For my 12th birthday bash, I had a Movie Madness Sleep Over!
This isn't your ordinary sleepover, it's a sleepover for the stars! INVITATIONS: Trace on cardboard the shape of an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, etc. and write the information on the back. This is what I put: You are cordially invited to YOUR NAME HERE's Awards! Where: The Red Carpet (YOUR HOUSE HERE) When: YOUR DATE AND TIME HERE Please Bring: A sleeping bag, pillow, or anything else you want to bring (or whatever else you want to put as a neccessity on your invitation) R.S.V.P.:DATE HERE AND PHONE# HERE Hope to see you there! Food: I had the regular pizza and the regular cake. I ordered my cake from a baker but you can bake your own for a lot cheaper. On my cake, I had yellow frosting spotlights, to make it a movie themed cake. I also had a Snack Bar, which you will read about soon. DECORATIONS: I had the sleepover in my basement and in my basement, there are a row of poles seperating it in half. I purchased cheap red fabric and hung the fabric up, creating two openings. Over each opening, I put a sign that said either THEATER 1 or THEATER 2. When you got "in" the theater, I had the signs read EXIT. I also put up black, silver, yellow/gold, and red balloons. I had a long table covered in the same red fabric. I put a sign that said SNACK BAR and I put out a long array of snacks, popcorn, chips + dips, cookies, and sandwiches in the shapes of stars. I also found a way to make tuxedos out of napkins to hold the forks, knives, and spoons, all plastic of course. THE PARTY: I had my guests arrive at about 5:30. They all played a game called "Tangled Up". I had a different color yarn ball for each guest. On one end of the yarn ball, I attached a piece of paper with each guest's name on it. I wound the yarn around furniture and tangled it up with the other yarn. My friends had to untangle their yarn to get to their goody bags. The first person to untangle their yarn ball got a pack of starry stickers, but you can make it anything like lip gloss, a bracelet, etc. We then set up our sleeping bags in the "theater" and we went to eat pizza and cake. We then played lots of fun games like Flashlight Hide-N-Seek, a Fashion Show, Sooo Embarrassing (where people tell their most embarrassing moment and people rate it from 1-10), and many others. Then, we opened presents. We settled into our sleeping bags and watched Mean Girls and The Princess Diaries. MORNING: In the morning, we had doughnuts and waffles. Before the girls left, I had an awards ceremoney. Each girl got an award, whether it was "Most Likely To Model PJs" or "Giggliest Giggler". Everyone went home with an award. GOODY BAGS: For the goodbags, we had small things, like small notebooks, candy, and hand lotion. We also had gift certificates to the movies, which really fit the theme. I hope you have a fun Movie Madness Birthday, just like I did! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
