We’ve come up with the perfect at-home date for you and your sweetheart that’s all about the snuggles and filled with sleepover activities you’ll LOVE.

Spouse Sleepover Invitation
No list of sleepover activities would be complete without a little prep item and we’ve got just the thing! Your printable slumber party invitation will get your spouse ready for the fun to come in a super creative way that’s totally slumber party worthy. But are you ready for the ultimate cuteness factor? Check this out: Your printable invite is crafted to look (and work) similar to a sleeping bag and houses the invitation insert beautifully. How’s that for fabulous?! Assembly is easy as pie (or should we say popcorn?) and we’ll walk you through just how to do it!
How to Assemble Your Spouse Sleepover Invitation
- Begin by printing your Sleeping Bag Pouch and Sleeping Bag Invitation Insert on the high-quality paper of your choosing. We recommend a good cardstock for best results and ultimate date night satisfaction.
- Cut carefully around the individual edges, sides flaps, and tab.
- Fold along the thin, white lines of the Sleeping Bag Pouch and secure main flap edges and the bottom tab with adhesive—thereby creating your perfect, pocketed pouch.
- Next, you’ll want to grab your Sleeping Bag Invitation insert and fill in the day and place of your slumber party for two.
- Slide the card into your newly formed Sleeping Bag Pouch and voila! Leave it somewhere for your honey to find and to give them a sneak peek of the night’s adventures.
- Color the first step of your sleepover prep done-zo (OR make sure to save these easy steps to your Date-Night Pinterest Board right now, so you can come back them soon and you’ll know exactly what to do)!
Sleepover Ideas to Set the Stage
Date Night Sleepover Ideas:
- Pull your mattress or a couple of sleeping bags into the living room.
- Build a blanket fort or teepee around your mattress/sleeping bags to keep any ghosts away!
- Get your hands on an electric lantern, flashlights, glowsticks, and other items to help light up the night.
- Gather the materials on your Spouse Sleepover Checklist and set them up on a picnic blanket in a central area.
- Grab a selection of movies, scary stories, and games to keep the fun going for hours!
Things to Do at a Sleepover with Your Spouse
It’s almost go-time. Are you ready for this? Included in your printable pack is a one-of-a-kind checklist to help keep your sleepover activities not only fun but totally fresh. We’ve included five fantastic sleepover ideas for you to choose from and schedule according to your own timetable, but don’t be afraid to add a few extras for good measure! Take a look at the list below for an expansion of the ideas you two will absolutely love.
- First up! Games. Try your hands at a few rounds of your included printable version of Truth or Dare (more below) followed by cards or a board game the two of you love!
- Next is movie time! Watch a film you’ve been dying to see or go for a classic. We’ll either be watching this or this.
- Time to get your fright on! Take turns telling scary stories, making sure to hold a flashlight under your face for an added creep effect!
- Get rid of those thrills and chills with some much-needed snuggles. Talk about your hopes, wishes, dreams, and plans for the future or reflect on memories of the past (This activity might just be our favorite part).
During all of the above sleepover activities, be sure to snack, snack, and oh did we mention snack? Have at it!
Fun Sleepover Games

Your last set of printables in your downloadable pack activities, it’s nevertheless an activity you DON’T want to miss.

For a refresher on how to play this great and goofy game, keep reading!
How to Play Truth or Dare: Spouse Sleepover Edition
- Separate your Truth or Dare cards into two separate piles.
- Decide who is Player #1 and Player #2.
- Player #1 then asks Player #2, “Truth or dare?”
- If Player #2 chooses ‘Truth,’ they must select a card from the ‘Truth’ pile and answer the question- no lying allowed!
- If they chose ‘Dare,’ the same rule applies but with the ‘Dare’ pile. No passing, switching, or failing to comply allowed!
- Once they answer their question or complete their task, it’s Player #1’s turn to choose!
- Continue to play for as many rounds as you like, making sure to shuffle the Truth and Dare decks after each round.

This is going to be so fun. However, you have to let kids sleep early or start the games a little late.
The best part about this date is that the schedule is totally customizable! You do what works best for you! Thanks for your comment, Cassie! Xoxo
This was by far the most fun I’ve had in AGES! The truth or dare game was so hilarious that both of us ended up doing all the dares.
Katie, thank you so much for your sweet comment- I’m SO SO glad you guys liked it! And major props to you for doing all the dares- that’s gutsy! 😀 Best!

I love everything about this date! I love how you went through all the steps and spelled it out, made it so easy for me! Thank you thank you! XO
The truth and dare cards look so fun!
Thank you for your date ideas. I made the husband survival kit and my husband liked it “even though he doesn’t like m&m’s” (I didn’t know) but now I am going to try the sleepover. We are separated but I am working on restoring our marriage and I can use as many good ideas I can get. Your website was a brilliant idea. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy to hear this has been a good resource for you! XO
I made little sleeping bag invitations for my son’s 8th birthday party. His birthday was in the spring, so I cut the sleeves off our worn-out winter coats and hemmed the bottom. Voila! Looked exactly like little sleeping bags!
We do this at our house every so often but we call it “smother butt” night
I’ve done this before! It was so much fun! In our last apartment, we had a fireplace, so I set up the air mattress and we roasted marshmallows!
oh I love this idea! Simple dates are the best! Keep ideas like this coming!!!
I regular have Friday as piza movie at home date night but this is so
Much better!
I am so excited to do this date! Thanks! Love the invite and the scary stories idea! All of it looks like so much fun!
I love this idea! I am going to do it, but perhaps add some glow in the dark stars to the ceiling. My hubby likes star gazing when we go camping.
Love this idea! My husband and I are doing it tonight. I’ve linked it to my blog.

🙂 thanks for all the wonderful ideas! You guys are awesome!!
Ok, I love this idea! The next time the kids go to the grandparents for the weekend, I’m doing this date Idea 🙂
I did my first date this weekend for my husband! It was so much fun! I loved being able to love him in such a fun way. We had a lot of fun staying up late, talking, and playing games. Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks for posting this fantastic idea! We tried it a few weeks ago and it was SO MUCH FUN! I just blogged about it and figured I'd be ungrateful if I didn't tell you personally how wonderful you website has been for us. Thank you!
Ah such a cute idea!! I'm totally doing this!
So cute! Thanks so much for sharing! I featured ya'll on my blog today, hope you don't mind! http://www.lovingcouponsandmore.blogspot.com
I love this idea and the scrabble game is so cute!
CUTE IDEA!! I love it! Now I want to suggest a fun game to you and all of your fun friends! It is called "the game of things" I don't know if you have ever played it but it is my favorite game to play with a bunch of couples for a game night! Just a suggestion in case you run out of ideas . . . but who am I kidding you are the DATING DIVAS!! 🙂
I think this is my favorite post of them all! hahaha 🙂
Fun idea! We like to stay up after the kids are in bed, but this spices the date up 🙂 Did you get an overnight babysitter? or did your kids join you for breakfast?
So fun! My hubby and I do this often, only we use our air mattress. Sometimes we even make a fort out of blankets like when we were kids! I'm going to have to add the scary stories in next time! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Fantastic idea! I know my hubby would love it if I would dig out some of his old scary story books for a night like this. Thanks for the notion!
Too much fun! With a pull-out sofa, I won't even have to pull the mattress off the bed! 😉
great idea–and totally doable for us since we won't haev to get a babysitter for the baby!
I am going to have to plan this date sometime soon.
Such a fun idea! My husband and I had a sleepover just last night, not as fun as this one though! 😀
Hi, I am getting married on the 23rd of this month. I am so glad my friend recommended this website because it is so informative and fun! Thank you so much for creating this site! God bless you all!
This is so much fun! If your really creative and need an activity to do, build a fort over the sleeping bags.:) ~Nike
So fun! My hubby and I do this all the time!! We love it!!
Love it! 🙂
Such a fun idea!
I love this, it's so easy to put the baby down to have alone time…:)
I will be trying this out come next weekend!
What a cute simple idea without having to get a sitter. We do sleepover in the living room with our kids every Friday that we are home (which really isn't all that often actually), but just me and my spouse, how fun!! Thanks!!
What a fun, easy, yet creative idea! Thanks!
This is SO cute! I'm planning this fun easy date soon!!!
