Invitations and Decor
First things first: set the tone with some eye-catching Barbie-themed invitations. Whether digital or paper, make sure they scream fun and fashion. Next, create your Barbie paradise by decorating the sleepover space with a chic pink palette and stylish Barbie decorations.
Think pink balloons, glittery streamers, and even a DIY photo booth corner decked out with Barbie props. It’s all about creating that glamorous Barbie vibe that makes your guests feel like they’ve stepped right into a scene from Barbie’s world.
Dress Code
To really get into the spirit, encourage your guests to bring their favorite Barbie outfits. Or, take it up a notch by providing Barbie™ x FUNBOY Dream Swim Blake Scrunchies as party favors.
These adorable accessories are perfect for pulling back hair as you dive into fun activities or settle down for a movie marathon. It’s a great way to make sure everyone feels part of the Barbie squad, adding an extra layer of excitement and unity to your fabulous sleepover.
Activities
No Barbie Sleepover would be complete without a lineup of dazzling activities that keep the energy high and the giggles going. Here's how to keep your guests entertained from dusk till dawn:
- Barbie Movie Marathon:Set up a comfy viewing area with our Barbie™ x FUNBOY Air Mattress, perfect for lounging while watching all your favorite Barbie adventures. Stack some pillows, throw out some fluffy blankets, and let the magical movie night begin.
- Fashion Show:Are you runway-ready? Host a Barbie-themed fashion show where guests can flaunt their most inspired looks. Make it extra special by adding accessories like the Barbie™ The Movie x FUNBOY Captain Hat for that nautical chic flair. It's the perfect prop to top off any ensemble and make each participant feel like a superstar strutting down the catwalk.
- Photo Booth:What’s a party without some glam shots? Set up an Insta-worthy photo booth area decked out with all things pink and pretty. Encourage guests to strike their best Barbie poses with fun props like oversized sunglasses and sequined scarves. Snap away as they show off their sparkle, capturing the joy and fashion of your epic sleepover.
- DIY Spa Experience:Transform part of your sleepover space into a relaxing spa area. Whip up some simple, safe face masks using ingredients like yogurt and honey, or create a nail station with pink and glittery polishes. Deck the area with fluffy towels and relaxing music to give everyone that spa-day feel.
Games and Crafts

And for the crafty queens, set up a DIY station where guests can whip up their own Barbie-inspired jewelry or decorations. Beads, glitter, and pink everything — let the creativity flow as they craft accessories fit for a Barbie princess.
Sleepover Snacks
No sleepover is complete without some scrumptiously themed snacks, and when it’s Barbie-themed, you know it’s got to be extra cute. Serve up some pink lemonade in fancy glasses, or how about cupcakes dusted with edible glitter?
Don’t forget the cookies — shaped and iced like tiny Barbie dresses or the iconic Barbie logo. These tasty treats are delicious and a feast for the eyes.
Story Time
As the evening winds down, gather everyone for a Barbie story session. Whether they’re reading from their favorite Barbie books or spinning their own tales of adventure and fashion, it’s the perfect chill-out activity to end on a high note.
Encourage them to imagine their own Barbie world — maybe even in a future where they’re the designers, adventurers, or stars! It’s a moment to dream big and believe in the power of imagination.
How Can You Amp Up Your Barbie Sleepover to Absolutely Fabulous?
So, you've got the basics down for your Barbie sleepover, but how do you kick it up a notch to make sure it's not just cool but absolutely fabulous? Here are some glitter-dipped, sparkle-infused tips to elevate your party from great to legendary.
Choose a Barbie Theme That Shines
Dive deep into the Barbie universe by picking a specific theme. Whether it’s a Barbie Rockstar Party or a Barbie Dreamhouse Gala, let your theme guide everything from your playlist to your pillow forts.
Imagine a Rockstar Party where every guest gets a temporary rockstar tattoo and a fake microphone or a Dreamhouse Gala where everyone designs their dream room on a mini canvas. Themes make the magic happen!
Plan for Inclement Weather
Even if you’re dreaming of a perfect Barbie-themed night under the stars, Mother Nature might have other plans. Have a backup plan for indoor fun if your party sights were originally set outside.
Put together cozy indoor areas with fairy lights and fun decorations so the party vibe stays strong no matter the weather. Plus, indoor activities like crafting, movie marathons, and spa stations can save the day.
Create a Custom Snapchat Filter
Create a party-exclusive Snapchat filter or Instagram story frame. Think pink, think sparkles, think everything Barbie — it’s a super cool way to get the party buzzing on social media and let everyone share their fab moments in style.
Organize a Barbie Swap
Encourage your friends to bring a Barbie item they adore but are ready to pass on — maybe a vintage Barbie dress or a cool accessory. Set up a Swap Boutique where everyone can trade items. It’s like thrift shopping but with your besties at a sleepover. Fresh finds, zero cost.
Prepare a Playlist
A killer playlist can set the mood and keep the energy high throughout the night. Curate a mix of upbeat pop hits, classic Barbie tunes, and some mellow tracks for winding down.
Share the playlist with your pals ahead of time so everyone can get excited and maybe even practice their dance moves. Music is a great way to keep everyone entertained and create those unforgettable moments.
Host a Pink Carpet Arrival
Make every guest feel like a VIP with a pink carpet entry. Set up a fun photo op with a Barbie backdrop where guests can strut their stuff and snap some stylish shots as they arrive. It’s all about making grand entrances and feeling fabulous from the get-go.
