The Pajama parties are already a fad among preteens and in summer there are no more nights when it is not commented that one must be made soon. And is that pajama parties are a celebration at home in which the goal spend the afternoon, night and enjoy a good breakfast the next day before returning to the family routine. It is an economic party although for the fathers and mothers in charge of logistics, especially the recipients of all the children, it is a great effort to manage snacks, dinners, breakfasts, beds, sheets, enable spaces, etc. Maybe summer is the best time to celebrate them because you don't need a lot of bedding, or a lot of food, but have a lot of prepared drinks and enable a fresh environment. And the best thing in this type of party is to be as transparent as possible so that the little ones are comfortable, safe and entertaining and talk and tell their things while enjoying their friendship.
And at home logistics includes preparing the space in which they will have to rest or sleep. Obviously they have to do it all together so if there are no beds there will have to be room for sleeping bags. And it suits anticipate and prepare everything with good invitations, a good agenda, the basics that should be included in the bags and many contact numbers to answer questions if necessary, even if they take care of themselves and have fun alone.
As the party will last several hours you can decorate the area of the pajama party with a poster of the favorite artists of the kids and they can also be told to bring a t-shirt or accessory that combines with the decoration.
The challenge is to organize some entertainment in case the animation decays. So it is essential to use board games, dances (a video game console is a fantastic resource), contests, music programming and some makeup that always results. Also, some recorded movie of an artist of your interest to watch on television may be the final moment before going to bed.
And bedtime has to be rest for everyone. Even if the lights go out and the voices are still working, I think it is best not to attract attention because in the end they will fall asleep and fall until the next day.
The party will end with a good breakfast for all that includes milk, toast and butter and jam. If you also add some juice or combine it with fruits, the food will be enough and the kids will be recovered and ready for farewell.
And since it will not be the last party of the season it is best to make sure that everything has been collected, that they have had fun and that all parents are informed that everything has gone great and that they are ready and prepared for the next one.
