Because it's only fitting to celebrate the start of summer with a sweet shindig.

Say hello to SOIRÉE SEASON

With all due respect to the good ol' squad sleepover, this year it's time to elevate your bestie hangouts. We're talking aesthetic themes, totally packed agendas and *all* the Pinterest-worthy photo opps.

Basically, it's the perfect party in the making-and these mood boards are absolutely fit for your next fête. New summertime tradition? We think yes.

Mamma Mia!

WE HAVE YOUR ONE-WAY TICKET TO KALOKAIRI. GET READY TO LIVE OUT YOUR '70S DISCO DAYDREAMS.

THE DECOR: Break out the blues and whites, because this party calls for a seaside-inspired color palette. Set the table with woven mats and your prettiest azure plates (we heart the Food Network 4-piece Mediterranean Salad Plate Set, $35, kohls.com), then adorn your dance floor with a massive mirrorball. To create a fabulous photo booth (we *know* you'll want to snap some iconic Donna & The Dynamos pics), hang a shiny tinsel backdrop on an empty wall and decorate with sparkly balloons (plus a garland of bougainvillea, natch).

THE FOOD: Treat your girls to a glorious Greek spread before you dance the night away. Pita chips with hummus, chicken souvlaki and tomato feta salad make perfect picks (get the recipes at girlslife.com/iti). For dessert, set out some custom-decorated sugar cookies (from pink flowers to flare jeans, the piping options are endless) and baklava bites from the bakery.

MAY WE PRESENT THE NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES OF FRIENDSHIP

When it comes to the golden rules of bestiehood, being an amazing friend goes way deeper than always responding to her DMs and surprising her with Starbucks on her birthday. Sure, those smaller gestures are important, but building a bond that'll go the distance requires showing up in all the ways that really count. Take a second to check in and see if you're truly following through on your friendships...or if you need to up your bestie game.
