Pajama Parties aren’t just for kids. A grown-up slumber party can be just the thing to help unwind and relieve stress. Here are a few ideas to make it a hit for everyone.
Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are always the highlights of every party, and a slumber party is no exception. Consider ordering from a delicious favorite restaurant like Lone Wolf Pizza in Destin. Or create your pizza bar or buffet to enjoy throughout the night. Cheese platters, fruit and veggie platters, nachos, pretzels, and potato chips are all good options that party-goers can eat all night long.
Consider getting an assortment of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Margarita mixes and cocktails are often a hit for late-night parties. Other guests may prefer tea or coffee to enjoy as the evening advances. A variety of drinks will keep everyone happy long into the night.
Decorations
While decorations aren’t necessary for a pajama party, twinkle lights can make a room warm and cozy. Floor pillows, warm blankets, and cozy throws also help guests get comfortable for a fun night.
Activities
Activities for pajama parties will depend on the guests. Some people enjoy fun activities like playing games and telling stories. Clue, Pictionary, Catch Phrase, and Charades can be great fun. Other people enjoy watching a movie marathon. Romantic comedies or movies about friendship make great movie ideas.
Party Favors
While party favors aren’t necessary at an adult pajama party, they are fun. Sleep masks or sugar scrubs make great party favors. A bag of gourmet coffee in the morning is a great way to send guests home.
Indoor Camping
Real camping takes a lot of work and planning. It’s easy to create a similar experience without dirt and bugs by setting up a camping station in the living room. A tent, pillows, and blanket can create a cozy setup that will leave guests feeling like they’ve just braved the great outdoors. Consider buying a sky light that projects the galaxy on the living room ceiling. Guests can fall asleep under the stars.
Make It a Spa Night
Everyone enjoys a trip to the spa. Consider bringing the spa to the home. Get blankets, pillows, candles, and essential oils to set the mood. Provide guests with face masks, massages, and other spa treatments to make the party relaxing and special. A pajama party can be a great place to try a new makeover. Paint nails, try new makeup, and create an at-home photo booth to capture the memories.
In the Kitchen
Cooking and baking together in the kitchen is a great way to bond with friends. A friendly competition for baking the best cupcakes or cookies is always fun. Everyone can come with their favorite recipe and ingredients, and guests can cook together to create dinner, breakfast, or snacks to enjoy.
Dance Party
Blast the music, turn on the disco lights and start a dance party. Guests can dress up in fancy outfits for a formal feel or dance in their pajamas for a comfortable, laid-back time. A karaoke machine can provide endless laughs, especially when friends can’t sing. Be sure to grab a camera and capture these moments.
A slumber party can be as simple or complicated as one wants to make it. It is a great way to spend time with friends and relieve stress.
