How to Host a Slumber Party for Adults in 4 Steps
Slumber parties aren’t just for kids! Hosting a slumber party for adults is a perfect way to relax, unwind, and reconnect with friends.
Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, a reunion, or just a night in with your closest pals, an adult slumber party can be a fun and memorable experience.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to host a slumber party for adults, ensuring everyone has a fantastic time.
1. Setting the Mood: Cozy and Inviting
Invitations and Themes
Start by sending out invites that set the tone for your slumber party. Choose a theme to make your party unique, like a spa night, movie marathon, or even a throwback to childhood sleepovers.
Maybe this is for a bachelorette? In that case you want a lot more whites. Maybe it’s a relaxation, spa themed event. In which case get those spa kits sorted.
Digital invitations with fun designs are quick and easy, but if you want to go the extra mile, handwrite your invitations on cute stationery for a nostalgic touch.
Creating a Comfortable Space
Transform your living room or bedroom into a cozy haven. Lay out plenty of blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags for your guests to lounge on.
Dim the lights and add string lights or candles for a warm, inviting atmosphere. Make sure there’s enough space for everyone to stretch out and relax.
Here’s a few must haves for any adult sleepover.
Matching Pyjamas
Matching Pyjamas work a treat, especially for all those slumber party pics you’ll no-doubly be taking. I recommend not breaking the bank and going with something everyone can afford. The above satin pyjamas are A) cheap and B) have about 50 thousand colors to choose from.
I recommend everyone picking a different color or different shade. Or if it is for a hen do, get the bride in white and everyone else in black.
Heated Eye Mask
Even if this isn’t a spa themed sleepover, I still recommend a bit of spa treatment here and there. If you’re to only do one, I recommend these heated eye masks for ultimate relaxation.
What Do You Meme
Lastly I recommend something to do (other then eating pizza and drinking wine) for that, I recommend a classic - What do you meme.
2. Planning the Perfect Slumber Party Activities
Movie or TV Show Marathon
Pick a series of movies or TV shows that everyone loves or that fit your theme. Whether it’s a night of classic rom-coms, horror flicks, or binge-watching a popular series, make sure to have plenty of options available. Don’t forget the popcorn and snacks!
DIY Spa Night
Pamper your guests with a DIY spa experience. Set up stations with face masks, nail polish, and massage oils. You can even provide personalized robes and slippers for each guest. Light some scented candles and play relaxing music to create a soothing atmosphere.
Fun Games and Activities
Bring back the fun of childhood sleepovers with games like truth or dare, charades, or a scavenger hunt. If your guests are into board games, set up a few options that everyone can enjoy. For a creative twist, try a DIY craft project or a group painting activity.

3. Preparing Delicious Snacks and Drinks
Midnight Snacks
No slumber party for adults is complete without a spread of delicious snacks. Think of finger foods that are easy to eat, like sliders, mini pizzas, and a variety of dips. Don’t forget the sweet treats! Cookies, brownies, and candy are always a hit.
I highly recommend it to be a takeaway night but if you must cook, go with one of these.
Signature Cocktails and Mocktails
For me, slumber parties have to be red wine. But that’s totally personal preference.
Whip up a few signature cocktails or mocktails that fit your slumber party theme. Whether it’s a classic mojito, a fruity sangria, or a non-alcoholic sparkling drink, make sure there’s something for everyone.
Set up a DIY drink station with mixers, fresh fruit, and garnishes so guests can create their own concoctions.
4. Wrapping Up the Night
Creating a Relaxing Sleep Environment
As the night winds down, make sure your guests have everything they need to sleep comfortably. Provide extra blankets, pillows, and even eye masks or earplugs for a peaceful night’s rest.
You can also play some calming music or a white noise machine to help everyone drift off to sleep.
Morning After Brunch
After a night of fun, treat your guests to a delicious breakfast or brunch. Set up a coffee and tea station with a selection of pastries, fruit, and yogurt. Check out this guide for some fantastic ideas.
If you want to go all out, prepare a hot breakfast with options like pancakes, eggs, and bacon. A mimosa bar with fresh juices and champagne is a great way to start the day.

Hosting a slumber party for adults is all about having fun, relaxing, and enjoying quality time with friends. With the right mix of activities, snacks, and a cozy atmosphere, your party is sure to be a memorable night for everyone involved.
