80s sleepover

forrestina by forrestina · Oct 20, 2006 · 343 views · Ask eZabel

My friend is getting married this December and I thought it would be fun to have one last sleepover as single girls. I'm starting to plan it and I had the idea to make it 80s themed. So far I've come up with these basic ideas...

SNACKS:
Rice Crispie treats, fluffernutter sandwiches, english muffin pizzas, Bubble Tape/Bubble Yum/Bubblicious, Nerds, Razzles, Fun Dip, Pop Rocks, Ring Pops, Doritos, lipstick candy, Twizzlers, 80s cereals, Fruit Roll-Ups/Fruit by the Foot, pigs in a blanket

DRINKS:
wine coolers (how could we not?), Pepsi, Budweiser, Kool Aid, Capri Sun, Five Alive (if they still make it!)

-make mix tapes to play at the party
-play madlibs, M*A*S*H, chinese jumprope, yo-yo, Simon, Girl Talk, LIFE, Twister, etc...
-neon cups and paper plates
-"goody bags" like we used to have with nail polish, barrettes, jelly rings and bracelets, candy
-karaoke
-watch 80s movies

Got any more ideas?

hahah do they still make boones? i remember seeing adults drinking that at all the gatherings. def gmail me some music. i've got a bunch, but i will need lots cos i know we'll be up all night dancing.

how cute is this idea! my friend is getting married end of november and i'm hosting a girls sleepover at my house, maybe i might steal your idea.

another suggestion: fondue...that's very 80's...or 70's..?

forrestina #3.1 forrestinaOG 2002

70s for sure, but we ate it like crazy in the 80s too

Oh man, I remember playing MASH at every possible interval of free time in middle school. I even saved a few that I thought were really positive and found them when I was moving out of my parents' house. Twas such a simpler time.

remember the SP episode where the boys decide the girls can tell the future with them and they have to capture it and send butters in as a girl to the sleepover?

wait, is this just for two people? cause that sounds like a heck of a lot of food for just two people.

...but we all know how much girls can eat when they just want to sit around, pig out, and talk about their periods.

forrestina #6.1 forrestinaOG 2002

ha i'm not making all that food. i'm just getting ideas down. it's going to be a house full of girls though so i've got to be prepared for the inevitable pig out.
