To Dress Like Marty

3. Timeless: Recreate Classic Makeup and Hairstyles from 100 Years of Beauty

4. Giant Panda Plush

Remember that part of the “Sandra Dee” song where Rizzo sings “keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers, would you pull that crap with Annette?”. Shes scolding a giant panda bear! (Which by the way is appropriate because Annette Funnicello went on to design and manufacture teddy bears). This giant panda will be perfect for girls night!

Grab your Giant Panda Plush here.

5. Black Fold Out Fan

Your sleepover isn’t complete without a fold out fan like Marty busts out mid scene. This fan not only comes with a beautiful gift box, but is made using silk. It’s lightweight, virtually silent and will keep you cool when you are getting overheated from your slumber party dance off.

Pick up your fold-able fan here.

Activities for your Grease Slumber Party

1. Katy Perry Meow Perfume

Now, you could be thinking, what the heck does Katy Perry have to do with Grease. Lol. Not much. But, if you remember in the scene, as pictured above, Marty writes love notes to her boo and then spritzs them with perfume. This Katy Perry bottle is cute and retro with the perfect sweet and clean scent. (And, it won’t set you back $100).

2. Gel Pens

Granted, then didn’t have gel pens back during when Grease was set, but these are the perfect updated way to write your love letters. Grab your favorite color and start the poetry, love note, or whatever you want to send to your friend/family/loved one.

Pick up your gel pens on Amazon.

3. Stationery Set with Envelopes

Food & Drink Ideas for your Grease Slumber Party

Twinkies & Wine

You can see Jan snacking on Twinkies throughout this scene. They’re a classic snack and still available at the grocery stores. The ladies also pass around a bottle of wine. Now, I would suggest getting mini bottles of wine, so you don’t have to have a bunch of back wash. Lol. But, you can have a pretty good party with a box of Twinkies and a six pack of mini wine bottles!
