REAL PARTY :: Halloween Sleepover Party

      

Halloween Sleepover Party

I love Halloween and so does my daughter as every year I would like to throw a huge party but sometimes it doesn't work out so when my daughter started asking to have a party with a few of her school friends, I said yes! She has been wanting to get her friends together for a little party for awhile now AND she has been wanting a sleepover, so what better time than to just do BOTH at once and do it on one of the best holidays of the year: Halloween! I decided to use my Glam Halloween party collection from my shop for the this party as I did not have time to re-design something new, so with a few tweaks from a 'cocktail' party to a 'sleepover', we were in business and the invites went out!

the DECOR
 

Thankfully I had a lot of the decor items already from past Halloween parties but I did collect a few things beforehand for this party that came in handy. Plus I used some of the printables for the signs and food table to add a little more whimsical to this party since it was for tween girls! ;)

I used lots of color but kept the main black, white and orange Halloween color palette the more dominant across the party. I love how fun it turned out for the girls plus my daughter and her friends are still talking about it! YAY! Cool mom points are ALWAYS a bonus! ;)

the FOOD
 

I tried to keep the menu simple and fun by ordering pizza for dinner before they did a few crafting items, played games and hung out. I made spider cupcakes, monster cupcakes, some Halloween bark, Reese's bats and ghost marshmallow pops for them to snack on before they enjoyed their popcorn watching movies later on. Oh and I also whipped up some of my 'rat poison' drink and served it to them via bar cart while they were playing a few games! ;)

the MORNING AFTER
 

I tried to keep a good healthy balance come morning for breakfast serving up festive donuts, pumpkin tangerines and candy corn cups (which are just layered pineapple chunks, mandarins & topped with whip cream). The girls loved the fruit cups (candy corn cups) and they were the first thing gone!

The girls had a blast, made lots of great memories that they will hopefully remember forever and they can't wait until we can do it again. That to me is a successful party and makes all of the work that went into it worthwhile. This momma has done her job! ;)

Hope you enjoyed the ideas and taking a peek into the party fun! Let me know below what your favorite idea was that you saw . . .
