My birthday is coming up and I am going to have a sleepover. Last year I did a Harry Potter/ Girly theme. We made green goop and autographed t-shirts. This year I'm not sure which theme or craft to do. Any ideas?

Thanks

You can paint each others nails, do hair, pillow fights, truth or dare, eat, dress up, listen to music, movies with popcorn, share deepest darkest secrets, makeup without mirror, fashion show, face mask, all of the classic sleepover stuff!

I have a theme!
Clue, the game! Have everyone dress up as a character and solve a mystery life size! It would be so much fun! Use duct tape to make squares on the floor or go out side. You could make different rooms and dress up in old costumes!

I think maybe a popstar party would be fun.You do kareoke,autograph pictures for the "fans"(eachother) and you could make a red carpet in the living room and like walk across it and then watch a new movie that's on DVD and pretend it's a movie premiere.I think that would be very fun!

What about pirates? You could watch all the Pirates of the Carribean movies, make pirate hats and tell ghost stories about pirates. What do you think?

my cuzin and I did facial masks and they really work!

serves 1:

BLEMISHED SKIN MASK
1 Tomato, ripe, chopped
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 T Instant style oatmeal or old-fashioned rolled oats
Blend everything until just combined. Apply to skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay on blemished areas: cheeks, forehead, or chin. If necessary, add a bit more oatmeal to thicken the mask. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then scrub it off with a clean washcloth dipped in warm water.

Hey girls/boys. i have the perfect themes:
Hotel surviver: Have you ever seen fear factor, surviver. well it is pretty much the same thing, it they can't do it they are out/elemenated. if your friends can be soft then play easy games like, Down BY The Bank, red light green light, and other stuff. if there not soft, then do stuff that look gross, or stuff that is tough. make food in critter shapes, mix it up with nasty stuff. like peanut butter mayo cookies, pickle flavored Popsicles, do stuff like twister.

or Pick a decade: pick, either, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's.
Game show gala: come on down, and be the first young host. host a game show of your choice.
Fortune globe: either you, or a older relative becomes a fortune teller. play mine reading games, and give the magic 8 ball a work out.

fashion dinner party. set out a lovely decor., on the table, and yummy food, have everybody take a seat. but before they take a seat give them a couple of minutes to make a outfit. have one person the designer and 2 judges including you. and have everybody sit down and have them take turn on there fashion show.

HEY i am turning 12 on the 31 and what we are doing is we have these balloons and we are going to put numbers in them like umm... 1 2 3 4 5 6 ect. and you have to pop them to get the number out and the number you get is the amount of candy you get. but you have to be blind folded and 2 ppl have to be doing it at the same time. it is a lot of fun. oh and also if you have a stick or something put a marshmello on the stick and put it over the burner on the oven and you can roast a marshmello.

You could do like a foreign country-themed party. Like, if you did Italy, you could serve spagetti, and watch a movie themed in France. Oh, and ALWAYS have at least five different movies to watch. Then have the guests vote which one would go first, second, third, ect. Hope this helps!

Try this game called 'spoons'...its loads of fun....heres how to play...

you need:

1 deck of cards
spoons- the number of people playing minus 1...(eg if theres 5 people only get 4 spoons)
icky but gud stuff- melted chocolate, baby food

how to play

how ever many people are playing, get that many sets of numbers out of the deck (eg if 5 people are playing get 5 sets eg kings, queens, aces, twos and 5's)
spread the spoons out in the middle
shuffle the cards
give each player 4
when a player gets 4 of the same number- the person has to pick up a spoon. to pass the cards around- simply pass and pickup- lay down a card to the person on your right and pick up the card the person has put on your left.
once one person has picked up a spoon, everyone 1 else can pick 1 up too...even if they dont have a set of 4...the person without a spoon gets an 'S' then a 'P' if they loose again...it keeps going until someone ends up with 'SPOONS' then the rest of the group has to make them something to eat....THERE IS NO REFUSING- UNLESS IT LITRALLY POISONOUS------HAVE FUN!

why not do a movie theme sleepover? you could print invites on paper that look like film strips. serve popcorn and hotdogs and drink in polystyrene cups etc. then you can watch some dvds all night long. you could pin up some posters of all of your favourite movie stars. you could give you and your mates brand new movie star names and then practice writing autographs. you could even tape some red paper together which would make a red carpet. then you can strut your stuff down it while you pretend to be actresses going to a movie premiere.
if you dont like the idea of a movie styled sleepover you could try doing the whole mad food night thing. have a go an covering delicious fruits in chocolate, decorate plain digestive buscuits with icing and marshmallows to make mini sombrero cookies. why not try baking some cakes or using chocolate rolls and icing and a mini flake to make edible roman candles. you can have all your favourite munchies to eat and make ice cream sundaes for desert. if youre stuck for a game, fill a large bowl with cold water and tip in lots of mint polos. ask someone general knowledge questions. if they get it right they get a polo from the pack and if not they must put their head i nthe water to get a polo. you can use this with teddy bears and sugar too. for invites you can write the details out onto a large icecream shaped piece of paper. hope you like my ideas - they all worked well for me - enjoy your sleepover! love angelica xxxx

ok well i have one idea... you could make homemade bath salts. Heres the recipe:

Bath Salts:

Needed:
* Epsom Salts (no exceptions!!)
* Food Coloring
* Decorative Containers

Instructions:
Firts put some epsom salts in a bowl. Then add a LITTLE bit of food coloring to it. Get a spoon (not wooden) and stir it til everything is mixed. Then put them in your decorated containers. Or before you make the salts, decorate a baby food jar or some other type of jar to put your bath salts in.

Hope I helped and I hope you have a lot of fun with the bath salts.

P.S. Only use a little bit of bath salts at a time... THEY DRY OUT YOUR SKIN IF YOU USE TOO MUCH!!

A make-up party would be good. Get every one to bring make-up and cool clothes, and every one can help put make-up. then every gets there cloths and you can have a fashion parade.

I'm soon having springbreak sleepover with my 3 best friends. We love fashion, designing, dressing up, and so on. We're 14 and totally bored of the same old spa and hawaiian themes. So... I thought of an idea! Model sleepover! I love looking in magazines and seeing the models with crazy fun hair, outfits and makeup! So I thought I'd buy some fun colored new makeup, and hair products and we'd dress eachother up in a million of our fav clothes and dress up outfits. Then use my digital camera to capture fun poses, group as well as single!

if you are a prissy girl you can do a sleepover for a movie premiere. you have food like popcorn(of course)nachos, french fries, pizza ,soda like sprite, ice cream bars and chips like classical lays, cheetos and fritos. you can have an red carpet and some banners with your guest's name on them put them on some doors in your house and on chairs but put your name on the party door and your fanciest chair.

One time we played fear factor and we had "stunts" such as putting ur hands in a huge bucket of ice for as long as you could, bobbing for apples in vinegar, and ffc ( five funcky cups- one person is blindfolded and has to eat five disgusting "homemade" concoxions made by the other players.

I am turning 12 and I am having a sleepover party. We don't really have a theme, we kind of grew out of that. I would want to do a craft but I can't think of anything. I also need game ideas. We like scary games and fun games that make you laugh a lot. My friends and I are kind of girly but we love gymnastics!

you prolly already had your party but......you could all get some cheap solid color pillow cases, fabric paint and fabric markers and decorate your pillow cases and write messages on them and stuff. you could also go to the dollar store and buy phot frames for everyone and decorate them with shells and glitter and beads and stuff.

You could make beaded jewelry and hand them out as goodies or give them out with the invites instead.
Pop out some of your fave tunes and get some snacks! Play "American Idol", truth or dare and all those fun sleepover games. You can do those perlor bead thingies! They are pretty fun if you have patience and they are entertaining. Do facials/mani-pedis for all those girlie girls! For invites, you could buy some cheap cardstock in your friends favorite colors and wrap them around a cheap lipgloss or something with a matching ribbon! SORRY MY RESPONSE IS SO LONG!!!!!

How about making a lighted potpourri bowl? They are very easy to make and each person could take them home. The bowls were 2$1.00 at Michaels or .77 at Wal-Mart I bought the potpourri at the 99 cent store as well as the doilies for the top.Some of them were 2$1.00 & 3/$1.00 The size I used were 8 inches.The 12-20 mini light strings were at the Dollar Store. I make them for get wells, friends and just because you need a smile. The lights make the potpourri warm and releases the fragerance.Here's a picture of mine. CAUTION !! DO NOT LEAVE ON UNATTENDED! Happy Birthday Sleepover

Yopu don't say how old you are? What sorts of things do you and your friends like? You could do a jewelry party where you make jewelry from beads and findins, then model it. Or a teddy bear tea party and make dress up clothes for your teddy bears before tea.

Do a craft you're interested in. Do you like to scrapbook? Take photos using a digital, Izone or Polaroid camera. Scrapbook a page, mini-albums or make cards. Do you like to garden? Paint clay pots and plant flower seeds or herbs. Do you love beads? Make bracelets. Do you like to paint fabric? Have each girl paint a design on a white pillowcase. Perfect for a sleepover and they get to take it home.

A spa party would be fun, depending on your age. You could do manicures, pedicures, facials, hair moisturizing treatments and more! Do some internet research to find recipes for homemade treatment stuff. For example: You and your friends could make a scented paraffin dip for your hands and feet as part of your manicure/pedicure session and oatmeal/honey scrub and avacado moisturizing masks for your facial session. You could also make the Kool-Aid lip gloss that was posted on this site a while back. Making your own stuff would be fun (and thrifty)and using it would even be more fun! Good Luck!
