Are you looking for an intimate way to celebrate a birthday or hang out with your friends? Being creative and thoughtful when hosting your friends can be hard, but we are full of ideas! Being an adult does not mean you can’t be a kid anymore. You and your friends have overdone the bottomless brunches and nights out at this point, so why not try out something cute and fun? There are so many things that you can do to make your slumber party memorable and epic, so let us help you with a few ideas. Here are seven things you can do to make your girl’s sleepover perfect.
Food Plate Ideas
If you can get this part of the party on lock, you have done 60% of the work. Make your snack and food selection creative and yummy, and you will have your girls hooked. One way to do it is to make the preparation of the food part of the party. This cuts the work for you, but it is also a fun bonding opportunity. Why don’t you try having a DIY Taco Bar or making it Pizza Night? All you will have to do is make sure to prep all the ingredients, and then you and your girls can work together! If you are not about the manual labour, order some platters for the night or some good old takeout. Throughout the night, make sure your snack table is always stocked. Have some popcorn and sweet treats to nibble on as you ladies chat the night away! The next essential part of any girl’s slumber party should be right next to the food.
Drinks Selection
We said the night had to be intimate and that does not mean boring. Every successful slumber party has to have a drinks station flowing in abundance! Make it fun and have everyone come up with a cocktail idea they want to make for all the girls. This could be fun, and you can take turns being the bartender for the night. The drink-making is a perfect opportunity for you guys to make the prettiest girly drinks you have ever seen. For your sober friends, you can have a mocktail station, too so they don’t miss out on the fun. This is the one night where you don’t have to worry about a designated driver because you all can pass out on the bean bags and sofas at the end of the night!
Face Masks and Other Skincare Routines
Is it even a girl’s night if you guys don’t swap some of your skincare routines? This night is the perfect opportunity for you to finally try out those DIY face mask tutorials you have been saving from YouTube and TikTok! All you really need are some raw ingredients like avocado and honey and you can play skincare specialist. Another fun thing to do would be to make lip scrubs using sugar and honey to scrub off some dead skin. We have shared our skincare secrets here, but challenge your friends to come with some of theirs so you can exchange some good information! The next essential for your slumber party is your entertainment!
Games
Any good slumber party also has a good game selection. You want to play games that will be fun for everyone and keep you guys laughing through the night. You can’t go wrong with your classic Truth or Dare and Never Have I Ever, but we have some other suggestions that we think you might like. To leave each other in stitches with laughter, try and do the blindfolded makeover challenge where one of you does the other's makeup while their eyes are covered. This will make for some interesting results, so make sure you do it before your face masks! After trying this out, you can resort to your normal board games, like 30 seconds, to keep you guys busy!
Good Movie Selection
After you guys have talked about everybody and their mother, you are going to want to watch some movies. A movie marathon of all of your group favorites can be a good way to end the night as you guys wind down. There are some classics that have to make it on to the list. Mean Girls has so many quotable lines, you and your girlfriends probably know it word by word! You can also theme the movie night by either going for a horror film selection or choosing to cry your eyes with movies like Titanic!
Matching PJS
If you are celebrating a birthday party, you can get some matching, personalized pajamas for your posse. This is a special touch that your girlfriends can take home and wear again. If you can not afford to get brand-new matching sets for your whole crew, you can propose a theme, and everyone can dress in the same colors. This will look good in your pictures, and you can take some to remember your cute party!
Decorate The Space
One final thing you can do to make your evening special is to decorate the space. If everybody is coming in cute pink pajamas, why don’t you turn your space into a pink paradise too? It does not take a lot to add these final touches. All you need is a few balloons and ribbons, which can turn your living room around and set the mood for a night of fun. For an extra special touch, you can tie ribbons to your wine glasses or decorate your plates with cute stickers!
