Slumber Party Fun - With or Without the Slumber

Slumber party themes tend to work best for girls, although boys can have sleepovers too. Somewhere around the age of ten would be a good starting out point for parties of this nature. To start your slumber party planning, first consider who to invite and form a list. These invitations should be mailed giving guests a couple of weeks notice. Invitations can be postcards, sleeping bag cutouts or anything you choose from a party supply store.

A simple yet fun theme would be a night of food and fun. Request that each girl bring some of her favorite things to the party. Examples could be a favorite snack, movie, magazine or game. They might not have time for everything, but leaving all of their options open is better than hearing, Were bored. This allows them to move from activity to activity with minimal help from you while they eat. Each girl should also bring a sleeping bag and pillow if and when it comes time to go to bed.

Another great activity is makeovers. Buy them cheap makeup from a dollar store or if they are old enough they may have their own. Set up a Salon and let the girls experimenting. See who can be made into the scariest or goofiest. If its a slightly older bunch, the makeovers could be more serious and result in some great new looks. Facials or hand and foot scrub kits are other pampering ideas that could also make your party a hit.

Plan a nice breakfast for the morning before all your guests depart. Pancakes are a good choice; simple yet delicious and easy to make for a crowd. Breakfast is the perfect way to cap off a nice night with friends and end the experience on a great note.
