    Pillow Case Un-Slumber Party Invitations

    Published: Jan 29, 2021 by Heidi. This post may contain affiliate links 26 Comments

    This summer, we had a great time throwing an Un-Slumber Party for Boo.  Instead of a sleep-over, we opted for a late-night party.  (The girls came in their pajamas, played games, and stayed up late, but then they all went home to sleep!)

    I already shared one of my favorite projects from the party--my Spin the Nailpolish Bottle Game--but I got distracted by Valentine's Day and forgot to post the rest of the party!  I figure that it's about time, so today I'm sharing the invitations.

    These invitations are made from 12x12 paper, so I am offering a free download of the Silhouette cutting files I created.

    My invitation idea was inspired by one I saw on TwiggleBox.blogspot.com.  If you want another version of the poem, or if you want to try a cloth pillowcase instead of a paper one, head on over to my inspiration site to check out another fun option.

    Here's my poem (adapted from TwiggleBox):

    You're Invited to Our

    "Un"-Slumber Birthday Party!

    Come to play and stay up late.

    Tessa Fowler's turning 8!

    (Please say you'll help us celebrate!)

    Bring your pillow, make friends new.

    Wear your PJs, slippers too!

    (We'll do fun things girls like to do!)

    Candy, popcorn, ice cream, yum!

    Paint nails, play games, movie fun!

    (A happy time for everyone!)

    And when it's time to go to bed,

    You'll all go home to sleep instead!

    To make your own, download my cutting files, and create your own poem to add to the pillow cutting file.  Print and then cut.

    Select three coordinating papers for the pillow cases.  Solid colors work best for the trim.  Cut the pillow case files on all three papers, and then mix and match them to create your pillows.  I've provided a diagram with the cutting files to show how to put the pillow cases together.

    Ready to give my slumber party invitations a try?  You can download the cutting files by clicking the download link below.  This is a zip file.  If you are not familiar with that format, you need to open the zip file first in order to see the cutting files inside.

    Updated 2/4/15:  I've had several readers ask for a file that they can print and cut themselves.  The original file is made for 12 x 12 paper, so it won't print on 8.5 x 11 paper.  I have not tested this file.  All I did was shrink the pieces to fit on 8.5 x 11 paper.  You are welcome to try printing and cutting yourself.  I hope it works for you! Good luck!

    *Updated May 2016: I just added a new diagram for putting the invitations together. I hope it helps!

      That is so cute! We've been to a few slumber parties where some of the kids end up wanting to go home so this is a great idea. All the fun and no anxieties!

        I totally agree, Jen. Plus, in this day and age, I refuse to let my kiddo's sleep at a stranger's house. I don't care how nice the dad or older brothers are. In my opinion, you just can't be too careful!

      hi, is there any way to get the files for me to just trace and cut? I don't have a fancy machine, but this is what my daughter wants for her invites. thanks

        Hi, Jamie. I added a printable file last night. In order to fit on 8.5 x 11" paper, it's a bit smaller. I haven't tested it, but you are welcome to give it a try!

      These are super cute! Any chance they can come in a file that's not a zip? I can't open them.

        I'm not sure why the zip file won't work, Angela. That's the only way I can deliver files that aren't pdf files. Have you tried using another browser?

      I love this idea! I just printed out the PDF file. However, I am unsure exactly how to put the invitation together. Do you happen to have an instructional video or post?

        Hi, Alyda. I never realized that the instructional diagram was not included in the printable version! Thanks for letting me know. I just added it. If you open the pdf again, you'll see a new diagram at the end. I hope that helps!

      Hi,
      Love these!
      Did you use paper or cardstock?? if paper, is it sturdy enough?

        Hi, Sally. The inside card is cardstock, but I used scrapbook paper for the envelope. That’s not as thick as cardstock, but it’s more sturdy than copy paper.

        Sorry about that, Samantha. I just updated my site design, and for some reason, that always effects my downloads. Let me quickly contact my web designer. I think there is a setting he needs to change. If you need the file before tomorrow, let me know.

      This is perfect for what I'm doing with my dance group! The only thing is, I wish it was saved as a png or jpeg so I could use it on my Cricut.

        Hi, Angie. Back when I originally created this, machines were using SVG files. Times have changed. I’ll try to add a png file eventually, but I’m in the middle of a cross-country move, so it will probably be too late for your dance class. Sorry.
