make a night of it
Extend the evening
To make a night of it is to extend an evening's activities well into the night, typically by continuing to celebrate, drink, or socialize rather than going home at a reasonable hour.
The phrase suggests a deliberate decision to abandon restraint: We only planned on dinner, but then we made a night of it.
