The first thing I did was set the mood with these cute invitations. These are sleep masks that I made by printing the details on white card stock, then cutting them out & gluing them to a piece of pretty scrapbook paper. I outlined the front with blue ribbon. I made each girl's name on a Cricut & added a flower & gem detail (also made on a Cricut). If you don't have a Cricut, this step is not necessary. You don't need it to make the main body of the invite. Finally, I punched holes to the sides & added blue ribbon ties. I think they turned out really cute!
I packaged the invites in a cello bag & added a set of cute toe spacers. I sealed the bag with a glue dot & another Cricut made flower, but you can use stickers if you like.
The girls were greeted by a welcome sign & fresh scented candle. The sign was just letters cut on a Cricut & glued to a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper. I propped it on a large plate stand in my entry.
There was a table set with personalized goody bags & spa water. The goody bags were filled with nail polish, lip gloss & a loofah. The girls made crafts at the party to add to the bags.
The spa water is simply mini bottles of water wrapped with colorful duct tape.
The first activity was a table set with a bucket of white flip flops & a basket of ribbon cut to 6" lengths. The girls made their own spa sandals by tying the ribbon to the flip flops.
Didn't they turn out pretty?
Next, the girls were treated to facials & manicures.
The facial basket was filled with face mask, hair towels (which went into the goody bags at the end of the party), a spray bottle of water & cotton pads for cleaning. There was also a sheet of face jewels for them to apply after their facials.
The nail bucket had polish, files, lotion, cuticle sticks, polish remover & cotton pads.
After facials, the girls moved to the kitchen where they made their own Peppermint Candy Sugar Scrub, Rosemary Lavender Bath Salts & Lavender Green Tea Facial Toner. All of the recipes are readily available on the Internet. I got mine from Pinterest. I bought the 8 oz mason jars at the groccery store for $8 a dozen. I laid out baskets with precut material for the jar tops & homemade tags to tie around the jars.
Here's the dipped marshmallows I made. The base that they are in is styrofoam outlined with the same duct tape as the water bottles. I wrapped plain candy sticks with Washi Tape to make them colorful. There are strawberry & plain marshmallows dipped in blue & yellow candy melts & covered with sugar sprinkles.
I LOVE how my face maks cheese ball turned out! Again, Pinterest!
My daughter is not a cake eater, but she loves cupcakes, so I made 2 dozen & set them out with jars of frosting & a tray of candy so each girl could decorate her own. The cups are plastic shot glasses from Walmart!
That's about it! I hope I've inspired you to explore your inner Diva!
This is so cute. Do you have a template for the Mask. My niece is doing this kinda party and we are looking for a invite like this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheryl...I downloaded the template here: http://onecharmingparty.com/wordpress/wp-content/pdf-downloads/ocp_spa_party.pdf
ReplyDeletePlease note that since it is a .pdf, I had to copy it as an image to Word so that I could edit it using text boxes to cover up the stuff I wanted to change. You can print directly onto the back side of printed cardstock, but I used white cardstock, then cut a matching piece of printed cardstock, glued the two together, then outlined in rick rack. This made the invitation sturdier. Enjoy!
