History
Birthday slumber parties are mostly held by children or teenagers. These are common in grammar school and high school girls. Boys rarely have such parties as they mostly prefer staying outside home with friends instead having an inside sleepover party. Guests such as friends of the birthday boy/girl are invited to stay at their home. Typical activities held by friends could be staying up late, talking, eating and playing until falling asleep. Other than sleepovers, these parties can also have dinner at a restaurant, skating, or other scheduled events. Sleepovers are usually held at one participant's house, with other guests sometimes bringing their bedtime things, such as pillows or sleeping bags. The best birthday slumber parties are those where you can just be yourself.

Tips and comments

A pair of friends can be made and they are given with one word each. One would make the facial mask on his/her partner’s face which would be creative and complement the word given to him. The pair with best facial mask would be awarded by some prize such as chocolates, interesting story books or may be a guide on face painting. Moreover, the place where the birthday slumber parties are being arranged should be wide and carry enough space by spreading out the furniture. It should be kept in mind that there comes no hindrance while children are enjoying their leisure time. The menu can be arranged keeping in mind the likes and dislikes of birthday child. Last but not the least, to save the memorable event, snaps should be taken by the child’s parents to show him in his/her near future. It’s really a therapeutic event to have such a night spent in laughing, sharing, talking, playing and spending time together.
