A sleepover is a great opportunity for spending some quality time with you girlfriends, no matter what age you are. If it has been way too long since you have seen and spent time with the girl-gang, an old fashion sleepover might be just the thing you need for bonding again.
Me and my friends used to have sleepovers all the time back in the days, but as you grow older, the sleepover become more rare and infrequent. There are a million excuses for not having them: too busy, not enough room, difficult to gather the gang, etc. However the reasons for having them are very good. First of all, you have to invest in you friendships if you are going to keep being friends! If you don’t set time off to see your friends, you will drift apart! Therefor this is a perfect bonding opportunity Second having a sleepover is a fun memory to look back on, and you can never have enough of those.
When you decide to invite your friends over, it is good to be prepared. I am talking about food, drinks, entertainment and pamper stuff.
Food: I would focus on snacks, and the way I see it you can choose to go the healthy way or the not so healthy way, but be sure to check in with you girlfriends before to see if they are aboard with whatever you decide. Some food ideas can be nachos with homemade salsa and guacamole, some sweets and maybe popcorn or chips. Some healthy ideas would be carrot and cucumber sticks and some sort of dip, a fruit salad or some mixed nuts. If you are going to make a real meal, it could be fun to make it together with you friends for a more interactive experience.
Drinks: wine, wine and more wine! That is a must! It really gets the conversation going.
Entertainment: You could just be up all night talking about the good old times, but if that’s not your thing, then a movie could be the answer, I would suggest a proper chick-flick since there are no boys aloud, or a movie that you all used to love when you were younger, in my case that would probable be Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing or Nothing Hill. Or an old movie like Gentlemen Prefer Blonds or Some Like It Hot is always a good suggestion.
If movies are not the way to go, board games are also fun, especially those with personal questions. Those games can reveal a lot about you friends and yourself, but it will also bring you closer if you all open up and start sharing things about each other.
Pamper stuff: Usually a sleepover consists of some kind of pamper or beauty element. When I was younger we used to do each others hair and makeup, but today I know better than to put on make-up before going to bed. I would recommend you focus on cleaning your skin. You could use an exfoliator and put on an hydrating mask. Manicures are also a good idea, you could get some good ideas from you girlfriends.
