One of my slumber party secrets is that I have always wanted to go to Hollywood to see the sights and pretend for just one day that I am a Hollywood Diva. I want the lights, the cameras and of course the action. If you have your own wanna-be superstar with an upcoming birthday, why not throw a Hollywood Star Slumber Party Theme?

Let’s start with the Invitations. You could have the invitation as a cut out Oscar award or an old fashion movie camera. A fun invitation will set the tone for the Hollywood Slumber Party. Be sure to request in the invite that the Party Girls come dressed in their Hollywood party best. Think Gorgeous! Think Fabulous!

With a fun night planned, the RSVP’s are sure to be positive and you need to prepare yourself of a houseful of Hollywood Divas. Think of your Slumber Party as the Premier to the next year of life. How exciting!

What would a Hollywood premier be without a red carpet? It just wouldn’t be right! With this in mind ,you will want to line your walkway or your entrance with red felt for a dramatic red carpet Hollywood effect. If you really want to go all out, have family and friends stand outside with cameras to take pictures as each girl walks up to your home. You could even have a big sister or an adult girl-friend with a microphone stopping the girls as they walk up to the house and asking for interviews. They could for instance, ask the girls: What they are most looking forward to at the slumber party? What they love most about the Birthday Girl? If they were allowed to bring a date, who would they have brought? For the full affect, have someone film the interviews. You can always turn the footage into great mementos to give the party girls on CD.

You will of course want to give your Birthday Girl a special gift. How about a Special Diva Directors Chair?  Go all out and have her name painted in a fun color or glitter. If you are smart, you will get a color scheme to match her bedroom so she can enjoy the gift not only at the Hollywood Slumber party but also for years to come.

You just can’t have a slumber party without an uber cool craft. Stick with the theme of Hollywood and decorate cardboard clapboards.  (You know, black and white stripes…someone shouting, “Scene 1; Take 3).

Another fun Hollywood craft that is always a hit is a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Tile. Simply cut out a square cardboard tile and a star.  Make sure the star is big enough for each girl to write in her name and decorate. Glue the star cut out to the square tile and let the girls finish it off decorating with glitter paint and stick-on rhinestones. When the girls are done punch holes into the corners of each square tile and loop ribbon up through the back side of one punched hole and push through the other punched hole. Tie together in a cute bow for a great wall hanging.  The girls are sure to love their new bedroom décor!

Every Slumber Party Girl will be looking forward to her Slumber Party Favor Hollywood Awards bag to include all things Hollywood girls love. Think fun sunglasses, scarves, make-up, nail polish, mani /pedi kits. Usually three items per bag are more than enough to make the party girls squeal.

All of the fun and squealing is sure to work up appetites. Think simple and fun with a Hollywood menu of Award Winner Mocktails and Pizza Masterpieces.

For the Mocktails simply pull out your champagne glasses and edge each rim with pink colored sugar. Pour in equal amounts of cranberry juice and ginger ale for a bubbly, colorful concoction.

As for the Pizza masterpieces, encourage the girls to channel their inner Wolfgang and create their own pizza. Simply put out individual pizza dough on paper plates along with an assortment of pizza toppings and let the girls go to work. Bake and eat, but don’t forget to take pictures of all the fun!

For desert, you just have to go with cupcakes. Birthday cake is so last year! Ice them yourself with fun Hollywood star decorations or simply bake and let the girls ice and decorate their own.

The girls will of course entertain themselves but if you really want to set the night apart and have the Slumber Party of the year, you will consider a few of our Slumber Party Game Ideas.

This one is one of my favorites and my party girls always ask to play it a second time.

Make two piles of the same type of clothing such as skirts, socks, jackets, earmuffs, hats, etc.  Divide the Slumber Party girls into two teams. Have the teams’ line up single file on the opposite side of the room than the pile of clothes. The first girl in line is to run to the pile of clothes and put on all of the extra clothes and then take them off again and run back to the team line for the second person in line to do the same making a relay. The team that dresses and undresses the fastest wins the game.

The girls really giggle and laugh when an extra large bra or teeny tiny bikini is included in the pile.

Be sure to have the latest Rock Star Teen Scene Music DVD playing to keep the tempo hoppin’.

After the Slumber Party Girls are finished playing the Dress up relay, have the girls rummage through the clothes and come up with different characters and create their very own Hollywood movie skit. You as the hostess can have the video camera and can film the award winning movie.

After the excitement, snacks, games and so much laughter, the girls are sure to be worn out.

It is now time to give your self a big High Five for throwing the most Awesome Hollywood Star Slumber party Ever!

You Go Girl!

The last slumber party I hosted, the group was rather large.  Though it doesn’t happen often, I really stressed about the Slumber Party games.  For instance, how many to have planned and more importantly which ones to play.  Everything turned out wonderful and all the games were a huge success.  What really surprised me was that the DING….Time’s Up – Slumber Party Game was the only game that the girls woke up the next morning asking to play.  Who would’ve thought?

 The game is really very simpl. Grab your egg timer and have all of the girls leave the room.  Now while the girls are not looking, set the egg timer for a certain time and hide it. If you think it’s a fairly easy to find hiding place, set the timer for just a few minutes.  If you think the hiding place might be a bit more difficult to find, give the girls a few more minutes on the timer. Now have the girls come back into the room and try to find the timer. After round one of the game, the girls can alternate who gets to hide the timer. 

 Note:  Be sure that you child proofed any drawers, cabinets and baskets. Also make sure that any dust bunnies that might be lurking in the shadows are swept up. You will be amazed at the crazy places these girls will want to look for the egg timer. 

Has your little diva and her friends taken a sudden interest in Truth or Dare?  It’s really no wonder with a renewed interest in slumber parties sweeping the nation. This oldie but goody just keeps getting better and better.

At your next slumber party why not try a new spin on an old classic and play Truth Serum. Ever heard of it? Not many people have. It’s new and so much fun!

First, hit the local superstore or dollar store and round up 10 bottles of the most outrageous colors of nail polish. Remember, you don’t have to buy full size bottles as these bottles will surely only be used for Halloween Costumes and the Truth Serum Game. These bottles can no longer be named “nail polish” but instead must be called  “Truth Serum”.

Get creative and rename each color with a gross name such as barfola brown, gag me gold, mosh pit black and booger green. Before the game begins make sure and repeat the crazy color names to all the girls.

Have all of the slumber party girls sit in a circle and let the birthday girl do the honors and spin the bottle of “Truth Serum“. Whoever the lid points to, the Birthday girl gets to ask a question. The girl may answer the question or choose the “Truth Serum“.  If she chooses the “Truth Serum” she has to paint one fingernail in the gross color. 

After answering the question or painting her fingernail, it is now her turn to choose a gross color of “Truth Serum” and spin the bottle and ask the next question. By the end of the night the girls will have dished and spilled secrets and know who is crushin’ on whom, who had the most embarrassing moment and who ate that totally gross thing last year because she was dared to. 

You will be awakened the next morning by the giggles from all of the girls who didn’t dish up the Truth laughing at their new style of icky ugly manicure.
