sleepovers
Friends staying overnight
Sleepovers are social gatherings, typically among children or teenagers, where guests spend the night at a friend's home.
The appeal lies in the combination of late-night activities—movies, games, snacks—and the novelty of sleeping somewhere other than your own bed.
My daughter is having a sleepover for her birthday.
Adults occasionally use the term playfully or euphemistically for overnight romantic visits.
