Top 10 Sleepover Party Themes

If your little girl loves to play dress-up, a Barbie Doll theme is a can't-miss idea. Manicures, pedicures, and pink decorations make this a dream party for your little princess. Once everyone's nails are painted, spend some time playing with the Barbie doll "guests" while snacking on heart-shaped sandwiches of your choice. Party favors can include Barbie accessories and little bottles of nail polish.

No sleepover is complete without a movie, so why not make the whole night theater-themed? Fill your living room with pillows, blankets, and anything else your guests need to get comfortable. Have them change into pajamas as soon as they get there, set up sleeping bags on the living room floor, and then settle in for a night full of flicks and fun.

Food ideas include pizza, popcorn, and boxes of candy you might find at the movie theater. Decorations can be minimal, but can include streamers made to look like rolls of film and bunches of yellow balloons for popcorn. For party favors, supply each guest with a bag filled with a package of microwave popcorn, candy, and a disposable camera for taking pictures.

If your child is older and wants to do something a little different, a highlighter party is a great idea. You'll need a black light, and highlighters and T-shirts for each kid. Let the kids go crazy coloring on each other's shirts, and then turn on the black light for some glow in the dark fun! When it's time for bed, the black light can double as a nightlight for anyone who wakes up during the night.

Food and decoration ideas can include cupcakes with bright, neon-colored frosting and neon-colored streamers and balloons. Glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark stickers make great party favors.
