How do I Make a Sleepover Birthday Party Invitation?

Accent your sleepover party invitation with a colorful ribbon.

A sleepover party calls for an out-of-the-ordinary invitation. This party spans across two days, so you will need to list both dates as well as the start and end times for the event. In addition, the invitation should tell guests what they need to bring. Make your sleepover party invitation match the theme of your party so that guests know what to expect. You can easily create this invitation on your computer using word-processing software.

Things You'll Need

• Printer
• Card stock
• Glue
• Glitter, ribbon or sequins
• Hole punch

Instructions

1. Create a new document in your word-processing software. Set the page size to the size you want for your sleepover party invitation. Common invitation sizes include 4 inches by 6 inches and 5 inches by 7 inches. You can set these as either portrait or landscape layout.

2. Write the opening line for your sleepover party invitation. This text should include the gust of honor's name and the type of sleepover you're throwing. For example, a sleepover birthday party invitation can say, "Join us for Whitney's 14th Birthday Sleepover Party!"

3. List the location of the event, which includes the location name and street address--for example, "Whitney Johnson's House, 13 Oak Street."

4. Provide the start and end date and times for the sleepover party--for example, "Friday, August 19 at 7 p.m. to Saturday, August 20 at 10 a.m."

5. Include any important details about the event. If you need guests to bring a sleeping bag and pillow, write that information on the invitation. If the sleepover includes a pool party, remind them to bring a bathing suit and towel. Make a list of everything you think guests might need at your party, and include information on the invitation for any items that aren't obvious.

6. Print your invitation on a sheet of colored card stock. Cut the card stock to the invitation size that you chose, either 4 by 6 or 5 by 7.

7. Decorate the sleepover party invitation. You can punch two holes in the top of the invitation, loop a colorful ribbon through the holes and tie it in a bow. Or, make a glue outline along the border of the invitation, and sprinkle glitter on the glue. You can add sequins to the corner of the invitation for a bit of sparkle.

Tips & Warnings

• Personalize your sleepover party invitation by including a digital image of the guest of honor on it. Adjust the text so that it wraps around the image.
