There’s nothing like a day at the spa to rejuvenate yourself, but why break the bank when you can be made to feel like a queen right in your very own home? An At Home Spa Party is a great way to enjoy a complete spa treatment with your best friends without feeling guilty about how much you’re spending on yourselves!
* Bring In A Professional! There are plenty of mobile spa specialists that can be hired to come to your home, but if you’re on a tight budget, check out your local nail salon and ask if they would make house calls. You can also go to a cosmetology or massage school and ask for recommendations on their best students or soon-to-be graduates (they’ll charge far less than what you’d normally find). For a more intimate (and free!) setting, guests can partner up and take turns on each other.
* Set The Mood! Burn incense or aroma candles to invigorate all the senses.
* Beautify On The Inside. Offer healthy snacks like cut fruit, veggie plates, and salads. For your sweet tooth, create a delightful frozen yogurt table where people can add their own toppings!
* Signature Drinks. For a day party, go for energy eye-openers like fruit smoothies, organic juices, or revitalizing teas with fun themed names like “Pampered in Pink” or “Beauty Bliss.” Be sure to offer ice cold pitchers of flavored water that you can flavor yourself, using cucumbers, mangos, citrus – get creative!
* Share Beauty Secrets. Have everyone bring their favorite homemade beauty product (from facemasks to body scrubs) and let guests vote on the best one! Make sure everyone brings their recipes to share. Guests can also bring different colored nail polishes and accents for the most creative nail painting contest! The winners receive a gift certificate to a hair salon or local health food store.
* Personalize Swag Bags for each guest with travel pouches filled with spa tools for the party and at home. Choose from toe separators, footstones, foot paddles, lotions, bath scrubs, and fun nail polish colors (all of these can be found at the 99 cent store). You can also buy some pretty glass jars to put the homemade beauty recipes in.
Great idea for a bridal shower party!
