Good luck;)

I think you''ve got it covered. All they want from a sleepover is fun and films, plenty of snacks etc., but watch the coke cos if they have it too late they''ll be running round the house like loonies well into the early hours! If they''re a little older, then providing face packs, nail polish and make- up is nice, as that can be quite calming!

Be prepared for a sleepless night tho, and don''t be alarmed by how much they giggle. It is quite normal :side:

I think you should be really proud that your daughter clearly loves your new place and is happy to bring her friends there. It''s a massive compliment to you.

Accept that you''ll probably be ignored much of the time! They''ll want to talk and just have fun which, as Miss Tish says, involves giggling a lot and talking about school.

Have fun!

That''s right, they will want to ignore you, but its nothing personal! And if you want to remain the coolest dad in the world to your daughter, whatever you do, don''t show them your dance moves :cheer:

This is great news and a real feather in your cap :-)
I am not a mum but some things to add....
Don''t be an embarassing dad, give them the snacks etc and then disappear and pray for sleep.
Get contact details for the friends parents and speak to them first if possible to make sure you don''t get any supprises, particularly with regard to diet, so things like peanut allergy, or religiously inappropriate food.
Buy some ear plugs

Good luck

Popcorn for the films. The microwave kind provides more entertainment (depending on their age?) but more than one bag will be necessary as the first (and possibly the second!) will end up burnt and in the bin.

Pay for the pizza when it arrives (Dominos do half one type half another which saves on any potential huffs) and then disappear - you''ll all be a lot happier!

Oh, and make it clear to parents if sleeping bags/pillows etc are needed or not.

Have a great time!
