Picture this: You're texting your group chat. "Hear me out: Call Her Daddy listening party. We coordinate outfits, play our favorite episodes, and take pics for the 'gram." Immediate chaos ensues in the best way. But how do you actually pull it off without it feeling like a regular hang? That's where Call Her Daddy listening party merch comes in. I've spent over a decade in print-on-demand and merch design, and I can tell you the right gear transforms a casual listen into an event. From coordinating hoodies to themed decor, this guide breaks down exactly what you need.

Setting the Scene: Must-Have Decor from the CHD Store
The vibe starts the second guests walk through the door. Alex Cooper's aesthetic is unapologetic and bold, so lean into that. The CHD store carries canvas prints with iconic quotes like "Unwell" or "Hot Girl Era." Prop them on a shelf or use as a backdrop. I've found that layering a large throw blanket (the 'Daddy' fleece blanket works perfectly) over a couch creates an instant cozy podcast nook. String up some fairy lights for a warm glow, and set the lighting to a dim, intimate level.
Decorating on a Budget
A few small touches go a long way. Grab a set of CHD coasters (they're about $15 for four) and scatter them around. Place a branded candle (think 'Eau de Daddy') on the coffee table for a signature scent. If you're crafty, print out a mini banner with "Call Her Daddy" in the show's signature font. These details cost under $50 total but make the space feel curated.
Outfits for You and Your Friends: Matching Slay
Coordinating outfits doesn't mean everyone wears the same exact thing. Start with a base piece from the CHD store, like the 'Daddy Gang' hoodie or the 'Unwell' tee. Then have each person style it differently. One friend wears distressed jeans, another a pleated skirt, another joggers. The key is the shared merch piece ties the group together. I recommend ordering a week ahead because sizes can run large and you want everyone comfortable. Group discounts aren't listed, but buying multiple items in one order saves on shipping.
How to Style the Hoodie for a Party
The 'Daddy Gang' hoodie is the star. For a more fitted look, size down one size. Pair with bike shorts and chunky sneakers. For a cozy vibe, go true to size (or up one) and wear with leggings. Accessorize with a CHD cap or the branded phone grip. This hoodie is 80% cotton, 20% polyester, so it breathes well for dancing. Avoid pairing with stiff denim if you want full comfort for lounging.
Snacks and Drinks Inspired by Alex Cooper's Favorites
Alex has mentioned loving chips and guac, espresso martinis, and anything spicy. Set up a self-serve snack bar with tortilla chips, homemade guacamole, and a bowl of spicy jalapeño poppers. For drinks, create a signature cocktail: the "Hot Girl Martini" (vodka, espresso, vanilla syrup, shaken). Offer a non-alcoholic version with cold brew and cream. Label each item with CHD-themed tags (printable from the blog). A "Matching Snacks" moment: serve mini desserts like "Unwell Brownies" or "Daddy's Cookies." Keep it simple but Instagram-worthy.
Playlist of Favorite Episodes to Rewind
Instead of listening to music, curate a playlist of iconic Call Her Daddy episodes. Start with a classic like "The Father" episodes (season 1) to set the tone, then move to listener questions or the "Hot Girl's Guide" segments. Pick 4-5 episodes and play them in order. Pause after each to discuss. Pro tip: Actually watch the YouTube clips for visual reactions. This keeps the group engaged. If you have a smart TV, cast the episodes for a shared viewing experience.
Episode Recommendations for Your Party
- Season 4, Episode 1: "The Return" - sets the vibe
- Season 6, Episode 3: "Listener Questions" - gets everyone talking
- Season 5, Episode 10: "Relationship Advice" - sparks discussions
- Season 7, Episode 2: "Maddy & Alex" - shows the dynamic
- Bonus: Any "This is How You Do It" segment for laughs
Photo Ops and Social Media Sharing Tips
No listening party is complete without photo documentation. Set up a small photo booth corner with a CHD-branded backdrop (a large print or a curtain with the podcast logo). Provide props like a phone grip, a mug that says "Slay," and a sign that says "Hot Girl Era." I recommend using a ring light for consistency. Encourage guests to post with the hashtag #CHDListeningParty. For group shots, have everyone wear their matching merch and strike a confident pose. To increase sharing, offer a small prize (like a CHD sticker pack) for the best post.
Photo Booth Setup on a Dime
Use a blank wall and hang a string of lights with CHD coasters clipped as decorations. Set a small table in front with a few curated items: a hoodie draped over a chair, a mug, and a phone grip. Guests can hold the mug or grip as a prop. The key is consistent lighting across all photos so they look professional. Ask guests to tag your personal account as well as the official CHD account for reposts.

Hoodies, t-shirts, and mugs are top picks. Hoodies keep everyone cozy during long episodes, t-shirts are versatile for matching, and mugs double as props. Phone grips are perfect for group photos.
Can I order in bulk for a group of friends?
Yes, but the store doesn't list bulk discounts. Add multiple quantities of the same item to your cart. Shipping is calculated per order, so consolidating saves on fees. Order at least 10 days in advance for standard shipping to the US.

Size down for a cropped look with high-waisted pants, or size up for an oversized vibe with leggings. Pair with the CHD cap or phone grip for added flair. Avoid bulky accessories that compete with the hoodie.
