One year for her 11th birthday, my daughter requested a “un” slumber party. All of the fun of a sleepover party without the sleepover! She sat down and made a list of what she wanted to do for her party and we pretty much stuck to it.
I’ve always had mixed feelings about sleepover parties. I don’t want to get into that debate here. One year I just didn’t feel like a slumber birthday party was the right idea for my daughter so instead, we planned an “un-slumber party”.
We did all of the fun things that you’d normally do at a sleepover party, but saved ourselves the grumpy kids and a late night of an actual slumber party!
Un Slumber Birthday Party Details:
Invites:
I found some cute pre-made party digital files online and made some cute invites. I just printed them out on photo paper, they ended up costing less than 25 cents each.
The invites were created with a digital kit from MYGRAFICO.
Slumber Party Activities:
1- Decorate Pillowcases.
2- Watch a Movie.
3- Make S’Mores.
Party Decorations & Favors:
Slumber Party Food:
- Store Bought Doughnuts
- Individual Cereals
- Chocolate Milk Cartons
- Fruit
- Juice
- & A Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.

June 10, 2012 at 11:09 AMSuch a cute party! I am in LOVE with the cracker jack boxes for my Fourth of July party but I went to Costco yesterday and they didn’t have them. How long ago did you buy them? Just wondering if it is worth calling around to other locations.
