Throw a Sleepover like Blair Waldorf

In Gossip Girl World, Blair Waldorf's annual sleepover is one of the most talked about events of the year. If you want to throw an amazing sleepover just like Blair's, you're in the right place. Even though you might not be filthy rich or live in an enormous place with trundle beds at your disposal and maids at your beck-and-call, this guide will help you host the perfect sleepover.

Steps

  1. Plan any details, like what food you will buy and what films you will rent. Make sure you have all of it beforehand.
  2. Clean everything up in the room you're going to host the sleepover in. The room has to be perfect and organized. Put away any clutter, put all makeup and beauty products in one part of the room, hide anything you don't want anyone to see (like a diary) and display anything you want to be seen (like an award), and run the vacuum cleaner around. When the room is clean you can start preparing for your sleepover.
  3. Sort out the sleeping arrangements. If people are sleeping on mattresses on the floor, put the mattresses down and put sheets and duvets on them. Add lots of classy throw pillows. Try to arrange the beds head to head in a sort of rectangle, and put nice tables in between the heads of the beds. Decorate those tables with beautiful tables cloths and add a few table lamps on them. Try to use the space as well as you can. It's good if you have a bin somewhere in the room for food packets and stuff. If you have any mood lighting, like fairy lights or lamps, it's good because it creates an atmosphere. Everything should look like it's supposed to be there, with nothing out of place.
  4. Invite your BFFs. Decide how many people you are having over, Blair usually has a crowd, but she invites her BFFs first. Depending on how many people you are allowed, invite your BFFs, then anyone else. Make sure it's okay with your parents; confirm with them a second time just to be sure. Make sure the drop off and pick up is arranged with your friends.
  5. Arrange makeup and beauty products on a long table. Put your favorite glamorous clothes on racks and roll them into the sleepover room. Add mirrors and feather boas.
  6. The food should be a decoration in itself! Put cookies in classy glass jars, fruit in expensive looking, suitable, goblets, drinks in crystal bottles and a big bowl of non-alcoholic champagne on multiple tables. Non alcoholic Champagne in bowls is 'very' Blair Waldorf. Arrange champagne glasses nicely (no paper cups) and add trays of French and Italian desserts and grapes everywhere. Add a special platter for hot drinks like coffee or hot cocoa, maybe even an old fashioned tea set (but remember it isn't a tea party).
  7. Start the sleepover! Blair starts her sleepovers at about 7pm. Start with makeovers, then go onto Gossip Girl; because Gossip Girl is fiction, start a Gossip Book and share all the gossip you know in it you could add to it each sleepover. Afterwards watch a movie. Follow this by doing each others nails. Afterwards there are plenty of things you can do, having fun is the main thing. Also make sure you have breakfast in store for the morning.
  8. Get some music and dance all night till you fall asleep.

Tips

  • Make sure to act very VIP, popular and exclusive, but not snobby.
  • There are many things you can do at a sleepover. Here are some other fun things to do at a Blair sleepover:

Warnings

  • Don't do drugs. Your parents will know and it's really not Blair Waldorf...
  • Most sleepovers aren't crashed because they aren't known too well, but sometimes guys have been known to crash girls' sleepovers. If you don't want people around that have shown up, get your parents to "kick them out" or "tell them it's time to leave" so that you don't look like the bad guy.
  • Be careful about drinking and drinking games. Many times people play games and end up embarrassing themselves. If you have just your girlfriends over, you can have a couple of drinks, but classy girls don't get drunk, they get flushed only.
  • Lots of girls mixed with expectations and alcohol can turn into a sticky situation. Don't get out of control and don't compromise yourself because you're dared to do something. Do not try to make someone do something either.
  • Be warned that usually if you leave the house without your parents' permission, they will find out about it. You can't be sneaky enough, so try to do your partying before curfew and then come home.
