[Hosting instead? See teepee sleepover prices →](https://slumberr.com/teepee-sleepover/) **Guests at a sleepover party only need five things: pajamas, a toothbrush, a change of clothes for the morning, any nightly medications, and one comfort item** — a pillow buddy, blanket or stuffed animal. Everything else, from bedding to entertainment, is the host’s job. And if the party uses a styled sleepover rental like a [teepee sleepover setup](https://slumberr.com/teepee-sleepover/), even the beds, linens and décor arrive done-for-you. Below is the full checklist we share with Slumberr families across Florida — tap items to check them off as you pack. ### For guests: the overnight bag ** 0 of 8 packed Pajamas (theme-matching if the invite has one) Toothbrush & toothpaste Morning change of clothes Comfort item — pillow buddy, blankie or plush Hairbrush & hair ties Any medications, labeled, handed to the host parent Water bottle Slippers or grippy socks ### For hosts: what to have ready Sleeping arrangements — one bed, mattress or teepee per guest Fresh linens and an extra blanket per child Dinner + breakfast plan (pizza and pancakes never miss) Snack station — sweet, salty, and one “wow” treat An activity for the first hour (spa station, slime, crafts) A movie queued for wind-down Nightlights for the hallway and bathroom Parent contact list + pickup times confirmed ## What you don’t need to pack when the sleepover is delivered A styled [sleepover party rental](https://slumberr.com/sleepover-rentals/) covers the heavy lifting: teepee or [glamping tents](https://slumberr.com/glamping-sleepover/), real mattresses, laundered bedding, breakfast trays, fairy lights and themed décor are delivered, styled and picked up the next day. Guests still bring their overnight bag — but nobody needs a sleeping bag, and the host doesn’t need seven matching air mattresses. ## Pro packing tips from 500+ sleepovers - **Label everything.** Eight girls, eight identical phone chargers. - **Pack the morning outfit on top.** Sleepy kids don’t dig. - **Skip valuables.** Tablets and jewelry stay home; the party provides the fun. - **Tell the host about allergies early** — snacks and breakfast can be planned around them. ## Sleepover packing FAQs ### What time should guests arrive and leave? Most Florida sleepovers run 5 p.m. to 9–10 a.m. Arrive after dinner prep is done, leave after pancakes — a 16-hour window that feels big to kids and manageable to parents. ### Should guests bring sleeping bags? Only if the invite asks. Styled sleepover rentals include mattresses and fresh linens, so sleeping bags usually stay home. ### What should kids wear to a themed sleepover? Pajamas that nod to the theme — pink for a Swiftie night, cozy plaid for glamping. The [theme](https://slumberr.com/party-themes/) drives the décor; guests just need comfy PJs that photograph well.
