Answer
Invitations:
Use our Printable Spa Party Invitations or create your own. The invitations look especially beautiful printed on parchment paper. (Parchment paper is available at most office supply stores.) After printing, cut around the edges and fold. Next, print, cut and fold this matching envelope.
Alternatively, you could tie special soaps or candles with raffia or ribbons and
attached a tag inviting your guests. This works well if you have the ability to hand-deliver your invitations or if you don't mind the cost of packaging them properly and mailing them.
Decorations:
Candles! Lots of candles and soft lighting. Candles create a tranquil atmosphere... a cozy, peaceful setting.
Set up small intimate seating areas around tables with beautiful aromatic hand creams, nail polishes and nail grooming tools. Include some small plates of chocolates and candy. Have some soft instrumental music playing.
Also, a great added touch is to provide your guests with bottles of water (in keeping with your decor) at any relaxation station. Try replacing the original labels on bottled water with these Printable Water Bottle Labels. It doesn't take much work to add this special touch to your party. Give one to each of your guests as they arrive and/or have them scattered about the room in pretty baskets.
Food:
Fresh fruit and vegetables trays are perfect for a spa party. Add some delicious creamy or zesty dips for the vegetables and chocolate fondue, whipped yogurt or caramel dips for the fruit.
Cheese trays and shrimp rings are also excellent choices. Make them up yourself or order them from your local deli.
If you're feeling ambitious a few canapes and petite fours would also add to the luxuriousness of your spa party. You can find some great recipes at allrecipes.com
Activities:
For those of you who can afford it, hire a professional or two to come in and do massages, facials, manicures and/or pedicures. Nowadays there are even mobile spas available in a lot of cities.
For those of you on a tighter budget... Have someone you know with experience in essential oils come down and give an interactive teaching and demonstration on making natural beauty products at home. If you don't know someone you may be able to hire someone. Otherwise, do some research at Essential Oil Recipes. They have a great selection of home spa recipes and aromatherapy information.
There are also several homemade spa recipes available
in the free beauty tips ebook you'll receive when signing up for Girl Stuff.
Prepare a short teaching on what you've learned to share with your guests.
Set up a table for your guests to make one or more beauty products and demonstrate step by step how to make the products. (Be sure to test the products beforehand.)
The dollar store has a lot of pretty glass bottles and jars that are perfect for putting homemade massage oils, body lotions, body scrubs or facial masks in (some of them sell for as little as 3 for $1).
One easy, inexpensive body scrub recipe to try requires only three ingredients:
1/8 cup fine sea salt
1/4 cup grapeseed,apricot or almond oil
1-2 drops essential oil of choice
(Adjust the recipe to suit the amount you would like to make)
Store in a cool area.
Instructions:
1. Place salt in a widemouthed jar and cover with grapeseed, apricot, or almond oil. Scent with essential oil. Stir well.
2. To use, dampen your body and vigorously but gently massage the salt and oil mixture into the skin in a circular motion. Be careful to avoid any scratched or wounded areas. Rinse with warm water. Dry with a towel.
Let your guests sample their creations on their hands or let them take turns giving each other a hand scrub, massage and lotion treatment. For instructions on giving a simple hand massage visit Aroma Care.
If you've got the room and the time, try a facial mask recipe and then let your guests put it on, sit back, and relax to soft music and candlelight as they wait for their masks to set.
Be sure to have lots of fresh warm towels on hand and easy access to rinse water. You might want to throw the towels in the dryer while your guests are resting with their masks on.
Note: Lavender essential oil is very soothing and relaxing as well as others. Essential oils are available at health food stores and the price range is quite wide. You may want to pick 1-3 scents in a price range you can afford. Sea salts and grapeseed oil are very affordable.
There are some precautions you need to take with essential oils because they are highly concentrated extracts.
Keep away from eyes.
Never take them internally.
Do not apply them directly to skin (always mix them with a carrier oil like grapeseed, mineral, almond or apricot oil).
Don't increase the amount of essential oil in a given recipe. (Some oils are toxic in large amounts.)
Do not use on pregnant women or children under the age of two.
Keep in mind that ginger, lemon, orange and bergamot essential oils can cause skin irritation if exposed to sun, so don't go out in the sun for 6 hours after using these oils in your recipes.
If you have any questions about essential oils, be sure to do some research and/or talk to a natural health professional.
Prizes:
A great door prize for a spa party would be a gift certificate for a massage, a manicure, a pedicure, a facial or any other beauty treatment. Also, a basket of bath and beauty products is always a good choice.
Favors:
Print a copy of Create a Home Spa on pretty paper. Roll it up (like a diploma) and tie a piece of ribbon or raffia around it. You could also add a beautiful candle and tie them together.
(Note: The Create a Home Spa article mentioned immediately above was written by Julie Hunt - founder of SHE, the foremost inspiration and personal development resource for women who want to live brilliant, happy, successful lives.
Visit her at http://www.shesite.com ------- Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com )
Tie a facecloth and a bar of body soap together with raffia or ribbon.
Get some small pretty jars or sachet bags and fill them with bath beads, bath salts or your own homemade scented epsom salts.
Imagine the scene. You and your friends are together, chatting, laughing, and eating. Itâs a summerâs day in the garden, or a chilly evening around a roaring fire. You're all craving chocolate â that number one desired treat for all girls!
Can you envision it? Luscious fresh fruit, delicious treats, and chocolate! Yes, chocolate. No need to wait for dessert, just have a chocolate fondue fun party. Does this sound like your idea of heaven? Well then, you are about to be transported!
First, you need to know how to create this relaxed gourmet experience.
Do you have to spend hours shopping? No.
Do you have to spend hours cooking? No.
Do you need to quickly brush up on your culinary skills? No.
Do you have to spend hours cleaning up afterwards? Definitely not.
Usually the bowls are wiped very clean!
A chocolate fondue party is perfect for a casual get together, or a girls night in. It's high on fun, and low on the things that make fun hard work.
If you can melt chocolate (place your very favorite edible chocolate in a microwave and heat for 10 seconds at a time), and if you can wash and chop fruit â youâre pretty much on your way. Of course, you'll need a fondue pot or two to keep your creations warm.
Gather, purchase, beg, borrow, or scour your cupboards and refrigerator for...
100g of plain chocolate, chopped
100g white chocolate, chopped
100g milk chocolate, chopped
9 tablespoons double cream
1 tablespoon of Barcardi or Grand Marnier
A small pineapple
2 medium bananas
125g of strawberries
125g cherries
2 medium pears
3 fondue pots
Note: Fruit choices are optional to your tastes. Be sure to wash whatever fruits you use. The ingredients noted above usually make 4â6 servings.
Now for the science!
Place the chocolate in separate bowls; melt either in a microwave or over hot water in a saucepan (in a bowl that fits snugly onto your saucepan and does not touch the hot water below).
Whatever method you choose to melt the chocolate for your chocolate fondue â do be gentle. Chocolate reacts badly to heat. It can easily be scorched, and spoils if it comes into contact with any moisture. So, gently and carefully does it.
Heat the cream in a pan or in the microwave, until boiling hot. Then, add three tablespoons of the hot cream into each of the bowls of chocolate and gently stir. Add the liqueur or Barcardi to the white chocolate mixture and mix again.
Set the fondue bowls over the lowest possible heat setting to keep your creations gently melted. Surround the fondue pots with the washed fruit. Cut the fruit as you need it, and dip it immediately into the rich melted chocolate fondue.
To create an unforgettable atmosphere light some candles, serve the chocolate in your prettiest bowls, and arrange the fruit and treats on plates with style.
While eating chat over âwho can think of the most deliciously different things to dip into the chocolate fondueâ, and the craziest!
You can cut-up and dip almost anything, from cakes and biscuits to exotic fruits. The most essential ingredient, however, is to share the experience with friends. So, dip, chat, laugh, eat and enjoy. Thatâs chocolate fondue fun.
For more chocolate fondue recipes and chocolate fun visit best-chocolate-recipes-online.com and be sure to check out their delicious chocolate drink recipes. They will add that extra bit of zing to your chocolate party.
Mmmmmmmmm... Chocooooooooolate!
Be extra creative and combine your Chocolate Fondue Party with a Home Spa Party. Tie in the theme by making or using some chocolate based spa treatments. How luxurious would that be?
Have each person bring an interesting toe ring and clean feet. Paint each others toenails in all kinds of exotic prints and designs.Then, have a draw to determine who will get each toe ring.
Note: There are so many fun nail design kits and accessories availablethese days. Stencils, jewels, stickers, colourful nail polishes, etc., etc., etc. Let your imaginations go wild.
Tip: You can accessorize your toenails with a lot of different things.These things will stay on longer if you give them a final coat of clear nail polish.
Host a Cooking Class
Decide on a type of dish, ingredient, style of cooking, etc. that you would like to learn something about and then find someone to teach about it at your home. There are several ways to do this. Either hire a professionalor ask a friend who is particularily skilled in an area of cooking. Youcould also book an in home food party like "The Pampered Chef", but that includes selling cooking supplies. Choose what works best for you and then invite your friends over for a cooking class.
Note: I have a friend who makes a lot of quick and easy appetizers with cream cheese. We loved having her teach us how to make these appetizers in a live demonstration. It was even more fun tasting her creations.
