Whether you’ve been invited to a sleepover party or are hosting your own, we have put together some tips and games so you can turn yours into the ultimate event everyone remembers.
Whether you're hosting or heading to a friend’s house, your first sleepover can feel like a big deal and that’s totally normal! You might be feeling super excited one minute and a little nervous the next.
What if you forget something? What if you’re on your period? What if you can’t fall asleep?
Don’t worry...we’ve got you covered! This guide is packed with tips to help you feel confident, prepared, and ready to have the best night ever.
From planning the perfect setup to handling any surprises, you’ll be a sleepover pro in no time.
Make Your Invitations Stand Out: Design your own sleepover invites with glitter, stickers, and a fun theme. It’s a great way to get everyone excited!
Decorate Your Space: Use fairy lights, homemade banners, and cosy cushions or bean bags. Leave space for games and sleeping bags
Plan the Snacks: Ask guests to bring one snack each, popcorn, marshmallows, or fun bars. If you're allowed, order pizza or make your own as a party game!
Give Siblings a Special Night Too: If you have younger siblings, ask your parents if they can stay with a relative so everyone feels special.
Keep It Cosy: Your room isn’t a TARDIS! Limit guests to around 5. If someone feels left out, plan a summer garden party for more friends.
If you’ve been invited to a sleepover and are worried about starting your period or being on your period, here are some tips.
Don’t Stress the Schedule: It’s okay if not everyone wants to play every game. Go with the flow and enjoy the moment.
Keep It Kind: Put a poster on your door: “No teasing, no drama!” If something feels uncomfortable, speak up. Saying “no” is totally okay.
