Girls' Night Out in Tallinn — 10 Ideas for an Unforgettable Evening with Friends
A girls' night out is a special evening that calls for a little imagination. There are plenty of ideas to choose from: some dream of a lively party, others prefer quiet gatherings with a close circle, and some are looking for something completely out of the ordinary. The key is to choose a format the bride and her friends will truly enjoy.
In this selection — 10 ideas for a girls' night out in Tallinn, from classic to unexpected. Each one works for a different mood and group dynamic.
1. Beauty Girls' Night with a Makeup Masterclass
If everyone in your group has been wanting to learn how to do makeup properly — this is the ideal format. A professional makeup artist demonstrates the technique on one of you (usually the bride) while the rest follow along under her guidance. By the end of the evening, everyone looks great, has picked up new skills and has a phone full of beautiful photos.
This is one of the most popular formats in our studio. The package usually includes the masterclass, catering time, a photo wall and all the cosmetics you need — all you have to bring is a good mood.

2. Astrology Girls' Night
A completely unexpected but deeply atmospheric idea. A professional astrologer analyses each guest's birth chart and shares insights into her strengths, life cycles and compatibility with the people around her. It's not just entertainment — it's a meaningful conversation that often touches on big topics.
Perfect for those who want to spend the evening doing something thoughtful and learn something new about themselves and their friends. It's especially interesting when the group includes a few sceptics — they usually leave with fewer doubts.

3. Stylish Photo Shoot in a Studio
If your group loves beautiful shots for social media — choose a format where the photo shoot becomes the centrepiece of the evening. A professional makeup artist creates a look for each guest, a photographer captures the moment and you end up with dozens of ready-to-share images you'll keep coming back to for years.
Choose a studio with different backdrops and good natural light — that's how you get photos that look alive rather than all the same.
4. Creative Masterclass — Painting, Pottery, Candle Making
A shared creative activity can bring together even groups that rarely get together. Tallinn has studios where you can paint with a glass of wine in hand, work with clay, make aromatic candles or craft handmade jewellery. Every guest takes home their own piece — and a memory of the evening.
Ideal for groups where not everyone knows each other well: doing something together breaks the ice better than any drink.
5. Intimate Girls' Night in a Studio
Not every girls' night needs to be loud and crowded. Sometimes the most valuable thing is gathering 3–5 of the closest friends and spending the evening in quiet conversation and comfort. A cosy studio with sofas, tea and soft lighting is a wonderful alternative to a bar or restaurant.
In this format it's easier to talk about what matters: memories, wishes, stories. The bride leaves not exhausted, but truly filled.

6. Aroma Evening with Essential Oils
It sounds unusual but works surprisingly well. An aromatherapy specialist introduces the group to the world of essential oils: shows how they affect mood, helps each guest create her own personal aroma blend and take it home.
This format is particularly good for brides who are feeling stressed before the wedding — the evening turns out to be both deeply relaxing and quietly educational.
7. Spa Day at a Salon
The classic that never disappoints. Manicure, pedicure, massage, facial care — all under one roof, in robes and slippers, with a glass of bubbly in hand. Many salons in Tallinn offer group packages at a discount.
The main tip — book early. Good salons are fully booked weeks ahead on weekends, especially during wedding season.
8. Picnic or Day Trip
In warm weather, you don't have to look for a place in the city. Kadriorg and Pirita parks, the Haabersti coastline, the Viimsi peninsula — wonderful locations for a picnic and a photo session. Minimal organisation, maximum air and freedom.
If you want something more structured, you can rent a small countryside house or a sauna for a few hours and combine the picnic with a spa programme.
9. Escape Room
A great fit for active groups who love puzzles and a bit of competition. Tallinn has more than a dozen escape rooms with different themes — from mystical to adventurous. After an hour of solving puzzles shoulder to shoulder, any group feels more connected.
The downside: it's not for everyone. If someone in the group reacts badly to stress or confined spaces — choose a different idea.
10. Party with an Overnight Apartment Stay
If you want to stretch the celebration into a full day and night — rent a large apartment or house in central Tallinn and combine several formats in one place. Spa and breakfast in the morning, a masterclass or photo shoot in the afternoon, then games and conversation in the evening. Many brides choose this option when friends are travelling in from other cities.
Modern apartments are often already equipped with a kitchen, living room and photo area — all that's left is to fill the space with atmosphere.
How to Choose the Right Format?
Start with the bride — this is her celebration. Ask her what she enjoys more: activity or calm, big groups or a close circle, something new or a familiar format. Then think about the budget and the number of guests — that will quickly narrow down the options.
One more important thing: book early. The best studios and salons in Tallinn are often booked 3–4 weeks ahead, especially on weekends and during wedding season.
