Pajama Party Parade
One of the most hilarious things you can do is have a pajama party pageant. This is especially fun with teens or even ladies retreats. Plan ahead the categories for judging - funniest, most creative, silliest, most elegant. Everyone has to parade down the "runway" and there PJs get judged. You can even have a bedroom slipper judging contest too. Consider having a theme for your pajama contest. For example, everyone has to come as their favorite cartoon character.

Pick a Fun Theme
Choosing a theme can add spark to your next pajama party. Your theme can be anything - a western theme, a luau, Mexican night - whatever you like. Then center your activities around the theme. Play pajama party music that goes with the theme. Have simple snacks prepared ahead of time or plan a simple dish that the kids can fix themselves. Make sure you let you your guests know what the theme is so they can come dressed for the theme.

Here are some great ideas that you can use for a great pajama party:

• Make a Pillow Friend: For this event have everyone bring a pillowcase with them. Provide stuffing, fabric paints, needle and thread, yarn, ribbon etc. Have the girls design a pillow friend out of their pillow case. When they are done designing and decorating them have the kids stuff the pillowcase and sew up the bottom. Then have a pillow fight - what pajama party is complete without one?

Set up different stations throughout the house - a facial station, pedicure station and hair washing and drying station. Be sure and take lots of pictures of the transformations.
