How to plan the perfect sleepover for ages 8 to 12

This is the age when a sleepover becomes a core memory. They are old enough to stay up, young enough to still gasp when they walk into a styled room. Your job is the date, the guest list, and the snacks. Ours is everything else.

Keep the night simple

Pick a date and a theme. Reserve with a $75 retainer. We deliver, build, and style the teepees, with memory-foam mattresses, linens, lights and trays, while the guest of honor is out of the house. Next morning we collect it all and launder every linen.

What actually matters

A station that is theirs (the teepee), a little glow, and one activity that is not a screen. Canvas painting, a slumber spa add-on, or a movie-night theme all work. Six to eight guests is the sweet spot for most living rooms.
