slumber parties
Pajama-clad get-togethers
Slumber parties are overnight gatherings where children or teenagers sleep at a friend's house, typically involving games, snacks, movies, and staying up late: She's having a slumber party for her birthday.
The term evokes girlhood friendship rituals—pillow fights, truth or dare, whispering secrets.
Adult versions exist but carry nostalgic or ironic overtones.
