The Bellas are back for one last call in Pitch Perfect 3. In celebration of the Blu-Ray release with new musical performances, gag reel and extended scenes not seen in theaters, I was sent a package full of aca-awesome treats for a ā€œPitches Night Inā€ with my girlfriends. There are few things I enjoy more than quality girl time. Some of my favorite childhood memories are from sleepover parties. Weā€™d watch movies, eat treats, play games, paint our nails, do crazy hairstyles. We even used to make ridiculous movies of our own ā€” it was an event.While itā€™s a little tough to get grown women to commit to an actual sleepover these days ā€” we live in New York apartments, after all ā€”I thought I would recreate that vibe with a girlsā€™ night full of all those things. Come to think of it, itā€™s a little like the Barden Bellas in the newest installment: all grown up and living the struggle of real life, but in need of a little reunion with their girls.

Anytime Iā€™m entertaining, I use it as an excuse to stock up on treats from my favorite bakeriesĀ  ā€” and make sure everyone eats them so I get them out of my apartment! Pitch Perfect 3 provided the fun cups and popcorn (and fun shirts for me and my friends!), and I picked up some candy because how can I watch a movie without it? I have to admit that I am not a cook and I almost always feed my guests with casual catering or takeout, but Bobby kindly prepared some porta-Bella burgers (get it?! I felt clever), which are so easy that even I could make themā€¦except, I didnā€™t. Just marinate them in a good balsamic vinaigrette and cook them on the grill or in a skillet and then dress them up as you like, just as you would with a regular burger. Bobby always heat the buns inside the oven to get the cheese nice and melty.

I love having games on hand for when friends are over, and this Sing It Back card game was a perfect fit for a movie night about an all-girl a cappella group. You sing the lyrics to a song and your teammate has to sing the following lyrics correctly, which is kind of hilarious if youā€™re the type of person who doesnā€™t listen to the lyrics (Hold me closer, Tony Danza). And naturally, I made use of the nail polishes that Pitch Perfect 3 sent, because is it a girlsā€™ night in if youā€™re not doing masks or nails?
