Welcome all. I am going to dedicate a day writing to each one of our birthday party ideas. Today I am going to focus on our girls sleepover birthday box. This box is one of my favorites. I acutally don't have a daughter old enough to enjoy this box but I can not wait until my almost 2 year old reaches the time she is ready for a slumber party.
One of my favorite items in this party box is the monogrammed pillowcase for the birthday girl. The birthday girl gets her choice of fabrics allowing her to pick her favorite colors or try and match her bedroom colors. These have been very popular lately especially with families getting ready to send a child off to camp.
This party is designed for an older crowd - ages 6 - 12 that don't need as much parent entertainment. One idea to make the party exciting is a "Come as you are" Party. We use to do this often when I was younger. You hand deliver the birthday invites and try and catch the guests in their pjs. They have to wear whatever they have on when they get their invites to the party.
For this party I would recommend having the guests arrive around 5pm. You can begin the party with some fun and games. One game I love is the commercial creation game. You divide the guests into 2 or 3 groups. You give each group a pre-prepared bag of objects that they have to use to create a commercial. You give the groups 15 - 20 minutes to create their commercial. You then have each group present its new commercial creation. Be sure to have a video camera ready.
After some fun and games - everyone will be ready for dinner and cake. Polka Dotz provides you with all the paper products you need to get in the sleepover spirt.
After dinner, have all the girls change into their pjs if they are not already. It is time for using the piggy paint toenail polish. This polish is completely non-toxic and made for tweens. It comes in exciting colors and is easy to use. The party comes with 3 bottles of piggy paint and toe seperators. Have the girls pair off and give each other an amazing pedicure.
As their toes are drying (you can speed up this process with a hair dryer), have the girls choose one of the 2 movies that come in the party box. They can also try out their new lipglosses or body glitter. Have the girls get ready for the movie by getting out their sleeping bags and putting on their new "littlemissmatched" toe socks. This will be sure to get all the girls giggling.
As they are watching the movie, you can pop the popcorn that comes with the birthday box and drop off the "movie time" candy that is provided.
Afther the movie you can leave the girls to their own imagination with some suggested chit-chat topics or prepared funny questions to read and a suggestion to get to bed soon.
When the girls get up in the morning, everyone will have enjoyed a wonderful time.
