I have successfully avoided hosting a sleepover party 'til now, but think I will finally have to give in this time.
I need ideas for all of it, so it is fun for the girls and doesn't send me to the loony bin. If it matters, I am a single Mum, so there will only be one adult to facilitate and manage!
Here are some questions:
How many should we host - ideally? Space won't be a problem, and people 'round here tend to tell their friends to just bring a sleeping bag and pillow.
Food suggestions - I'll have to feed them in the evening and in the morning. And maybe some snacks too. Any ideas that will be yummy and easy to prepare much appreciated.
Activities and/or games - need suggestions for how to keep them occupied. Don't want to do a pamper party, as that has been done over and over. Also don't want the house completely trashed, so please no suggestions for extra-messy activities. Also, party will be late Feb, so everything will happen inside the house. One last thing: dd and her friends are mostly book loving academic and musical 'geeks' (self described), but of course, they love to have fun.
Schedule - What time should i aim to have guests arrive and depart? Also, i know they'll stay up late, but don't want them awake 'til midnight and up at 6AM. Do I insist on a 'lights out and mouths shut' time? Or just leave them to it?
i know if this is planned well, it won't be a nightmare (could actually be fun!) - but would dearly love to hear from those who have attempted similar and lived to tell the tale.
Thanks so much.
