Pamper (Spa) Party
Life's daily stress is often all the motivation needed to want to get out and relax, and there's nothing better to do than have a day at the spa. We often want our closest friends to come along too. The Pamper Party brings both of those wishes together.
Invitations
- Have the invitations made, using soft, pastel, colors, and calligraphy. You want to express relaxation, and indulgence.
- Be creative and make invitations out of relaxing keepsakes, like an eye mask, aromatherapy oils, or a massage ball or roller. Just place party details inside a box with the gift.
Attire
- Guest should bring spa robes and slippers.
Decorations
- If party will be at your home:
- Burn aromatherapy candles and oils (lavender, eucalyptus, and jasmine).
- Play relaxing music like jazz, smooth R&B, classical music, or purchase a relaxation CD of nature sounds, etc.
- Dim lights, and/or place chiffon sheets over the lights. Make sure to choose a soothing color like tan, brown, blue, lavender, mint green, or white. You can cut them from a yard or two of fabric.
- Lay out cots, bean bags, and lots of sitting pillows for guests to relax/sleep on.
- If party will be at a spa:
Activities
- If party will be at your home:
- Hire a masseuse to come to service your guests. You can also arrange for him/her to come based on the number of guests (that have RSVP'd) and set a price of a dollar a minute or more. Or set up that fee as repayment to yourself and pay him/her upfront.
- Also hire a licensed manicurist to give manicures and pedicures. If they provide fills for acrylic nails consider the strong fumes and dust caused from this service.
- Hire esthetician to give facials.
- Make your own scented oils, or perfumes. Purchase various scents and bottles, and let your guests concoct their own creations. Also purchase labels and glitter, gel pens for them to name their scent.
- If party will be at a spa:
- No games/entertainment needed.
Food
- If party will be at your home:
- Delicate, healthy foods:
- Mixed greens salad with walnuts or pecans, strawberries, mango (diced) or mandarin orange slices in it. Serve with vinaigrette.
- Baked chicken with creamer potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms in a garlic, cream and white wine sauce.
- Ambrosia salad.
- Fruit tarts or éclairs.
- Champagne punch.
- Designer cake with an exquisite butter cream frosting or chocolate shell, adorned with berries, and reads a strong feminine statement like, "I am woman!" just for fun.
- If party will be at a spa:
- Purchase a package that includes meals/snacks.
