Your daughter wants to have a sleepover party for her birthday, she says it's the coolest thing to do and yet you can only imagine eight tiny six year olds running around the house like hooligans. Let her host the coolest sleep over party ever! With tips I share with you below, you can allow her to host the coolest sleep over party ever and still maintain your sanity! Plus I have added several tips on how to do all of this for under seventy five dollars!

Party Suggestions for Eight Girls.

Fun things to do:

Hair Salon ~ Little Girls love to play around with different hair styles. Set up a table with a variety of hair clips, brushes and combs. Make sure you have at least one brush and for each girl. You really don't want to deal with head lice! The Dollar Store offers sets of a brush and a comb together for just a dollar and you can buy packages of hair clips that come with enough for everyone! Then let the girls do each other's hair in different styles. Make up a prize for each girl, using titles like, Most Creative, Tallest, Frizziest, etc. Buy all of the clips, brushes, combs and prizes at the dollar store!

Hair Clips ~ 1 Package of 16 = $1.00

8 - Brush & Comb Sets = $8.00

8 Prizes = $8.00

Total Cost: $17.00

Makeover ~ Looking glamorous is another favorite thing for little girls, so let them do makeovers on each other! The Dollar Tree offers miniature make up kids for children, so buy one for each girl and your cost is just eight dollars!

Go to the Movies ~ When they are all getting tired, put in a movie that you have rented or maybe a new one your daughter received as a gift. Then pop some popcorn and let them all just chill out and relax.

Movie Rental: $3.00

Microwave Popcorn: $2.99

Total Cost: $5.99

Dress Up ~ A favorite of all little girls. Whether they have a huge selection of pre designed dress up clothes or they are using mommies, all little girls just love to dress up! Check out your local thrift shop or Goodwill Store and pick up eight different fancy dress up outfits and some dressy shoes. Then let all of the girls play dress up, they will each have one outfit and they can take turns trying on all the different ones. Make sure to buy only items that are marked way down or on sale! Make your budget twenty dollars and don't go over it!

Things to Eat:

Every party needs some snacks and treats! While you are at the dollar store, check out their huge selection of treats. Buy just a few bags of chips and maybe some cheese and crackers.

Total Cost $5.00

Since it is a sleepover, you will need to serve dinner and breakfast! Have the kids make their own pizzas for dinner! Pick up some pre made pizza dough, a jar of sauce and some shredded mozzarella cheese, then cut the dough down into balls so there is enough for each child to have one. Then let them roll their own dough out, add sauce and cheese. You can place them in the oven for them, then once they've cooled, serve them on pretty paper plates.

2 Rolls of Pizza Dough - $6.00

1 Jar of Sauce - $2.99

1 Bag of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese - $2.50

Total Cost: $11.49

Breakfast:

Buy a Box of Pre made French Toast Sticks and a bottle of maple syrup!

Total Cost: $3.99

Following all of these tips should cost you only around seventy two dollars! That's way under budget, so you do have a little leeway. The girls will have a ball, you won't go broke and with all the activity, they are sure to have a great time! "Here's to the Coolest Sleep Over Party Ever"!
