Are you tired of your daily parenting routine and need a mommy break? A sleepover with your girl gang is the perfect way to unwind and ditch your mommy mode for a while. Sleepover parties are a hot favorite among Americans, and they are not just for teens. Even moms can indulge in them to get respite from their busy schedules.
But if you plan to host the event, you must think outside the box to make it memorable and wild. After all, your besties will expect to have a lot of fun during the break from their daily role. Fortunately, you can make the event entertaining and enjoyable with a few crazy yet practical ideas. Here are some ways to add spice to the evening.
Commit to a proper break
Planning a sleepover should start with committing to a proper break from your routine. Ensure everyone on your guest list should follow suit. You can send your partner or kids to the grandparents’ place.
Alternatively, you can book a vacation rental for a day to have the party venue to yourself. Ditch the mommy guilt, and let your spouse bear the workload for a day. Ask your girl gang to leave stress at home as well. You all deserve it, so let your hair down and have a blast!
Pick your guest list
When it comes to sleepover planning, picking your guest list is one of the most important things. Since it is a mommy sleepover, include only the moms in your group in your list.
You will have a lot more fun when everyone has the same goal- to unwind and de-stress after leaving the kids’ home. The more the merrier, so you should actually plan a big event.
Plan some activities
Once you sort your guest list, planning some activities should be next on your mind. Creating a schedule with a mix of relaxation and fun is a good idea. Start with a DIY spa session to make everyone pampered and relaxed. You can paint each other’s nails, give each other massages, and set up a DIY face mask station.
Stock up on games like Rubbish Options and Scrabble to have more fun. Remember to have your favorite playlist and popular movies at hand.
Indulge in food and drinks
No sleepover is complete without food and drinks. You can plan a potluck or order food from your favorite restaurant to share the burden. Stock up on bite-sized snacks to keep everyone busy during card games and binge-watching.
Serve wine or beer to get the party started. You can ask your girl gang to drink without limits because they need not drive back home.
Set up a comfy sleep space
Organizing a sleepover means setting up a comfy and cozy sleep space for your gang. They will probably want to sleep well after a long night of fun. Moreover, it is a chance to catch up on sleep while your kids are away.
Throw some mattresses on the living room floor so that everyone can be together. Provide plenty of pillows, cushions, and blankets for extra comfort and warmth.
Hosting a sleepover for your girl gang is a great way to take a break from mommy stresses and have fun with your friends to plan a slumber to remember!
