Sleepover

{how to have a sleepover}

Do you want to have a sleepover party, but scared that it'll be lame? Inviting your best friend over, but don't think she'll have a good time? Well, you've come to the right place! This guide will teach you the techniques to a perfect sleepover!

1. Make sure you have lots of snacks. Snacks such as chips, cookies, ice cream, soda, and candy are all good ideas for snacks. Yeah pizza might not be a SNACK but make sure you have pizza!

2. Don't forget the main course. If you're having your friend over around dinnertime, you'll need to feed her something more than chips. Try pizza, tacos, McDonalds, Chinese food, sushi, or even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or if you have time, sliders. Keep in mind, you don't have to eat inside, you and your friend(s) can always go out for lunch just don't forget the change!

3. If you are trying to stay awake for a while, try healthy foods for long term energy. If you think the perfect sleepover contains just junk food (i thought that too but..) then you're wrong. Healthy foods can be fun too! But lets just not talk about this because it's hard for me.

4. Listen to your favorite music. Listen to music on an iPod, CD player, MP3 player or a radio. Nothing gets a party started like turning up some cool jams to rock the night away. If you have a karaoke machine, you could do karaoke with your friend. You could also make up a dance for your favorite song. 5sos, Janoskians, All Time Low, Fall Out Boy One Direction, AC DC are just some bands I suggest you try listening to XD

5. Go out to a salon if you want a makeover. Sometimes you need to get pampered. If your friend(s) are girly or just enjoy being at the salon, then go there! Manicures, curling/straightening/crimping your hair, getting a trim or just dying your hair are options you could choose with your friend(s) at the salon!

6. Ask about and discuss girlie things. This is best for the evening. Drag through some blankets, pillows, and snacks because it's time to get girlie and confidential. Any girlie questions bugging you? A guy on your mind? Thoughts? Feelings? Feel free to share all worries or secrets in this bonding activity that will bring you girls closer and put your mind at rest. You never know, they might know more than you about girlie problems!

7. Judge people. Some kids you don't like in school, you want to judge? Siblings you want to judge? Well there's your chance! Just make sure everyone there can keep a secret. Don't say things too mean because one of your friend(s) might be friends with the person you're judging! Things will be pretty tense afterwards.

8. Play Truth or Dare. If you've bought a Truth or Dare game on your iPod Touch, you could use that, or you could simply make it up yourselves, either way, there's bound to be some laughs. It's always fun to play truth or dare at sleepovers, no matter how old you get!

9. Make a website. It can be really fun to make a completely random website such as, "the anatomy of a tissue box." That will get the giggles flowing, and time will fly by! If that's not your thing, you could start a blog for the two of you to write in. Write entries about anything you'd like. (youtube, wattpad 😉, instagram, keek etc. these apps are just a few ideas you could use ;) )

10. Make a video of you and your friend(s) and record your sleepover. This will be fun to watch back again and again, so make sure it's a good one! If you want to upload it anywhere, youtube and keek are recommendable!

11. Tell scary stories. It can be a lot of fun to sit in a dark room and tell scary stories. If you're going to do this, make sure that your friend likes scary stories, because otherwise she'll have a horrible time! Or watch some scary movies, anything scary will do! (the movie Annabelle is something I suggest you try watching!)

12. Watch a movie. Browse the movie store or watch on your TV, computer, or on your Wii (if you have one and it has Netflix). Make sure it's something you both want to see, or your friend(s) will be bored. Nothing sets the mood for an awesome sleepover better than grabbing some popcorn and watching a classic chick flick! (chick flick lmao)

13. Watch funny videos online. Show your friend your favorite funny videos online and have her show you her favorites. If you girls don't have favorites, just search randomly until you find videos that you like. Watch some Viners or youtubers! That'll set the mood for anyone.

14. sTAY UP ALL NIGHT (all nighter ;)

15. Go to bed. After a night of exciting bonding, you girls will be tired. Bedtime should be late and fun but responsible. Casually suggest crashing at whatever time you see fit. Change into your pajamas after dinner and suggest that everyone to wear pigtails for fun. Turn on a dim light and show each girl to her sleeping place. By about midnight, if anyone is being disruptive, they should be gently sent to sleep elsewhere to ensure comfort among your guests. In the morning, chill out, join your family for breakfast (this will give your friends a chance to meet them), thank each guest, and congratulate yourself on your successful sleepover!
