We celebrated Molly’s 7th birthday in August with a slumber party that she was sooo excited to have. I was a little worried that 7 year olds were a little young for a sleepover party, but it turned out to be such a fun party!! We did it on a Friday night, so I picked up several of the girls right after school and they came over to enjoy swimming and playing together. I had my Mom with me to help watch all the girls after school and we fit in a little outside time and then we had some bad weather approaching, so we brought things inside.
While the girls were outside; I had my friend, hairstylist, and event extraordinaire, All Things Nikki, come over and decorate our playroom with all of the girls teepees. She did such a great job and it transformed our playroom into the most adorable Palm Royale scene. She brought everything for each of their bed set ups and the adorable balloons that went on each tee pee. I did my own balloon garland this year that went over the TV with a kit that I bought off Amazon.
We had some cute robes for the girls to wear and I also found the most adorable pajamas on Amazon that we gifted to each of the girls. These were a hit and a great price point. Both my girls have a couple of these silky pj sets. Each of the girls had gift boxes on their beds that included some eye masks and headbands and then the pajamas in them.
The room turned out better than I imagined. The girls were so excited for their own space for the night.
I was a little worried when the slumber party approached that I didn’t have enough things scheduled or planned out to keep all the girls entertained for the entire time, but thankfully it all worked out!
My ten year old daughter and her friend were a HUGE help to keeping the girls active and playing. We also ordered pizza and Chick-Fil-A to sit down and enjoy dinner as well as the best surprise from Whim Cotton Candy. We had individual cotton candy bags for the girls as well as the coolest cotton candy cake to enjoy.
For all the decor I put out in the dining room, I pulled it from our party supply room to use up. Most of these paper goods were items that I had bought last year for Mollys birthday and we didn’t end up using or needing. So I was determined to use them up this year :). They worked out perfectly.
The girls spent time swimming in the pool, playing limbo, jumping off the dock and enjoying a fruit platter before it started thundering and lightening.
They came inside and were so cute snuggled on the couch watching a movie for a little bit before the food arrived.
After dinner, the girls enjoyed karaoke upstairs, singing, dancing and a little spa time.
They made up dances to show me, played games, had popcorn and candy watching Zombies 4 and then it was time to simmer down and get ready for bedtime.
Believe it or not, they actually slept and had lights out about 10:15pm and I was really impressed!!!
About 8am the next morning, they were ready to play again. They ran around outside, jumped in the pool in their pajamas and hung out on the sing until it was time to come in for breakfast.
Matt is the breakfast man in our house and he whipped up some delicious pancakes for the girls while I got all the fun toppings ready for the girls to enjoy.
They loved their bacon and pancakes and were cute going through the pancake bar. Pick up time was around 10:30am, so after breakfast, it was time to gather their belongings and get ready for their parents to pick them up.
I absolutely loved this idea for a party. It was so cute to watch the girls interact all night long. While I was worried about this age being a little too young for a slumber party, it really turned out to be a perfect age. All the girls were so sweet and kind and there was absolutely zero drama. There is a lot to be said for that :). The other thing, they are still young enough to be tired by nighttime and keep a respectable bed time!
I loved the theme for this party and how everything turned out. Nikki is so talented and would highly recommend her to do your next party. There are so many cute themes out there for all different times of the year. I would love to hear your favorite theme idea!!
