for what it would cost to rent one, you could probably just buy one. they're not that expensive, they sell them in bed, bath and beyond...(i think?) what's wrong with having them watch a movie? what about playing games like pictionary or charades...they can have teams...it will be so cute!
ETA: how about letting them play with a video camera if you have one...maybe make some music videos or something...

Kelly has a good point about buying one at BBB. You could also make s'mores with them. Buy all the ingredients to make your own mini pizzas and let them help (and clean up )..
I have to say that you must be a very generous and giving aunt to have them ALL over at once overnight!

WOW 13?! I took my friends kids for a night and that was just 4 of them! I give you credit. Let's see... when I had them over, we baked cupcakes, that occupied about an hour. Um... I'm trying to think what I did when I had my slumber parties back in the day... we tie-died t-shirts once, lol... Gee, I'm stumped.

We had a night with the neices last Saturday and we had a fondue party with them!! They loved it!
They did not know what fondue was - but it was a hit!
Have fun and good luck!

Is it possible to rent a karaoke machine? That may be asking for trouble (or a really, really bad headache for you!) but it seems like kids in that age range might all enjoy it!

Re: Need help re: slumber party ideas!
You really don't have to get that complicated with the tie died shirts. Just have the kids put the rubberbands around the shirts and you throw them in the washer machine with one color of the rit dye Wash them and dry then and if you want to add another color have them put more rubberbands on them and stick them in the washer again with the rit dye.
I just wouldnt have them touch the dye.
Goto the duncanhines.com website they have a bunch of cute cakes/cupcake ideas that you can make. How about making cookies or chocolate chip waffles with ice cream.
