About 5 years ago, a group of four couples got together for a dinner club once a month. My sister-in-law Anna knew Audrey and Skip and then they invited Tia and Jason. We rotate houses each time and whoever hosts cooks the dinner. Two of the other couples bring appetizers and the fourth couple brings desert. We all enjoy cooking and it's been a great way to share some tasty meals and don't forget the wine!! Over time, we've become really good friends. Some of the most fun nights were the theme parties. We've done Halloween, Valentine's Day and birthday dinners.
Just the girls get together about once every 5-6 months for a girls day. We usually go to lunch and then have pedicures or facials depending on the time of year. The guys also do an outing once in a while, usually to a sporting event.
This past Sunday, we went to lunch and got pedicures because Anna is going to deliver her baby this week (hopefully Thursday). She wanted to have pretty feet for labor! It always seems to be a rainy day when we go, which somehow makes it more relaxing. Anna has been pretty wiped out wrapping up work before the baby arrives so it was a well needed day of pampering for her. On a side note, I tried a beet and goat cheese salad for lunch....very tasty! I was trying to get something new. The pedicures were fantastic. Two of us go at a time so we all get to sit and chat for two hours. We typically get scolded for talking too loudly, as there are massage rooms right down the hall. Apparently, they want it quiet...:-)

I've always thought it was so cool that you do something like this. Of course I could never be a part of a dinner club b/c people would not be impressed by me whipping up some Kraft mac 'n cheese! :)
I also like that you do girls' days and the guys also get a chance to go do their thing. I might even learn how to cook just to be a part of your group!
That is such a great idea! I would love to start a group like that, but literally only one of my friends likes to cook. :-) Maybe I'll convince Kristy and Joel to have a themed party, though.
You are so cute pregnant!!!
How fun! I need to get something like that going with a some of our friends here. And Jen, I just can't imagine you talking loudly! :)
