Simple “un” Slumber Party
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!

Great party details! Thanks for sharing…and I have had a dog do the SAME thing to one of my cakes. I learned to cool baked goods IN the microwave (which he could not reach).
Hee hee, the dog ate my birthday cake! At least she got a cake, I only got 1 growing up!
What a fun party and a neat way to do it so they didn’t stay all night.
Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.
What fun!! I love the idea of the whole party, I bet the girls had a blast!! 🙂 haha…too funny “the dog got the cake” xo Holly
I love the idea of the party! I will have to remember that for sure!
SO. DANG. CUTE. My best friend’s daughter just asked for a slumber party the other day & they settled on an “un-slumber” party – pinning this for her!
Totally genius! Wish I had a youngster to celebrate in such fashion, but I’m passing this on to my friends who do….
Fun party with great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!!
Love the table set up as a bed!! ADORABLE!! Great job!
Such 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.
Sooooo creative! I love it!
Love it and so does my 10 y.o.! We’re going with this for her birthday in a few weeks!
