Have you ever thought about spending your birthday or any other holiday in some original and unconventional way for your family? Nowadays it is not at all fashionable to set tables with mayonnaise salads, mountains of meat, cold cuts and other junk food. It is much more interesting to fill the holiday with games and competitions on a specific topic. Recently, pajama parties have become popular. They can be organized not only as a bachelorette party, but also for other events. In this article you will learn exactly how to organize a pajama party for an adult audience.
How to have a pajama party
If you think that a pajama party can be done simply by dressing up in pajamas, then this is not true. There are several organizational points that should be taken into account if you want the holiday to be a success and memorable for your guests:
- Make invitations.. It is not necessary to hand over cards or some kind of paper products to everyone. We live in the 21st century, which means that it is enough to simply send an invitation by email or text message to your phone. Come up with an interesting text and add a picture of, for example, a teddy bear holding a pillow in his hands.
- After you receive a response from the invitee, inform him of the dress code. Enter the party in nice pajamas.
- Decorate the room where you are going to have your pajama party. For this you can use balloons, ribbons, soft toys, decorative pillows and other decorations that you consider appropriate.
- Prepare drinks and light snacks so that between competitions, games, movies and songs, your guests can take a break and have something tasty to eat.
- Consider an entertainment program. This could be various games, watching a comedy, karaoke, or fortune telling.
- Prepare memorable souvenirs and prizes so that not a single guest leaves your home without a present.
- It is advisable that someone photograph or film the entire action. If you don’t have this opportunity, then think about the time when you can take pictures with your phone during pauses between the main stages of your entertainment program.
Room decoration
The holiday is at home, so it is held in one large room. The owners of the house should take care of the decor of the room.
There are many inexpensive options for decorating a room:
- place soft toys everywhere;
- buy colorful balloons;
- hang children's drawings made by yourself on the walls;
- decorate the doorway with bright ribbons of fabric;
- stick phosphor figures that glow in the dark on the ceiling;
Take care of the musical accompaniment. Download songs that everyone at the party knows by heart.
Pajama party invitation, ideas with photos
As we already mentioned, pajama party invitations don't have to be traditional. Do as you see fit, and we will share with you ideas on what you can do:
Option 1
You can make eye masks from decorative paper, which are usually worn for better and deeper sleep. Stick a note on them inviting you to a party. Indicate the place and time of the event.
Option 2
Such beautiful color shades can be used to create an invitation card for your pajama party. The text can be typed on a computer, printed and pasted. It will turn out stylish, beautiful and economical.
Option 3
This option can be used as an electronic version of the invitation. Send the picture to a friend via messenger so that he can receive it as quickly as possible, and you can get a backlash.
Option 4
At first glance, this type of invitation may seem childish and unacceptable to some. But in fact, the invitation to a pajama party should have such a “cute” look and style. If your company consists of only girls, then you can safely take this template for yourself.
Option 5
A good invitation option if you are planning a pajama party as a bachelorette party. From the postcard itself it is already clear in what form you should come to the holiday, and in what mood. All that remains is to write where and at what time your event will take place.
Make a guest list
First, decide how many people will participate in the party. If your square footage allows, then you can invite a large group of friends, both sexes. But in this case, you will need to organize two separate sleeping areas, as well as various corners, for example, for quiet conversations, dancing and other events. The main thing is that each guest has enough space and their own space.
Pajama Party Styles
The style of the pajama party can be absolutely any - give free rein to your imagination, and you can come up with an incredible performance in your bedroom with your girlfriends or closest friends.
Here are some options for how to host a pajama party:
- Beauty saloon . You can invite a master for your girlfriends who will conduct a course on makeup for everyone. Girls will immediately be able to practice, take photos and receive a certificate of completion of the master class.
- Photo studio . Invite a professional photographer to your party who will do a photo shoot for all your guests in several images.
- Quest . You can organize a search for treasure or a set of cosmetics for your friends, who will need to complete several interesting tasks for this.
Incentive prizes
Nice prizes will motivate you to actively participate in competitions. You don't have to buy expensive rewards. Items from the following list are suitable:
- toys;
- bubble;
- sweets;
- comic certificates and medals.
Don't forget to arm yourself with a camera to capture the brightest moments of the holiday. After printing the pictures, share them with the participants of the pajama party.
To hold an unforgettable holiday, you don’t always need to come up with a lot of games and think through the course of the event in detail. You can have a good time watching a movie, telling fortune-telling games, or dancing. Close friends who have not seen each other for a long time will probably want to discuss the details of their personal lives over a cup of tea or a stronger drink.
The pajama party scenario can be anything. The main thing is to stock up on snacks and roughly think through ways to spend your time. By inviting your closest friends, you are guaranteed to have a fun holiday filled with a friendly atmosphere.
What you need for a pajama party
For your pajama party to take place, you need to follow the algorithm of actions that we have already given, as well as:
- Clean up the room.
- Prepare some kind of music and movie player.
- Postpone all your affairs for another day.
- Warn your family and work colleagues in advance so that you are not disturbed by calls that evening, otherwise you will definitely not be in the mood for such an event.
Food and drink
The pauses between planned entertainment should be filled with delicious snacks. The hostess of the evening does not need to prepare a luxurious table: light but satisfying sandwiches, fruit, and canapés are enough.
Guests can also be offered:
- sushi;
- fast food (pizza, burgers, fries);
- ice cream;
- nuts;
- cheese and meat slices;
- cookie;
- candies.
If you are planning an alcoholic party, opt for champagne, beer, and wine. Otherwise, guests will happily drink lemonade, milkshake, iced or hot tea. You can prepare the ingredients for fruit cocktails in advance, and later try yourself as a bartender right in front of your close friends.
There is no need to install a bulky table and a dozen chairs in the room. The room will become cramped, making it difficult to play games. You can sit with snacks on the floor or place dishes on the windowsill.
Consider serving snacks. It should be convenient for guests to take goodies without getting their hands dirty. Skewers and sushi chopsticks will do.
It is also important to learn about the taste preferences of your guests. It is quite possible that among them there are vegetarians and allergy sufferers.

Entertainment
Competition options for guests:
- Visit an imaginary SPA salon, bead weaving workshop, or art studio.
- Organize a fashion show - each guest presents her pajamas in an interesting way, and at the end of the parade the most sophisticated, glamorous, revealing, daring pajamas, etc. are determined.
- Pillow painting – Offer guests clean white pillowcases to decorate with fabric markers. They will take original souvenirs in memory of the party home with them.
- The best manicure - buy colorful bottles of nail polish in advance. The girls sit in a circle, spin the bottle one by one, and the one she points to smears her finger with varnish. Every scroll is a new polish. The girl who manages to get a full manicure first will win.
- Miss night - to any music in the competition program, guests demonstrate an outfit and come up with a name for it. The winner is determined by voting after each competition, and she is given a prize - a foam roller. The one who at the end of the competition will end up with a hairstyle made from curlers and will become Miss Night.
- Predictions – bake or buy cookies in advance and put or tie a fortune in each one. Guests take cookies and read what is promised to them: “you will soon become a wife,” “to be your boss,” “wait for a proposal from your beloved,” etc.
If the pajama party is organized not only for girls, make Hollywood at home. Make your guests feel like celebrities. Be sure that your holiday will be remembered for a long time, even if you have to prepare a red carpet and rent a projector for a big screen. The “red carpet” can be wallpaper or rolled paper of the desired color, and the “expensive” ones from dyeing can be bought in a children's store.
At the end of the party, present your guests with souvenirs: cozy home slippers, soft socks, sleep masks, original photographs, an alarm clock, etc.
What to do at a pajama party
At a pajama party you can:
- watch a few movies with cookies and delicious cocoa;
- sing karaoke;
- guess;
- play boardgames;
- to gossip;
- do each other's hair and makeup;
- learn something (baking gingerbread cookies, cooking pizza, knitting socks).
At a pajama party, you can do nothing at all, but just relax with friends, talk, dream, share secrets, or come up with some interesting joint project.
Preparation
For an evening in pajamas to be a great success and bring a lot of joy and leave a pleasant impression, the room, of course, should have: - a TV;
- music center or computer; - multi-colored night lamps; — microwave oven, as well as an electric kettle or thermoses with hot drinks; - karaoke. This is a standard set of equipment for such an evening. But perfection, as you know, knows no limits, so everything else is subject only to your imagination. The guests did all sorts of things during the entire pajama party: they had to listen to music, dance, watch an interesting movie with popcorn, snack on light snacks and taste hot food. And, if the party is exclusively for women, then you will probably need to stock up on hair curling irons and a manicure device needed for drying nail polish. After all, girls will probably want to set up a “beauty salon” right at home or organize a fashion show.

Think over the menu
Before creating a menu, pay attention to your guests' food preferences and restrictions. Perhaps some of them adhere to a healthy diet, while others are allergic to certain foods. If you don't know this, don't hesitate to ask them in advance to avoid any hassles on the day of the party. Also provide food for two meals: in the evening and in the morning. Of course, it is best to order a buffet table from a restaurant. But if you have time and desire, prepare everything yourself. Ideas and recipes can be borrowed here. You can also please your guests with homemade fondue (cheese, meat or chocolate). If this is too difficult or expensive, order pizza and rolls. For dessert, you can prepare cookies in the form of slippers or sleep bands, and put multi-colored M&M candies, marshmallows, marmalade and popcorn into plates. Most importantly, don't forget about alcoholic drinks. Also check with your friends in advance what they prefer. If your guests love cocktails, offer them Long Island, it can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Therefore, no one will be left out. In the morning, organize a coffee bar with baked goods: waffles, pies, pancakes.
Pajama Party Script
Pajama Party Competitions
- " Twister ". You can buy it in a store or make it yourself from paints and a sheet. This is a great option for playing in a noisy company. The presenter simply turns the arrows, which indicate the color and part of the body that needs to stand on it. Due to the fact that the participant takes a rather funny pose, the game is a great success.
- " Sleeping Beauty ". One of the girls lies down in a sleeping bag in the middle of the room. Everyone’s task is to wake her up, to make her start laughing or smiling. To do this, you need to tell funny stories, do whatever you want (only touching is prohibited) so that the girl wakes up.
- " Manicure ". You need to prepare as many bottles of varnish of different colors as possible. The essence of the game is the same as in “Spinning the Bottle”, only you don’t need to kiss, but paint one nail with the same color of varnish that was used as a spinning top.
- " Feed the ice cream ." Guests are divided into pairs and feed each other ice cream. The point is to get it done as quickly as possible. This is not a very safe competition to play, but it is fun.
- " Pop the ball ." A ball is tied to the participants' feet. They must burst the opponent's balloon with the other foot and at the same time keep their own.
Dress code
Regardless of the time of year, all children should have night clothes. This is precisely the essence of the celebration.
Pajamas can be very diverse, the main thing is that they do not embarrass the child during games.
Examples:
- Pajama set of any color and pattern.
- Kigurumi
- Long T-shirt with shorts.
- Terry robe with slippers (under the robe it is better to wear a T-shirt or T-shirt with shorts or short pants).
Leave the choice of pajamas to the guests, or clearly indicate exactly what dress code you want them to wear.
The hostess of the holiday can make a little surprise for the guests - give each guest a sleep mask. Choose it with a beautiful, cool print.
