I might not know who invented sleepovers, but I do know this: some of my best memories come from childhood sleepovers.
Let’s be real, though. Early-2000s sleepovers were more “fun” than “luxurious.” I mean, kids today get to enjoy in-door drive-ins and sleep in fully furnished tents. Not that I have anything against Gen Z or Gen Alpha going all out for sleepovers—it’s just that we had fewer “amenities” and still managed to have endless fun. And honestly, that’s why I created this quiz. Let me explain.
If you’re wondering what kind of sleepover you should throw, I’ve got you covered! My Sleepover Idea Quiz gives you creative, fun, and not-so-expensive ideas for hosting the best slumber party of your life.
First, I’ll figure out the type of sleepover that matches your mood and vibe. Then, I’ll suggest five to ten ideas based on that theme. For example, if the spooky season is around the corner and you’re in the mood for some jump scares, my quiz will tell you that a fear-themed sleepover is a must and give you ten ideas on how to make it happen.
I’ve tried to make the ideas in the quiz as broad as possible, so you’re sure to find at least a couple of fun options for your next slumber party.
P.S. While working on this quiz, I went down a rabbit hole of sleepover history and found some pretty creepy stuff. If you want to get nerdy about it, check out Carlyn Beccia’s post on Bust called “The Secret History of Slumber Parties: How ‘Bloody Mary’ and Menstruation Go Hand-In-Hand.”
Anyway, let’s make sure your next slumber party has the perfect theme!
