Everything You Need for an Epic Sleepover

Planning a sleepover for the end of the week is an exciting treat that gives you something to look forward to. Sleepovers are a great way to spend time with friends, relax and just have fun. Plus, they can even lead to new friendships! However, if you’re looking for some ideas to jazz up your next get together, we have you covered! Get inspired, and check out these ideas for your next epic and unforgettable slumber party.

Overnight Spa

To re-create your favorite spa treatments, pick out some delicious smelling lotions, facial masks or moisturizers and nail polish. If you really want to take it to the next level, do some research, and create your own DIY recipes for ultimate luxury and relaxation. Take turns giving each other facials, and if you want to make things even more relaxing, spa foot baths and nail dryers are an extra-special addition!

Art at Your Fingertips

Channel your inner-artist. Track down some extra brushes and select your favorite nail polishes – the more colors you have to choose from, the better! Black and white are great base colors, while extra-bright hues can add a fun and energetic touch. Plus, polishes packed with glitter are great for glamming up the night. Before everyone heads home, let them choose a bottle of their favorite color to take with them. Consider setting out a couple of beauty organizers to help store all of the other accessories you’ll need.

Time for Makeup

Putting makeup on other people is always a fun experience. However, if you and your friends are up for a daring and hilarious challenge, try adding blindfolds to the mix! Applying makeup – lipstick, foundation and mascara – without looking is great for laughs. Another idea is to make it into a three-person competition with one model, one blindfolded makeup artist and one director per team. The trio with the best final result wins. And, if you want to give your friends a cool and convenient take-home gift, pick out some brightly colored towels for washing off all that makeup – you can even have them monogramed!

Bring Out the Camera

For this, it’s best to select your funkiest clothing and accessories. Grab different hats, earrings, bracelets and other costume jewelry. Faux-fur boots are another stylish possibility. Then, pose for your best shots, relax and have fun with it! If you want to take things to the next level, host a themed fashion show. Create funny outfits for the beach, wintertime, an awards ceremony or a school dance. Create a makeshift runway and award everyone points as they strut their stuff.

Practice for Hollywood

Before everyone shows up, write down some life situations on pieces of paper. For example, you might include asking someone on a date, giving a graduation speech, playing a basketball game, loading your luggage onto an airplane or anything else you can think of. Then, perform short skits with your friends, coming up with lines off the top of your head. If you want, have someone record them, or if you’re camera shy, just keep it as a hilarious activity. Guessing movie titles is another fun possibility.

Cozy Cinema Setup

A classic sleepover activity, a movie marathon is always a crowd-pleasing favorite. Make it special with a snack buffet and be sure to have plenty of sleeping bags in front of the TV so you can joke around until everyone’s ready for bed.

Your Own Pizzeria

Food is a fun and important component of any sleepover. However, DIY meals like pizza are fun because you can prepare and bake it yourself! Get creative with recipes – the sky is the limit when it comes to the dough, sauce and toppings! Have all your ingredients prepared and separated into individual bowls. Fruit smoothies are another DIY option that lets everyone create a unique and tasty treat.

Hunting for Treasures

If you’re planning on giving small gifts or favors to your guests, you can also make the presents part of the celebration. Wrapping them up and hiding them around the house for a scavenger hunt is a creative possibility. Try incorporating clues to make it even more fun and exciting for your guests.
