Another way to be happier is to see those you love more often. How better than a sleepover? You can stay around your friends/family for a long time, relax and show them what a great host you are so they'll want to see you more often too.
How To Host a Perfect Sleepover
You will need:
- DVDs and video games
- Snacks
- A nice meal
- Sleeping equipment (sleeping bags, mattresses/airbeds, etc)
- A sleepover room
- A video camera
Step 2) Get all of the things you need - specific DVDs, games, snacks, etc.
Step 3) The day of the sleepover, prepare the sleepover room with sleeping/hanging out equipment.
Step 4) When the guests arrive at your house, offer them a place to put their bags and coats, to go and get settled and any questions you need to ask them.
Step 5) Enjoy! Take photos, play games, watch DVDs, chat and do whatever else you want.
TIPS!
- Possibly pick a theme: fancy dress, pink, history, etc. Our movie night's theme was a movie marathon.
- Suit each guest's needs. If somebody finds something too much, stop it. If they feel homesick, give them a big hug. If they want to play a specific game, why not? It's their night too!
- Stay as chilled as possible. Too much excitement in an unfamiliar place can be fun but stressful. Take lots of chillax-time.
- If you watch a horror movie, read a magazine at the same time and look at your friends when the scary moments to cool off and find the whole thing funny.
- Sleep when you're tired. You'd rather sleep and feel better in the morning for it than be too tired and get upset.
