Party On: Cozy Camp Themed Slumber Party

November 19, 2015

Written by Becca of CAKE.

It’s been a while since I’ve stopped by Honest to Nod with a new way to Party On! Summer kind of got away from me, but with school in full swing and a fall chill in the air, now is a great time to gather up the troops and host a camp themed slumber party.  Like many of you, I’m totally enamored with the Camp Wandawega collection, and it’s the perfect inspiration for a cozy camp-in.

Here are my tips to make your slumber party special:

  • Encourage everyone to come in their PJs and prepare to get cozy.
  • Move the couch out of the way and turn the living room into your very own campsite.  Spread sleeping bags in a semi-circle on the floor and tuck a raccoon inside for a big nighttime surprise.
  • Plan a hot dog bar for dinner with kid friendly fixins’ like shredded cheese, bacon bits and crushed potato chips.
  • Gather up some blankets, games and cards and play inside a teepee or fort. Go fishing.
  • Warm little hands by a faux campfire.  Encourage pretend play by passing out sticks and marshmallows to ‘roast’, and then bust out some s’mores brownies for a real dessert treat.
  • If you have a TV in the room, wind down the evening with a movie viewing from the floor in sleeping bags, and encourage lights out when the movie ends.
  • Keep a nightlight on, to point the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
  • Send guests off with a little camping buddy as a thank you for spending an evening in the great indoors.

If you need an invitation to get your camp party started, I have just the thing in my shop.
