You love the idea of the whole sleepover party vibe – the teepees, the colorful themes, the pajamas, the games, the snacks – but you just don’t know whether your child and their guests are ready for a full night of excitement. If you’re not quite sure, why not consider something a little more outside-the-box?

Try one of these unique twists on the classic sleepover! Get ready for an unforgettable day full of smiles, laughter, and memories! From breakfast-in-bed to a crafty fashion show, you can create an experience that your child and their friends will never forget – without anyone having to worry about spending the night away from home (that goes for moms and dads, too!).

Half-Slumber Party

Start your celebration at the perfect time - maybe in the afternoon or just before the sun sets. Fill the evening with all your favorite slumber party activities – dance party, scavenger hunts, games or crafts. Serve finger foods and snacks and then as the night winds down, get everyone in their pajamas, pop some popcorn and pick out your favorite movie - it's the perfect way to end the night! Then, send everyone home with a smile on their face before bedtime.

Reverse Slumber Party

Start your party in the morning! Have your guests arrive in their PJs and jump straight into a breakfast-in-bed movie marathon! Then, let them get creative and unleash their fashionista with a aluminum foil or toilet paper fashion show or get glam with makeovers and spa treatments. Or, get crafty with fun games, activities and crafts. Whatever your child chooses, it's sure to be a day to remember!
