Setting The Mood
Send out
Spa Party Invitations
to let everyone know what a
glamorous party this is going to be.
Thank
all of your girlfriend's for a great party with
Spa Party Thank You notes.
Setting a
table with the
Spa Party Paper Goods,
including the tablecloth, cups, plates, napkins, and cutlery
is the fastest way to create a focal point in a room.
Use
Beads as napkin rings or as a part of
your table decorations.
Attach a bouquet of helium filled
Balloons to a light post
or mailbox so there will be no mistaking where the fun will
be that day!
Tie bows with Netting or Tulle across the top of each chair
back. The bows can be cut to any length and look terrific
with tails trailing on the floor. Make bows to hang anywhere
and everywhere…chairs, doorways, tree trunks, stair rails,
deck posts, gift packages or table-ends.
Balloons can economically transform any room into a festive
space in a matter of minutes by using some of the following
ideas:
Use a
Helium Tank to fill pink, blue and white balloons. Tie
Curling Ribbon to balloons and group them together. (Odd
numbers look best: 3, 5, or 7) attach them to balloon
weights and/or chairs throughout the party area.
If you choose not to use helium, tie balloons to varying
lengths of curling ribbon, and hang from the ceiling or from
a light fixture over the party table.
Visit our
balloon decorating
section for instructions on making balloon flowers,
balloon arches, balloon columns, balloon wreaths and balloon
swags.
Make Balloon Flowers in coordinating colors. You can hang
these anywhere or purchase a few dowel rods at your local
craft store and cut them to various lengths. Paint the rods
green and attach them to a wood base or use paper mache and
place in flower pots. Attach the balloon flowers to dowel
rods with pipe cleaners. These look like big daisies and are
inexpensive but give a huge impact!
Streamers offer an economical way to splash lots of color
around the site of the party. Create a fun and colorful
effect by draping streamers from the center of the ceiling
to the walls on each side of the room or form a canopy over
the party table. The streamers can cascade from a bow in the
middle (attached to the chandelier or the ceiling) to the
sides of the room. The streamers can be twisted after they
are anchored to a ceiling wall or table for a more
dimensional look. Two different colored streamers can be
placed back to back and twisted for a unique look. They also
look terrific hanging from doorframes or cascading
vertically down walls.
Cut out squares from foil and placed white tealights on them
which gave the rooms a nice glow.
Cluster together spa items on
tabletops throughout the party area, preferably on mirrored
trays, if any are available.
Consider items like:
Towels
Washcloths
Nail Files & Clippers
Pumices
Nail Brushes
Bottles of Lotion, Oil, Shampoo & Conditioner
Shaped Soaps in dishes
Tubes of Face Wash
Hairspray, Hairbrushes & Combs
Eye Masks
Beauty Stations:
Set up several beauty
stations throughout the party area where you can pamper your
guests. Enlist the help of friends and family to man each
station.
Facial Station - Every girl pulls their hair back with soft headbands and they get masks put on their face
and cleanser.
Make up & Hair station -set up a vanity with a chair. After
make-up and hair are done give each girl a tiara to put in
her hair and take home.
Manicure station - soak nails, add polish and nail decals.
Pedicure station - feet scrubbed and polished
Games & Activities
Spa Scavenger Hunt
Divide the girls into 2 teams and gave them a list to take
around the neighborhood. The list should contain
spa/makeover items such as: nail polish, shampoo, lip-gloss,
nail cutters, brushes, etc. The first team back with all the
items wins a prize.
Musical Gift
Every girl seats in a circle. Start one person off with a
gift that is wrapped with many layers (about 10). Play
music: Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape" is perfect for this
theme. When the music stops the person who has the gift in
their hand gets to unwrap a layer. This goes on till the last
layer is unwrapped, the person who unwraps it wins! The
prize might be a cute frame that had a girls shopping theme
on it.
Make Your Own Bath Salt
Sea salt
Scented bath oil
Food Coloring
Jars (baby food jars would work well, perfect size)
Ribbon (optional)
Tiny artificial rose buds (optional)
Have the girls mix the sea salt and bath oil in jars. Add a
drop or two of food coloring. Put the lid on the jar and tie
a pretty ribbon in a bow around the jar. Hot glue a rose to
center of bow.
Spa Snacks
When it comes to food, partygoers are usually perfectly
content to eat pizza or hotdogs, which is certainly much
easier on the hosts! However, if you have the time and would
like to serve some fancier, spa-appropriate treats, consider
these ideas:
Finger Sandwiches - Make several Peanut butter and
jelly and raspberry cream cheese sandwiches and jelly
sandwiches on soft, white bread. Cut the crust off of each
sandwich, and then cut the sandwiches diagonally to create
triangles. To dress them up a little bit more, stick a
decorative toothpick in each sandwich, and stack them on a
fancy silver or ceramic platter.
Served Apple Cider or Pudding parfaits in plastic
champagne glasses.
Petit Fours - Purchase a selection of petit fours
from a local French bakery, these tiny treats are a dainty
addition to any party.
Beauty Mask Cake - Bake a round cake. Ice it completely with
a white, light yellow or tan base frosting (this will be the
"skin" of the face), and then use a different color frosting
or red licorice string to add lips and a nose. For the eyes,
you can use green frosting to draw cucumber slices, or you
can place actual cucumber slices on the cake—just be sure to
take them off before serving! Draw eyebrows over the
cucumbers using brown or black frosting, or black licorice
string. To add "skin cream," sprinkle powdered sugar all
around the face and forehead, outlining the facial features
(e.g. lips, nose, eyes, etc.
