How To Host A Great Party/Sleepover :)

Ten easy steps to host a really fun party/sleepover :)


1. Decide who you will bring.


Sleepover: Make sure you don't invite your entire school if it's just a sleepover. The more the merrier isn't really the case here. Limit yourself down to maybe 10 or less friends. Also, if a group of people aren't each others biggest fans at the time, maybe it's best not to bring both of them, because if they begin to argue then they'll just ruin it for everyone else. An alternative is to ask them to be civil at your sleepover.


Party: Every awesome party usually has a ton of guests! To decide who you'll invite, you need to decide which kind of party you'll have. Will you have games and a snack break? Or maybe just a dance the whole time and get food when your hungry? If you want to be dancing the whole time then it's best to mix about your party guests, and invite a mixture of everyone! :)


***NOTE*** If maybe you don't have a lot of friends to invite, then family parties are just as awesome!! I had one and it was great fun!! All my family were over at our place in the garden. We had a barbecue and all the kids played on the lawn and the adults sat on the garden chairs and had a laugh :)


2. Make Times.


Sleepover: This step is really about making sure your guests parents know when to drop them off and pick them up. Good times for a sleepover could be 5.00pm- 11.00am if you plan for your friends to be there for tea, but if not, then maybe start around 6.00pm or 6.30pm. Don't leave it too late because if you want to watch a movie then you want to start watching that at about 7-8pm, depending on what time your parents want you to start settling down.


Party: You should probably make sure you're party only lasts about 3hours at the most.


3. Make Space.


Sleepover: For a sleepover you'll need to make space for airbeds or sleeping bags in the room you will have your friends and yourself staying in. Be careful picking a room because you want lots of extra space in the room in case you do games or maybe just to space to set your popcorn and DVD stack down! 


Party: Your gonna need a ton of space! You could book a room in your local Community Centre or just clear a room in your house! :D Point is, you will need room for dancing, snacks, sitting down and chatting and maybe even an open door in case your guests get hot :)


4. Entertainment.



Sleepover: A great way to get a sleepover party going is if you have a DVD/video around :) I recommend comedys A LOT!!! Comedys always get everyone in that giggly mood and once the DVD is over everybody will still be laughing and carrying on :)


Party: A dancing/disco party is pretty simple to be honest. Everybody will mainly be doing their own thing, so wire up your loudest boombox/ CD player, throw in some recent NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC!'s and there you go! :) 'Dance Party's' are also pretty sweet too.


5. Snacks


These instructions apply for a party or a sleepover!
Make sure you're well supplied with yummy nibblies!! You especially want popcorn for a sleepover! The best kind of drinks would be coke :)


6. Permission!!!


Sleepover: Before we go any further with this, you NEED to make sure your parents are happy with your plans. If they want you to be asleep for 11pm then try and do it, or be quiet. 


Party: Don't go too overboard, it could cost a lot! The best kind of parties are simple, and relaxed :)


7. Check with your guests


You'll need to ask your guests about allergies, what ratings for DVDs they can watch and, of course, what music they like best!


8. Theme


Obviously this is optional, but you may like your party to have a theme. If it's a Halloween party, then you might like to buy just some cheap plastic spiders, a few banners and simple, yet yummy, party food :)


You might like a sort of themed sleepover, like an 80's sleepover or a Pink Party!


9. YOU!


Enough about the guests for now... Lets focus on you! To host an amazing party/sleepover you need to look and feel fabulous! If you don't feel up for it at the time, then maybe make it for next weekend, because the host is one of the main features of the party! 


Make sure you're look razzle dazzles people too! Try wearing something that you wouldn't normally wear- you never know, it might make you look amazing!


Also, set the party the way you wold like it too! 


10. Have fun!


There's nothing worse than a birthday party where everyone is bored and fed up! Liven the place up! Laugh!  And have the best party EVER!! :)
