This is the ideal pyjama party guide for your girls night
A girls“ night is something everyone can use, right? And what could be more fun than a good, old-fashioned sleepover? I can hear you thinking: ”Laudonne, isn't that a bit childish?” No. Really not. Isn't it fun to sit on the couch with all your friends in your comfiest pajamas and watch movies? Or play games? And eat the tastiest snacks? Yes, sorry, but if that's too much, then I don't know what to say. A pajama party is just in. Everyone online is enjoying these parties, so we'll outline how to plan the best party for you. From the decor to the matching looks: this is the pajama party guide.
The decor
Of course, everything has to be aesthetically pleasing. The plates, the decorations, the food. Think of it as a themed party: everything has to match. This is the sleepover you always dreamed of as a child. Set the table with your prettiest dishes (bonus points if they're pink). Place them on matching placemats and fill the rest of the table with candlesticks with burning candles, flower arrangements, and whatever makes your heart race. Don't worry if it's a pink affair: you really don't need to set up a bouncy castle. It's not a children's party, but you do want to bring back that nostalgic feeling. So definitely hang up the (pink) streamers. Inflate pink and white balloons with helium or place fresh flowers everywhere. And instead of hot chocolate, pour wine and cocktails. An adult pajama party is just too cute, right?
A party without food doesn't exist
Yes, everyone knows that, right? Food is also necessary at this sleepover. You need fuel to party. And to take fun photos. Does that have to be only expensive snacks? No, of course not. Look, it's very nice to have a vintage heart cake made, but that's really not a requirement. Just order pizza (or even better; make it yourself. That way you have a fun activity), make brownies, buy cupcakes, put together a charcuterie board. It can all be done.

The looks then
If there's one thing that's important at a pajama party, it's the looks. You want your party to look perfect down to the last detail. You do this by arranging matching outfits. Get pajamas or send out a theme: pink, casual chic, silk pajamas, Victoria's Secret – make it as crazy as you want, but keep it cohesive. You don't want one person to show up in a black tracksuit and another in a light yellow silk set. Put some slippers by the door and let's get this party started.
Activities
Although chatting for hours about everything in everyone's life is very cozy, you want to do more than just sit, eat, and gossip. You want to do something. And no game of Monopoly, because we've seen that. Go baking together or painting. A sip ‘n paint is super fun. Put on a nice movie and all cry together over The Notebook. Or go for a romcom marathon. Paint mugs or have a photoshoot with a polaroid camera. Oh, or super cool with Christmas now: make a gingerbread house. Yes, there are so many things you can do.

Some extra inspiration
Do you need some extra help visualizing your party? Then we'll help you out a bit. These are, in my opinion, the cutest parties:
Isn't this just so cute with all those pink pajamas and snacks? It doesn't have to be super big either. Just sitting together around a coffee table is also nice.
Mixing and matching looks is also something really cool. Especially if you want to take a lot of photos. Go for prints that you like, but honestly? Floral prints always work well. Braid each other's hair, go for curls – do whatever it takes for the prettiest pictures.
Personally, I think it would be amazing to do this for my birthday. The girls don't even have to stay over, just a girls' night with face masks, nice drinks, and a fun movie is enough. And that's a bit different from a simple cocktail party.
And my favorite: making gingerbread houses. Yes, I know I'm repeating myself, but you really have to do this during the holidays. Maybe I'm projecting my wish list onto you now, but this is creative and delicious.
There you go. Now you can throw the best aesthetic pajama party. Just like all those other it-girls on TikTok.
