Planning to throw a spa party? Then here’s what you need to do:

1. Send Invitations a Week or More In Advance

You can make your own invitations, tell them by email, or you can phone your guests. Ask them if they can come, giving them at least two days notice. Then tell them where to go, when it is, what to bring, the time, and your theme. Source: WikiHow

2. Setup Some Decorations

A few simple touches can turn any place into a spa retreat. How you decorate for your spa party depends on the type of indulgence fest you plan to have: a manicure party, pedicure party, makeover party, facials party, massage party — the choices are endless.

In addition to the particular items you need for throwing one of these parties, you’ll want to establish a tranquil spa-like vibe with green plants, fragrant flowers like lilies and roses, stacks of fluffy white towels and bowls of fresh fruit.

Put out lots of soft pillows and blankets as well as magazines so guests can really feel like they’ve gotten away from it all. To soothe and satisfy all of your senses, plug in a small electronic waterfall and ditch the lights in favor of candles scented with lavender or eucalyptus. Source: Evite

3. Prepare Foods and Refreshments

Food and drinks are another important element to a great spa party. Keep the food light and fresh, and the drinks indulgent. Set out a few trays of fresh fruit, along with raw veggies and dip for snacking. Add some dainty finger sandwiches and colorful cocktails, and you and your girlfriends are good to go! Source: She Knows

4. Setup a Facial Fixings Section

Transform your kitchen, dining room, or living room into your facial fixings section, where your guests can mix their own treatments. Make sure that bathroom and kitchen sinks are close by and prepared for cleansing and rinsing. Source: CBN

5. Fizzing Foot Soak: Mix together 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup citric acid, and 10 to 20 drops of your favorite fragrance oil. Store dry in a plastic bag (do not use a sealable container, as the mixture produces gas!). Use one scoop of powder per tubful of warm water. Source: Parents

Now that you have read these tips, it’s time to get some guests over and start a spa party at your home.
