The Best Birthday Sleepover Ideas
1. Self-Care Supplies/Spa Night
Shop This Idea:
It wouldn't be a classic sleepover without some self-care supplies and a DIY spa night! Plus, these are super cute as favors. I feel like it would be so fun to bedazzle the sleep masks if you're looking to add another activity to the night!
2. Bed Tent Setup
Recreate This Set Up:
As an adult, I am living for this set up. It feels a little extra but is a great way to get a good night's rest post partying. And the trays could definitely come in handy throughout the evening or even for having breakfast in bed the next morning!
3. Snack Bar
Copy This Idea:
Obviously all good sleepovers have yummy snacks on deck! These little popcorn boxes are adorable. These linked snack boxes are a great way for each guest to be able to make their own "snackle" box for the evening.

4. Sip and Slumber Theme
Try This Theme:
If you're looking for a fun theme for your birthday sleepover, "Sip and Slumber" is the way to go. All of the traditional slumber party vibes + drinks = a birthday you're sure to remember.
To lean into the sip part of the theme, have themed drinks throughout the night or have guests bring their favorite drink to share! You could also do a cute thing where each guest brings things to make a slumber party themed cocktail.
5. Pancake Bar
DIY Your Own Pancake Bar:
Who doesn't love a pancake bar?! This is a perfect idea for the next morning because it's low maintenance but still yummy and fun! Take it up a notch by having flavored syrups amongst the other toppings.
6. Movie On The Big Screen
Recreate This Vibe:
This has such a cozy vibe and I'm obsessed with it! Having a projector makes movie nights with a larger group all the better.
To add to the cozy vibe and ambience, you can also have some fun lights throughout the room. A light projector like the one linked is great because you can change the color of the lights to match the movie.

7. Morning Coffee Bar
Copy This Idea:
As a coffee lover, coffee the next morning is a NEED! This is such a cute way to do that without having to leave the comfort of your pjs. I think it would be so sweet to make a themed coffee menu based on the birthday girl's tastes and vibes.
8. DIY Tote Bags
Shop This Idea:
There's nothing I love more than a good arts and crafts night! Each guest can paint their own tote bag to take home with them.
Before everyone begins painting, have each person submit a song that reminds them of the birthday queen and then listen to the playlist while everyone is decorating their bags. It's a great personal touch that will also leave the birthday girly with a playlist to come back to for years to come!
9. Tattoo Bar
Try This Idea:
A tattoo bar is so nostalgic of our younger years! Doing regular temporary ones or glitter ones for some extra sparkle adds a little ~pizzazz~ to the evening.

10. Nostalgia At Night Theme
Copy This Theme:
If you're going for a nostalgic birthday vibe, a "Nostalgia at Night" theme would be perfect!
Obvi nostalgia looks different for everyone, so have the birthday girl pick elements that remind her of her childhood. To get the ideas flowing, check out Instagram and Pinterest to find those things you completely forgot about but that *made* your childhood!
11. Cupcake Decorating
Recreate This Activity:
This idea is so sweet--literally! Decorating your own cupcake is the perfect way to have that birthday sweet treat with a little bit of an activity and personalization. I love how many frosting colors and sprinkle options they have.
12. Burn Book
Shop This Idea:
This is another super cute way to remember the night if you're going for nostalgia! Guests can snap a Polaroid picture with the birthday girl and then write a (nice!) little message in the Burn Book.
Honestly, having a Polaroid or a disposable camera to take pictures throughout the night is the way to go.

13. Dirty Soda Bar
Copy This Dirty Soda Bar:
It's not really a party without a dirty soda bar! Just like with the coffee bar, there can be a menu inspired by the birthday girly.
Pro tip: adding edible glitter and these heart shaped straws to the drinks is the perfect way to elevate your soda bar.
14. Who Knows the Birthday Girl Best Questionnaire
Shop This Birthday Questionnaire Idea:
Looking to add a little competition to the evening? This is a fun way to do that! I love the linked questionnaires since it also has space to add guests' favorite memories of the birthday girl.
Another similar option is a "Find Someone Who..." bingo card, especially if you are merging friend groups. I recently went to a friend's birthday party where we did that and it was a great icebreaker!
15. Paper Crowns
Shop These Supplies:
Okay, these paper crowns are absolutely darling. I love how easily personalizable these are! This is a really great idea if you are looking to lean more into the nostalgia and whimsy.
