Growing up sleepovers are a right of passage. Staying up late, watching movies, eating way too many snacks, maybe a late night game of truth or dare? We’ve put our Sunday Supper tastemakers to the test to create some amazing sleepover food ideas! Sweet and salty late night foods, kid-approved dinners, breakfasts to feed a crowd. As the kids head back to school, we’ve got you covered for all your sleepover needs.
Why should sleepovers end just because you grew up? Bring out your inner child and have a slumber party; pillow fights are, of course, optional. Sure, you could throw a sleepover for your kids and their friends. Spend time making them sleepover food, that you will inevitably end up cleaning off your floor the next morning while dealing with cranky kids who didn’t get enough sleep. OR you could throw one for yourself! Invite over your closest friends, put on some pajamas, make some of our sleepover food ideas, open a bottle of wine, and bring on the laughs and good times.
Growing up I lived for sleepovers, a night away from mom and dad?! Yes, please! Of course, what I loved most was all the sleepover foods. Pizza dinners, late night snacks in front of the TV, big breakfast in the morning? Count me in! There are no rules at a sleepover; no one telling you to eat your veggies or it’s time for bed. Those were the days. Let’s bring those memories with our Sunday Supper Sleepover Food Ideas this week.
Reasons to throw a sleepover party:
- Spa Weekend
- Birthday Party
- High School Reunion
- Bachelor/ Bachelorette Party
- Netflix Binge Watching Marathon
- Super Bowl Party

- Or just because you want to!
