery (in case you don't need the whole retreat, do this flower-themed party) * Tickled Pink (focuses on laughter and joy--and has a tie-in for breast cancer recovery if you want to use it in that way) * Cozy Kitchen (a cooking party where you'll make comfort foods, wear your fuzzy slippers, and chat!) These will all be out the first week of June--just in time for summer parties!

| Oh, those sound like lots of fun! The Tickled Pink one would be great for our church as we have several survivors here!

| | These sound great - how much preparation is needed in advance of the retreat? |

| The Girls Night Out version of Chocoloate Boutique(CB) was very simple to plan. It is only designed to last 2 hours unlike the full retreat version of CB. I would estimate I spent about 8 hours total for all planning? It wasn't all in one day of course but it was fairly simple.

| The retreat leader guide breaks down the planning into manageable steps--so you do a little each week leading up to the retreat. We have gotten feedback saying it was so easy that leaders felt guilty--like they weren't doing enough. And I know several churches have had teens lead sessions--so it's easy enough for them to do--you don't have to be an expert.

| You just answered a prayer for me! I was looking for a way to do something for the ladies who have come before me as a way to show how much I appreciate them. This would be a great way to do that!
Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer.  |
