pajama party

Kids' bedtime bash

A pajama party is a sleepover, typically for children or teenagers, where guests wear their nightclothes and stay overnight at someone's home.

Activities usually include games, movies, and late-night talking.

The term emphasizes the casual, intimate nature of the gathering: My daughter's having a pajama party for her birthday.

Also called a slumber party.
