Sleepovers for 13 yr old girls

My DD had a sleepover for her 13th at ours with 5 friends who mix with each other at school anyway so social distancing isn't a thing, last weekend. Now she's saying she wants them all to have a sleepover tomorrow again at ours with them for one of the other girl's birthday coz we have a bigger spare room they can sleep in. I initially said no why can't they just do it at the others girl's house as it's her birthday but my DD said there wasn't much room at hers so she's already said they can without asking me although she says she did but I thought she was saying that they were going to have a sleepover, I just assumed it would be at the other girl's even though she says she did say which I'm not sure to believe (she prob muttered under her breath just so she can say she did say it. ) Am I being unreasonable? Is it usual girls always do big sleepovers? My older son only had a few so I'm not familiar with teenage girls.

.... actually I have just re read this . It HAS to be a wind up ! Had sleepover last weekend and another one this weekend . Surely there are not a group of mothers who are that selfish / insightless/ idiotic * delete as appropriate

Teen girls do seem to love a group sleepover. We had an incident over the summer where DD could have had one friend to stay (but no more than one under rule of 6). She chose not to have anyone as choosing one of the group would have felt too difficult. They really do come as a pack. At the moment, obviously, they don't come over at all!
