Slumber Party Ideas Slumber Parties are always fun and with these great ideas and things to do at a sleepover the slumber party is sure to be a success!  party1 Invitation Ideas It’s easy to send out great sleepover invitations to all of your friends. You can either buy great looking invitations with pictures of sleeping bags, flashlights, pajamas, fuzzy slippers, etc. or make them yourself.  Get creative with the sleepover invitation. For e.g. Buy plain pillowcases and write the slumber party information on the pillowcase (not too large – in a corner of the pillowcase or attach party information separately) and ask that they decorate one side of the pillowcase with their name and bring it to the party.   During the party have everyone sign each other’s pillowcases on the back. What to Write on the Invitation Party2
  • Date and Day of the Sleepover: June 6, 2008 – Friday night
  • What to bring: Sleeping bag, pillow, bathing suit, towel, anything special that they will need for the party.
  • When the sleepover begins and ends: Example – 7:00 PM – 10:00 AM
  • Place of the Sleepover: Make sure to write in your address. Friends might know where you live, but parents will want to have this information
  • Telephone number and/or Email for RSVP: Make sure to write in your telephone number. 
  • If you will be serving dinner, pizza or snacks (so your friends will know whether to eat or wait until they get to the party to have dinner). Example – We will be having pizza!

Tips
  1. Buy extra toothbrushes and keep them unopened in a drawer in case someone forgets to bring one to the party.
  2. Don’t invite too many guests to the Slumber Party at one time – too many personalities increases drama! Up to 5 is usually fine, more if they all know each other and get along.
  3. Serve healthy snacks along with the junk food for a balanced sleepover. Do not serve sugary treats an hour before bedtime. Give them early evening allowing time to burn them off.
