How do you pack for a weekend quickly?

Question

I get off work at 7 tonight and my boyfriend and I are going back to his hometown to visit the parents. We want to get there at a decent time and its a couple hour drive.

How do you pack what you need and do it quickly?

I always forget something small or wish I had another outfit. We are staying there for 3 nights and 3 days... we will pry go out with his family one night and to a bar another.

Answer 1

Make a list while you're at work, and then when you get home, you can just follow the list, throw in everything you need, and head out! I start of with the clothing by selecting my favorite outfits. Choose a casual, but semi-fancy outfit you love for the going out, then choose a casual outfit for the bar, but play it up with bright accessories. Then make a list of your bathroom needs, pajamas, etc. GL!!! :)

Answer 2

Get a small holdall or suitcase. I would pack three or four outfits for the night in case you change your mind, and a few tops and few bottoms for the day. Then just remember underwear, toiletries, a towel for bathing if you need one, and shoes. Also, any accessories you want to take such as handbags, jewelry etc.
