Invitations

One of these invitations is sure to be your ticket for fun! Use these slumber party ideas to get started.

• The Big Ticket – Turn a piece of cardstock into a ticket to the premier event! Use your favorite color for a base and trim it into a rectangular ticket shape with small half circles cut from the sides to mimic the real thing. On the front, use a bold marker or precut letters to write "ADMIT ONE." On the reverse, write "You're invited to the screening of "A Slumber Party" starring (host). Be there at (location) on (date) at (time) – don't miss a moment!"
• Purchase bags of microwave popcorn to use as part of your invitation. Attach a tag that reads "You're invited to a slumber party! Bring your pillow to (host)'s house on (date) at (time) for an all night movie premier!" Slip the note and the popcorn into a small gift bag and hand deliver, or package them up to mail.
• Use scraps of cloth in a fun print from a fabric store to craft small sleeping bags. Cut fabric into rectangular shapes (approximately 4" x 6") and glue three edges together, leaving one end open. Fold down the top layer at an angle (as you would turn down a bed) and glue the flap down, leaving an opening. Cut a piece of paper that will fit in the opening, then write all of your party information on the slip and tuck it into the sleeping bag. Put them into envelopes and these clever invitations are ready to go in the mailbox!

Decorations

Welcome your guests with a large banner or marquee that shows off your big night.  "(Name)'s Movie Night" in big letters, followed by "Premiering (Movie)" for your main attraction in smaller letters and "Also showing:  (movies)" in even smaller print is a delightful way to set the mood for the night.  Display it near this working movie clapboard and you'll be ready for "Action!" in no time!

You can't have a party without balloons, and it's hard to beat an incredible 38" tall Popcorn Box jumbo mylar balloon.  Float a few of these over your party and you'll be able to smell the popcorn long before it hits the hot oil!

Your collection of slumber party ideas just has to include popcorn, and this popcorn tub is just the way to serve it!  The jumbo size will hold plenty of kernels so refills will be at a minimum.  Place them around the movie viewing area and watch the popcorn disappear!

Set up your food tables with your choice of movie party supplies.  The theme features a rowdy film reel with the sights and sounds of the movies in a lively arrangement.  Use the tablecloth on the food table, and then consider buying an extra if guests will be spread out on the floor with their food to watch the show.  It will save quite a bit of carpet cleanup later!  The tableware includes theme plates, cups, and napkins along with coordinated cutlery, streamers, and balloons.

Add a darkened room for an authentic cinema experience, and your adult slumber party is bound to become and overnight success!

Costumes

After you've donned your pajamas for the night, it's the perfect time for ladies to help each other with nails, hair, and makeup! Provide a section of new facial creams, hair accessories, skin treatments, and fingernail polish. Include a few boxes of home hair coloring or highlight kits for the more daring guests. What an exciting way to spend a night with the girls!

Guys aren't likely to work on their hair or makeup, but a few temporary tattoos, food, a drink, and an action flick will more than satisfy most.

Slumber Party Ideas for Food

Savor your cinema experience with these slumber party ideas straight from the concession counter!

The beverage menu:

• Soft drinks – These are a movie theater favorite, so make them a staple of your slumber party! For cinema appeal, pour drinks into cups with ice. Add lids and straws to mimic the real thing!
• Lemonade – Another common concession favorite, lemonade is a cool, refreshing way to wash down that popcorn!
• Wine – Since no one is driving home, it's a wonderful time to enjoy a glass of wine with your friends as you take in a favorite movie.

The food menu:

• Popcorn – You can't have movie night without popcorn! Whether you pop it yourself or buy it already popped, you can make it feel like it came straight from the concession stand by pouring melted butter on this favorite treat. (Tip: Use real butter, not margarine. The water content of tub margarine will saturate the popped corn and it will shrivel up. Melted stick butter, on the other hand, coats popcorn without watering it down, so you'll have light, fluffy kernels to pop into your mouth.)
• Soft pretzels – Most grocery stores carry a frozen version of these concession counter mainstays. Simply pop one in the microwave for a few seconds and you've got a hot, soft pretzel to enjoy!
• Nachos – Create a nacho bar for guests to pile on the toppings. Warm chips in the oven if you'd like, then provide seasoned meat, cheese, salsa, jalapenos, black olives, sour cream, and guacamole for guests to dress their chips.
• Pizza – Who doesn't love pizza? Lay out a selection of sauce, cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, onions, black olives, and any other topping favorites to make your own, or sit back and enjoy the movie while you wait for a pizza delivery.

Sweets and treats:

• Candy – The concession stand has a great display of candy bars, and it's easy to bring in a few of your favorites to your assortment of slumber party ideas. Many convenience stores carry the large boxes and bars that you'll find at the local theater, or simply buy them from the grocery store.
• Ice Cream – These are must-be slumber party ideas. Stick with the self-service menu by offering ice cream and a selection of toppings. Vanilla ice cream is the perfect companion to hot fudge, caramel, or strawberry toppings. Add wet nuts, crushed candies, sprinkles, nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry for the top for a cinematic thrill.
• Cake – Cake is the all-time party blockbuster, and it's easy to make a movie-themed version! Pour on the popcorn by decorating the top of a sheet cake with the red and white stripes of a traditional popcorn box. Next, use yellow icing and a tip with a wide round opening to pipe on big round kernels of popcorn and you'll barely recognize this sweet treat!
