Sleepovers? Should You or Shouldn?t You?

It?s the age-old question, but like most things in life, there simply isn?t one ?right? way to do things when it comes to our kids. Sleepovers can be a fun ?rite of childhood passage?.

5 Ways to Plan a Sleepover

ModernMom Staff

Before firming up any plans for a sleepover party with a child or teen, set a limit for the number of children invited to sleep over. Limiting the number of kids will make the party easier to handle and will keep down the costs of the sleepover. Remember that some guests may be able to attend the party but will not be allowed to stay for the sleepover due to curfews, family rules or early morning family obligations. On the invitations for any sleepover party request that guests bring a pillow, a sleeping bag, pajamas and slippers. Include any details about when kids should be picked up the next day.
