"Spajama" birthday party

For Adriana's 8th birthday party we did a "spajama" party. Adriana picked pink and orange as her colors. Everyone came in their pj's, but did not spend the night. And they got pedicures. They also decorated pillowcases (plain white that I put pink ribbon around to dress up a bit) with fabric markers.


The invitations looked like this:
The table was made to look like a bed.


We served pizza rolls (pillow shaped), sushi (rice krispy treats wrapped in fruit-by-the-foot with a jelly belly bean stuck in the middle), potato chips, lollipops and cake.
The cake idea came from Family Fun... I had so much fun decorating it.


Orange balloons scattered the floor. Hot pink streamers, lights and lanterns gave the room a lounge-y feel. I got a few magazines (Highlights, National Geographic for kids) for the girls to thumb through while they got their toe nails painted, and they watched "Charlotte's Web".


This was probably my favorite birthday party yet. A lot of prep work, but the party itself was so enjoyable... not stressful at all.

I would have loved to go to a birthday party like that when I was that age! I really like like the ideas of slumber parties that aren't actually sleepovers. It sounds like it would be a lot less stressful for the parents AND the kids!

How adorable! I like how you kept the food simple, yet fun. I'm sure the girls had an amazing time. The idea that it was a pajama party without a sleepover is just perfect.
