1. Plan

Organization is the key for a successful sleepover party. Plan and write down as much in detail as possible.

  • How many people can you accommodate?
  • What date will not only fit you, but also all of your friends?
  • Who is coming? Make a list of all your friends with their full name. Keep a record of their parents contact information as well. A phone number, their address. It might be handy for later on if an emergency occurs or any difficulties arise.

2. Select A Theme

Every party needs a theme. It is more fun. Be creative and find something that interests you and your friends as well. The choice can be a collective one. Get the feedback of every one. Have a sleepover party in a “All in pink” or “All in white” design. Decoration will accordingly be all in that specific color. Maybe your theme will be Flower Power. Make sure to have plenty of flowers to decorate. Provide your guests with matching pajamas.

3. Invitations

Once that is clear you should be ready to send out invitations to all of your friends. You agreed on a time, you have a theme. That’s enough information to make a formal invitation. Sending out an invitation makes it more special and more likely for the guests to really commit on attending the event. In the invitation outline as much details about the party, e.g. where, when, approx. how many guests will be there, what they need to bring, etc. Invitations can be given in cards or you can send out the invite via emails, or e-cards.

4. Food & Drinks

An empty stomach can make some people angry. Food is always an important factor for a successful sleepover party. You may have heard that saying “Love goes through the stomach”, or “Sugar makes happy”, “Chocolate makes me happy”. Find out what your friends like to eat and if someone has an allergy about a specific food. Make a nice combination of fresh food and sweet stuff. Have a variety of drinks for all guests ready. Hot drinks or cold drinks, have ice cubes ready in the freezer.

5. Gift Ideas

Who does not like gifts? Tell your friends how grateful you are that they came to your sleepover party. Gifts don’t need to be expensive. They should come from the heart and be meaningful. Give your friends something they can use. How about a cute sleeping mask?

6. Activities

There are so many possibilities to entertain your guests at a sleepover party. Movie night, karaoke, color your nails, guys talk. Get creative and find something that suits all.

7. Bedding / Sleeping Arrangement

You know the number of people that will be there for your sleepover. Make sure to have enough pillows and covers for every one. Think on time to clean the bedding and have some extra spare ones in case a friend feels colder than the others.

8. Space For Belongings

Depending on how many friends will come, you may need to think also about having enough space for their belongings. You don’t want their clothes and bags to mix up. In that way, things can get lost and you will end up with a sad friend who is missing some items.

9. Photo Memories

Keep and store the good moments. Make enough photos of your sleepover party and share them later on with your friends.

Enjoy Your Sleepover Party!
