There is something powerful about getting your inner circle in one room to dream out loud. While digital goals are great, there is nothing like the tactile experience of flipping through magazines and pinning your future to a board. If you’re looking to reset and realign with your crew, a Vision Board Party is the answer. It’s part intentional goal-setting, part “girl dinner” aesthetic, and 100% fun. From the perfect snack spread to setting the scene, here is how to host a night that is as inspiring as it is delicious.
Set the Scene + The Vibe
To get the creative juices flowing, make the space feel cozy and lovely. Clear off a large dining table or kitchen island so everyone has room to spread out. Put down a kraft paper tablecloths and arrange a vase of fresh flowers. Add a great upbeat playlist (not too loud to distract from the great conversation) and plenty of natural light (or candles and tea lights for an evening hang). The goal is to make everyone feel comfortable enough to dream big.
Gather Your Supplies
As the host, I like to provide the essentials. I set out poster boards as the base. We have plenty of old school supplies, from which I grab glue sticks, scissors, markers and washi tape. I’ll order a vision board clip art book or two and ask guests to bring magazines to cut up. Everyone is welcome to supplement the stash with different stickers, writing implements, or other craft supplies.
Curate Your Categories
Help your guests get started by suggesting they look for images that represent different areas of life. Ideas include
- Adventure: Travel destinations and new experiences.
- Wellness: How they want to move and feel.
- Connection: Relationships and community.
- Personal Growth: Books to read or skills to learn.
The Menu: “Girl Dinner” Perfection
The best vision board food is “picky food:” items you can eat with one hand while the other hand holds a glue stick. Try the ultimate “Girl Dinner,” with crispy fries (and dipping sauces), a Caesar salad, and a crisp rosé. Or load up a grazing board with meats, cheese, fruits, and nuts for easy, constant snacking. For drinks, think bubbles or espresso martinis, or create a fun mocktail!
Share The Vision
Before the night ends, take a moment for everyone to share one “big dream” they’ve pinned to their board. Vocalizing a goal to a supportive group of friends turns a “maybe” into a plan.
A vision board party isn’t about creating a perfect piece of art; it’s about creating a visual map for the life you want to lead. Whether your board is covered in race medals, travel spots, or “peace of mind” quotes, seeing it every day keeps you focused on your own path. So grab the fries, pour the wine, and let’s start planning!
