If you are trying to achieve a
Day Spa

colored party items
in chartreuse, yellow and white,
make a the perfect color scheme. Or, use the whimsical
spa party
pattern shown above for a playful touch.
Special Touches
Drape the furniture in your room with white sheets or other
matching
fabric. Provide several comfy floor pillows, mirrors, candles (depending
on
age),
white "Christmas" lights and fresh flowers.
THE SPA PARTY BEGINS...
Prepare your spa activities in stations, with a helper at each station;
nails, facials, foot soaks, make-up and hair. To make things less hectic,
limit the activity stations to three.

Be sure to have a fresh washcloth and hand towel for each guest.
Depending on the age of the girls, you may want to include traditional
spa treatments with
face masks with cucumber slices placed on the eyes.
Serve refreshing spa
water; chilled water,
lime and cucumber.
Upon arrival, provide each guest with a lightweight smock/robe and
headband/hair tie, to keep hair away from their face.
Until all of the guests arrive, provide a large sheet of poster board
and markers for the girls to create a giant card for the birthday girl.
Once everyone has arrived, you can divide the girls up to begin the
"spa rotation" moving from station to station. If you are
using face masks, allow the girls to do this all at once. Apply the face
mask, lay into a circle on the floor and place cucumber slices on their
eyes...Ahhh so relaxing!
ADDITIONAL SPA PARTY ACTIVITIES
These make and take projects can be created before, or after the
"spa
activities" and then added to the party favor bags.
Bath Salts:
You'll need:
Epsom Salts (pharmacy)
Soap fragrance drops (craft store)
Soap Dye (craft store)
Zip-loc baggies
Label stickers and markers
Before you mix the salts have the girls design their own label for their
bag. Create an appealing, relaxing name and then decorate the label as well.
Then place 3/4 - 1 cup of Epsom salts into the baggie. Pick a color and
add a
few drops of color and scent. Seal the bag and mix it up.
Body Glitter
You'll need:
Aloe Vera gel
Small travel cosmetic container with a screw top lid
Fine polyester glitter (craft store)
Blank labels and markers
wood craft sticks for stirring
Have the girls design their own label for their container.
Give their body glitter a fun name and decorate the label as well.
Fill the container about 1/2 to 34 full. Sprinkle the glitter into the
aloe gel until the desired effect is achieved. Mix with wooden craft sticks.
Be sure to take plenty of pictures. If it's possible to send a picture home
with each guest, that's always fun. Spa Party Favors
Fill these
fun
spa favor boxes with the bath salts and glitter gel the
girls made.
Add hair clips, nail polish and a hand lotion...what a special way
to say "thanks for coming to my party"! Spa Party Cake
A flower shaped birthday cake is easy to make using brightly frosted
cupcakes. Use orange frosting on the center cupcake.
Then, frost the reaming cupcakes in yellow or white. Place the
cupcakes on a serving plate fashioning a flower with the orange in the
center and the remaining will be your flower petals. Trim the edges of
the plate with fresh peppermint leaves as greenery.
