Send out invitations at least a week before the pajama party. Be clear and precise with the time frames and theme of your pajama party. You don’t want guests to show in the wrong kind of pajamas! List the types of activities and what people need to bring to make the most of your pajama party.
Once you know what type of pajama party you will be having you should start with
a theme. There are many ideas for a pajama party. Keep in mind that a more private setting would probably be best. Set the night up for games and movies. Get out the gossip files and prepare for a night of gab. Put on some music and have a dance party. Just about anything is possible, even in your pajamas. Whatever your theme, lay out plenty of pillows and mats on the floor. Think fluffy. Guest should be able to lounge around and feel relaxed. Have simple snacks and plenty of refreshments. Have snacks on low tables so they feel free to eat while lying on the floor. Everything should be ready when guests arrive. That way everyone can fall right into the evening.
Perhaps have an old movie night or a cartoon night for the kids. Adults could play games like spin the bottle or truth or dare. Kids can play for hours with a deck of cards and a board game. Since everyone is lying around relaxing, perhaps the night calls for gossip. Pile around each other and let the ideas fly or have some preplanned to keep people talking. Another idea is to turn on some music. A relaxed atmosphere to dance can be rewarding and be a party in itself. Play some quiet music and encourage people to slow dance. Let the night end with plenty of snuggling and awaken to a nice breakfast.
Whatever your intentions for a pajama party, a little planning can mean the difference between a great party and just some people sleeping on the floor.
