Slumber Party Planning Tips

By Elba Fenwick


Slumber parties are a rite of passage for children and while it might be a bit exhausting for parents, your children probably would enjoy this special type of party. You can make the evening a big success with a bit of creative advance planning. Here are a few tips and tricks to make your slumber party event fabulous.

You can select a theme for your party, such as a spa party or a Lego party or simply plan a series of events for the evening. The kids definitely need to have a few planned activities. You might consider having a karaoke contest, setting up a craft table, playing some games and winding down by showing a movie. You can even have the theme of the party center around the movie or vice-versa.

Your slumber party menu definitely needs some advance planning, as food is sure to be a highlight of the evening. To please a variety of children, you could set up a buffet where kids could create their own sandwiches or tacos or perhaps simply purchase a huge three-foot submarine sandwich. A backyard barbecue also can be a fun option, and the kids can enjoy hamburgers or perhaps grill hot dogs and marshmallows over a fire pit. You could even host a spa party with salads, cucumber water and fresh fruit.

Your dinner is an important element, but the kids really look forward to having dessert so rather than providing a plate of cookies or brownies, look for something a bit out of the box - the pizza box, that is. Chocolate Pizza Company creates and ships many amazing varieties of gourmet chocolate pizza, and your children and their guests are sure to love this treat. The pizzas even arrive packed in actual pizza boxes, and the kids are sure to be amazed when you open the box and show off this unique dessert. Best of all, you don't even have to cook or clean up after dessert.

There is a full menu of chocolate pizzas to consider with dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate crusts. The milk and dark options are created by mixing melted chocolate with English toffee, and then you can select some toppings or perhaps just a splash of white chocolate. The white chocolate pizzas are a blend of chocolate, almonds and cranberries. Another fun idea would be to also purchase some of Chocolate Pizza Company's other signature treat, which is Peanut Butter Wings. These crispy delights are created by dipping a mix of creamy peanut butter and crunchy potato chips into milk or dark chocolate.

When it comes time to sleep, set up a fun area for the sleeping bags. You can even blow up air mattresses or put down mats to make things more comfortable. If you want to get really fancy, hang up string lights which will provide ambiance and a nightlight. While it often seems like there is little actually slumbering at a slumber party, a cozy place to rest is an essential element.
