We all remember the times when our parents helped us set up a sleepover with our friends! You would get to spend the night with your besties watching tv and play all night long. No matter if you're a child or an adult, slumber parties can still be a fun activity to plan and host. Our slumber party checklist will help you plan one of the best nights you or your child will ever have!
This template will guide you through each step of planning a slumber party and help countdown the days till your big party!
5 Reasons to Love Our Slumber Party Planning Checklist
1. Automatic Timeline
How long does it take to plan a slumber party, you ask? We believe that there is no fixed time frame that will work for everyone. Since everyone has their own specific situations and timeframes we created a checklist that will help you countdown the days till your slumber party. Just add the day you started planning, along with what day you’ll be holding the slumber party, and each task included in the worksheet will get an assigned due date! This will help you plan and make sure you have everything taken care of in time for the big day.
2. Visuals
Our template is formatted to help you easily see what tasks need to get done, and which should have higher priority. This feature should help you keep track of all the little details you need to complete on your slumber party checklist.
- Find the perfect movie? Check the box in the row for choosing a movie, and it will turn green. This helps you visually spot which tasks are still outstanding.
- Did you get caught up with your busy schedule? If you start to approach a due date, it will turn yellow. If it passes without completion, it will turn red. This will help you prioritize tasks.
