Pink & Zebra Themed Sleepover Birthday Ideas

Decorate for a pink zebra party with zebra-print accessories.


Zebra prints with hot pink accents is a bold, wild and feminine combination that appeals to many teen and preteen girls. A girl who wants to use this as a theme for her birthday party sleepover can incorporate the colors and patterns into each aspect of the party. Does this Spark an idea?


Invitations


Showcase the sleepover theme on the invitations by choosing a design with a zebra print. Many stores and websites sell zebra-print invitations with either a pink or white background and black zebra stripes. You can also make your own by drawing wavy stripes on card stock with a black marker. If you opt for white invitations with black stripes, bring the color in by tying a pink ribbon on the invitation or writing the text with a dark pink pen. If you would prefer to focus more on the pink than the zebra, choose pink invitations and add a zebra-print ribbon as an accent.


Decorations


When decorating for the sleepover, focus on zebra-print decorations with accents in pink. Welcome guests into the party through a doorway draped with pink, black and white crepe paper streamers. Decorate the table, which is often a focus of the party, with a zebra-print tablecloth or table runner. Use pink tableware as accents.


Food


Bring the colors of pink, black and white into the food you serve throughout the sleepover. For late-night snacks, serve an assortment of Good & Plenty candies, which are white and pink, along with black jelly beans. One creative idea for breakfast is to make pancakes, drizzle them with chocolate syrup to give them a zebra pattern and serve them with home-whipped cream that you colored pink with a few drops of food coloring.


Activities


One fun craft idea for girls to work on in the evening is decorating pillowcases. Start with white pillowcases and have the girls paint black zebra stripes on them with fabric paint. After the paint dries, give the girls pink fabric markers and let them add more designs or write notes on each others' pillowcases. Girls can take them home as party favors and keepsakes of the sleepover. For another activity for teen girls, give them pink, white and black nail polish and let them do each others' nails.
