Having good friends by your side is something that we sometimes take for granted. We often get so caught up with life as we grow older and it always seems like there is less time for catching up with old buddies.

Usually when we get the chance to go for a bestie date the activities always revolve round going for lunch and at some point, it can get monotonous. Something you should try out this time round is a sleepover.

Planning a sleepover is a new refreshing way to spend time with your favorite girlfriends and it’s perfect because you’ll have enough time to catch up unlike an afternoon together.

At the same time, figuring out how to plan one can be tricky but don’t worry, because these ideas will inspire you on how to have an awesome sleepover with your gal pals:

Allow enough time for planning

Pulling off a successful sleepover isn’t always easy. There is a lot of planning that goes into it like picking a date when everyone’s schedule is free, sorting out the budget and organizing the sleeping arrangements.

As the main planner, having enough time to organize everything will help you have a smoother stress-free process. The attendees should also be notified early enough so that at least they have enough time to check if they will make it.

Brainstorm on fun activities to do

A fun sleepover should include some interesting activities. It might be a bit boring to just come together to sit and talk without anything interesting going on so you should ask your besties on suggestions on what you can do as you continue to plan.

If you’re a crowd that loves board games, figure out how which games you can play. If you enjoy simple activities like watching a movie, think of what you can watch together.

Select a good playlist

Music is the heart of every occasion. Although everyone has their own unique tastes when it comes to the genres, you can still figure out some common songs that everyone would enjoy.

Selecting a good playlist early will keep the party going and it also allows you to enjoy the night without dealing with the unnecessary task of deciding what to listen to.

Sort out the food and drinks

While you plan, decide whether you’ll be ordering takeout or if you want other options like hiring chefs to prepare the food for you. You can also choose to prepare the meals together which is also a way of bonding.

Confirm with the girls on what they would want and estimate a final budget that will take care of the food and drinks.

Think outside the box

When we think of a sleepover, we often lean towards having one is someone’s house. But the thing is, you can also do something new instead of going with the usual type of sleepover party.

You can plan an out of town weekend with your girlfriends or even book an Airbnb close by just for the night.
