Christmas Slumber Party Ideas

Step 1: Send Invitations

The first step to impressing your friends is sending invitations! There’s something about receiving an invitation that makes everything feel more legit, haha.

First things first, you should compile a guest list.

Whether you’re inviting family members or close friends, it’s always a good idea to have a running head count.

(We want to make sure we have enough food, drinks, and space for everyone.)

After determining the number of guests, it’s time for the exciting part: creating invitations. You can do this one of two ways: design them yourself or purchase them.

I send my invitations via text and always create them on Canva.

Canva is a beginner-friendly, free, online graphic design platform with thousands of template designs to choose from.

I’ve become so good that my friends and family occasionally pay me to create their invitations. 🙂

If you don’t have the time or creative mind, here are some of my favorite Christmas sleepover party invites:
