Here’s a Party Idea – An Adult Slumber Party

Slumber parties are not just for kids! Try the adult slumber party, a ladies night at home!

We all remember, as kids, attending those girlie slumber parties, where we sat around eating chips and dips, cookies, pizza and watching movies. Plenty of giggles and pillow fights added up to a whole lot of fun. Gossip was an essential. Just because we have now grown up is no reason that the slumber party can not be replicated. Adult slumber parties can be just as much fun. So what is the difference between these childhood parties and the grown up version, the adult slumber party? let us take a look.

Men do not generally go in for these types of adult social occasions. Their version is watching the sports events. On the other hand, women never seem to outgrow the chat over the fence, exchanging what men regard as inconsequential news.

So the next time the guys are planning the Saturday night football get together, you ladies can organize your adult slumber party! A girl’s night out at one of your homes.

What do you need for your adult slumber party? A few good friends, some party food and a little entertainment is about it. If some of you do not have a sleeping bag, borrow from the kids. Everyone brings their own pillow.

Holding an adult slumber party brings out the kid in you. You still enjoy the same menus, but if you want to make your party a little more sophisticated, you can  put a little gourmet pizazz into the mix. Make it an all ladies night, with some deli goodies and a few microwaveable exotics, such as lasagna, puff pastries and bite sized tasties ñ things you do not usually include in your normal shopping cart. Make a pot of coffee and you are all set.

Another way you can organize your menu is with a pot luck event, so no one has much work to do for the happening. Just coordinate your dishes, so you do not end up with ten pounds of potato salad. You can make it really easy and just order a couple of pizzas and divvy up the cost.

Adult slumber parties are so much fun, you might want to hold one once a month. Make it a regular event!

As for entertainment, you can vary it from party to party. It is a perfect opportunity to rent a ‘woman’s’ movie, meaning one your spouse thinks is sappy, like epic romances and the like. Do an online virtual makeover. You may decide to update your hair style, or experiment with new makeup products. Hold a wine tasting party and get up to speed on the intricacies of pairing, tasting and serving. If someone in your group is a talented crafter, ask them to teach a mini class so everyone can learn how it is done. Everyone has a hobby, so this could be a rotating entertainment plan.

So while the guys are sitting around getting rowdy and yelling about football ñ at someone else’s house, organize your adult slumber party. The ladies need a night out too!
