Sleepover Party Planning and Ideas


Have a Sleepover Party



Getting girls together for a night of fun is a great way for them to bond. If you are needing help with planning, this blog is a great place to start! Here you will find party ideas, tips, products and links to make putting your party together a SNAP!

This theme is great for Birthdays, Summertime Escapes or just for fun!


Make a List and a Budget

When planning a Sleepover, it's important to plan for the guests you will have, activities you will do and make sure you stay in budget.

As the host, you want to make sure you can handle everything, so make a list.

Here is a sample:

* Get Sleepover invitations and send them 2-3 weeks in advance. Keep your guests between 8-10 girls. Give them a list of items they need to bring.
* Get Sleepover themed Party Supplies (link provided)
* Make a list of Activities to do that are age appropriate. Here are some samples:
Have a Movie Night, Have a Spa Night, Have a Beauty Show, Have a Glow Party
* Buy Makeup, Nail Polish, Spa items (if applicable)
* Find Movies and Games that are age appropriate (they are staying up all night)

It's a good idea to start shopping for the items you need for your party in advance to help you keep in budget. You can find girl makeup and nail polish for a reasonable price and put them in cute Themed Boxes or Purses to give to your guests as they arrive.


Decide on a Theme


Because your guests are staying the night, have plenty of activities, games and movies on hand to keep them entertained.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Have a Scavenger Hunt


* Make a list of items and hide them throughout the house.
* Divide the girls into 2 groups and give them a time limit to find their list items.
* When the time is up, have the girls come back and with their items they have to give a makeover to a girl you pick from each group. You can make up the rule like the prettiest, funniest etc. Give them a time limit for this task as well.
* Pick the winner of the group and give them all some fun party favors.

Have a Beauty Show:

* Buy some roller paper to make a Catwalk
* Find clothes, shoes, hats etc. that you can use to have the girls dress up. Resale shops or items from older siblings would do the trick.
* Have the girls dress up or you can have a team to dress them up, do their hair and makeup. (This would be good for a small group of girls)
* Play some fun music and let the girls walk down the Catwalk!
* Take Pictures of them for a keepsake.

Have a Spa Party
* Buy items for manicures and pedicures, you can find items at the dollar store or other discount stores.
* Grab some helpers
* If you have bean bags, put them in a semi-circle or you can use chairs.
* Play music and have snacks and drinks
* Give them the Spa Treatment!
