Girlfriends Boston – FAQ 💕
We’re so excited you’re interested in our community! We know you may have a few questions before joining, so here’s everything you need to know:
✨ Events & Friendships
How many events do you host each month?
We typically host 3–5 official events per month, depending on what we can confirm with vendors and spaces. On top of that, members often plan their own casual hangouts like walks, brewery nights, or potlucks.
Do I have to attend events to make friends?
Not at all! Events are a great way to meet people, but we also encourage members to connect in our group chats and plan their own outings. Many friendships are made outside of official events.
What kinds of events do you offer?
So many! From crafts, cooking and cocktail classes, seasonal adventures, fitness sessions, and boat cruises — to casual hangs like picnics or brewery meetups.
How many people attend?
It varies, but typically 10–40 people per event. We keep things smaller on purpose so you can actually connect and leave having made at least one new friend.
Why are events small?
We believe small = meaningful. It helps everyone feel seen and gives you the best chance to connect with new people.
Are events free or paid?
We offer a mix of free, low-cost, and ticketed events (ranging roughly $15–$200 depending on the activity). Many casual member-led hangs are free.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes! We love meeting new faces. Just note that member discount codes are for members only.
How do I RSVP?
We announce events in advance in our WhatsApp Members Chat.
You can always view and RSVP for events in the members portal: www.girlfriendsboston.com → log in → events.
What if I RSVP but can’t attend?
Most events are non-refundable, but you can always transfer your ticket to another member (usually coordinated in our “All Members” chat).
Can I host my own event?
Yes! You’re welcome to organize casual hangouts anytime. If you’d like to host an official event or series, reach out — we just ask for at least 2 months’ notice so we can plan together.
💌 Membership
Am I guaranteed to make friends if I join?
Friendship takes effort, so we can’t guarantee it — but if you show up and engage, you’ll find your people. We’ve seen hundreds of friendships grow here!

A form to get your welcome package

FAQs & tips to get started
Do I have to attend events to stay a member?
Nope! Events are fun, but Girlfriends is about more than that. You can be as active as you want in the chats, host your own hangs, or attend events when it fits your schedule.
Is there an age requirement?
Nope! Most members are in their mid-20s to mid-40s, but we truly believe friendships happen across all ages.
Can I pause my membership?
Not at the moment. If you need a break, you can cancel and rejoin anytime. (Just note that once canceled, we ask you to exit all member chats, but you’ll be welcomed back once you sign up again!)

💕 About Us
Who runs Girlfriends Boston?
Hi, it’s me — Ana 👋! If you’ve come to events, you’ve probably met me. Over time, we’ve grown into a small but mighty team:
A group of Ambassadors who help at events
3 online admins who keep everything running
1 partnership manager who builds our collabs
Why did Girlfriends start?
I (Ana) moved to Boston from Venezuela almost 10 years ago and found it really hard to make true friends as an adult. Girlfriends began as a way to change that — and has since grown into a beautiful community of women ready to connect, support, and explore together. (The full story is longer… and definitely requires cookies 🍪 to share!)
How long have you been around?
Since 2018 — from panels to our classic picnics (still my fave!).
