first sleepover

Debut overnight stay

A first sleepover is a child's initial experience spending the night at a friend's house, a milestone in childhood independence often accompanied by excitement and anxiety in equal measure.

Parents may worry more than the child: She called three times during his first sleepover.

The phrase can also describe hosting: We're having Emma's first sleepover this weekend.
