Prepare mini spa treatments for all of your guests by stocking up on face masks, moisturizers, lip balm, and nail polish. Guests can be pampered in a variety of ways, from DIY activities to hiring a professional or two. Finish the night off with some popcorn and a teen comedy or drama.
Go camping:
Who’s up for a night of stargazing? If your guests are tweens or older and can camp safely outside with or without adults around, this is a fantastic idea for a sleepover party you can throw for them.
As the host, you can provide the tent, sleeping bags, and pillows for your guests while they enjoy a relaxing evening in the backyard. Contact Sleepover Party Shop whenever you need sleepover party supplies in New York City or New Jersey. Everything from opulent teepee tents to gifts is offered in their Retail Party Shop. Be sure to stock up on graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate so you can make s’mores and enjoy them while stargazing and listening to scary ghost stories as the night winds down.

Adults can have slumber parties too! The best friends forever slumber party theme is perfect for a bridal shower, a baby shower, or an anniversary.

Hollywood Sleepover:
Throw a Hollywood-themed sleepover for your guests. Make your house a luxurious retreat where you can unwind and enjoy your favorite movies.
You can have a Hollywood-themed sleepover by setting up a red carpet, having your guests wear their best pajamas for a fashion show, and then having them pose in front of the backdrop of your homemade photo booth using movie-related props. Make sure everyone has a comfy blanket or cushion to curl up on while they watch movies, snack, and chat.
Cool Stuff to Do at a Sleepover:
Whether you’re planning a sleepover to encourage guests to kick back and relax or get up and move, we’ve got some fun ideas for games and activities that are sure to be a hit.
Spa Treatments:
Does it even count as a sleepover if no one gets pampered? At night, you and your guests can have a spa night by giving each other manicures or making face masks from kitchen ingredients. Mini pampering kits make nice party favors, so look for mini beauty items and tools available at Sleepover Party Shop.
Scavenger Hunt:
A slumber party is no exception when it comes to scavenger hunts. Make a list of items that the guests of your party must find and bring back to you, and reward the winning guest or team with a small treat. Putting together something like this can be a lot of fun, particularly if you are good at hiding the items. Would you like to take things one step further? You can base your entire sleepover celebration on the idea of being a detective by showing an old-school “whodunit” movie, having guests dress up as detectives, and hosting a number of trivia games.
DIY Sleep Masks:
This is a great slumber party concept to try if your guests enjoy making things and being creative. Distribute blank sleep masks and have participants create their own designs. Make sure to give them a variety of accessories, such as fabric, stick-on jewels, and marker pens, so that they can truly make it their own. It’s not just something they can use that night, but something they can keep and use again.
Game Night:
A gaming night is the perfect party theme for a group of avid gamers. Play some card games or go for a casino theme if that’s appropriate for your audience, but don’t forget the classics like Scrabble and Ticket to Ride. Play video games instead. You can host a mini video game tournament and get competitive, or you can suggest some party staples like Mario Kart or Just Dance for everyone to enjoy.
Here’s a fun and sweet-filled game idea for your sleepover party

Party Food That Everyone Will Enjoy:
Food and drink are the lifeblood of any good party, and slumber parties have a lot of tasty sweet, and savory options that go well with the relaxed, homey atmosphere. You may be planning a sleepover to celebrate a birthday or a wedding, and need some suggestions for what to feed your guests.
Throwing a Pizza Party:
One can never go wrong with a pizza party. This is a quick and simple idea for slumber party catering, especially if you order it. Give your party guests the option of ordering pizza from a local joint or making their own at a pizza-making station you set up in the kitchen.
Donut or Cupcake Decoration:
Setting up a station where guests can decorate their own cupcakes or donuts is a safe bet. Have a table set up with a variety of donuts, cupcakes, and cake pops, both homemade and store-bought, so that your guests can decorate according to their own imaginations. You can decorate your cupcakes in any way you want by offering different kinds of frosting, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, and other edible decorations.
Disney Themed Cookies:
If your child loves Christmas, Mickey mouse, or sweet things then these Christmas cookies are the perfect treat idea!
Homemade Ice Cream Cones:
Who doesn’t have a sweet tooth for ice cream or sorbet? It’s a tried-and-true favorite at sleepovers. Make sure you have a lot of different flavors and the option to serve them in cups or cones. Then, let your guests serve themselves their favorites so they can eat them while watching a movie. Do you want to take this indulgence to a whole new level? Make sure you have some soda on hand so that guests can create their own soda floats at your party.
Little Cereal Boxes:
Consider what you’ll do to satisfy the appetites of your party guests the day after the celebration. Get some of the cute little boxes of cereal and set them out on the breakfast bar or table with a few spoons, bowls, and a glass of milk for a quick breakfast or late-night snack. If mini boxes are unavailable, self-serve cereal dispensers can be easily substituted.
