I did a birthday party last year for my 8 yr old daughter. we had 17 girls stay overnight. We started at 11 am and went till 11 the next day what a night........

I had them all come in their best tea dresses/outfits. I took a huge drop cloth and laid it on the front lawn and we had a little tea party- I got animal crackers, fruits and I used punch instead of tea, pb & J sandwiches cut out in little circles. I had them sit quietly and eat while I read stories to them. They loved it. We took their pics.

Then we had them do a treasure hunt outside - speacialize in treasure hunts and scavanger hunts. (after they changed of course)for dinner we did hamburgers and hotdogs and they got in their pjs and we made sundaes.

We did some sing a long karoke and then they watched movies and talked about boys in my daughters room. Then we had all the sleeping bags laid out on the lr floor and we turned the lights out and played find the person. Hope this helps.
