Spa birthday invitations
Give her the royal treatment and open your own "Ooh, La-La Day Spa" for an ultra
girlie birthday she'll remember for years to come, and here are some ideas to
accentuate the theme:
- Appointment card invitations! Dahling you can pamper the pals with an
appointment card invitation. A kids spa birthday will seem more real with
business cards and you can order free business cards from VistaPrint, pictured
left. (You pay only the shipping.) Include the cards in your scrapbook and with
the thank yous.
- Salon promotional invitations. Create your own labels for travel size shampoo
with your beauty salon logo and the invitation information, and hand deliver
them to your spa party patrons. Want mail invitations? Put your party
information on bath salt envelopes instead.
- The Slip-her invitation. Your spa themed sleep-over party for the girls will be
super cute when you cut your own slipper-shaped invitation from pink
construction paper. It's easy to add a fuzzy marabou style ribbon and accent
with a pretty pom-pom. You can also buy the whole gang real slippers, upper

Now that's ho you slip-her an invitation!

Setting the Scene for a spa day party
The party decor is particularly pink with white for a spa day party. Fill bowls with
floating candles and flowers. For the bathrooms, you can fill the tub and decorate it
with rose petal sprinkles for your spa guests to discover. Here are more ideas for
setting the scene for a spa day party for kids:
- Create a reception room. As party goers arrive, have each girl check in at the
"front desk." An adult or teen can man a desk at the entrance. Decorate with a
vase of pretty flowers, have a phone and an appointment book handy as props
and the business cards you ordered for free. Set up chairs and a low table filled
with teen magazines. Ask the party patron whether she has an appointment,
then offer her a beverage choice and allow her to change into a robe behind a
curtain or in the bathroom. The girls will feel instantly grown up and pampered
with this special touch.
- Decorate your American Doll. You'll find a doll sized Day at the Spa themed set on
Etsy.com. Set it out for decoration.
- Get an "Ahh" for your spa cake! This simple spa party cake makes use of a towel
as part of the cake design.
Spa Party Activities
The eyes have it for a spa party. Start by serving a refreshing spa drink with a pretty
parasol skewered with fresh fruit. Then pile on the veggies (cucumbers that is). Kids
will love the cool refreshing cucumber eyes. While you can take the kids for a
professional manicure or pedicure, it's so easy to give the kids a spa day at home by
hiring a manicurist to come to the party. Or do it yourself: all it takes is the proper
tools. Here are more ways to create a spa at home:
- The Wild Science Beauty Salon kit, left, includes more than 12 activities and
experiments with bubbles and scents. Create crystal potpourri, soap volcanoes,
sublime slime, instant fizz and much more. It's not just a fun beauty salon
activity, but kids will learn about the structure and changes of properties of
matter, mixtures and solutions and chemical reactions. Ages 10 and up.
- Make a production of it. The Spa Factory, pictured left, features two essential oils
and all you need for lip blends, perfume sensations and sugar body scrub for
three girls. Plus, there's perfume gift bottles, body gift jars, and lip gloss gift jars
so each girl can take her custom creation home. The set also includes recipe
cards, spoon whisk, funnel, pipette, and the fold-up, party box with storage
drawers and carrying handle.
- Nail it with nail art. You'll have a terrific time with "Toe-rrifc: A Simple Guide To
Creating Healthy And Beautiful Feet," right. Paint toe nails using Toe-rrific. Klutz
nail art includes six water-based, non-toxic, peel-off paints and easy instructions
to paint bumblebees, berries, butterflies, bears, and even baseballs on fingers
and toes.
- Important safety reminders about a spa party for kids:
- Don't be a jet setter. If your spa treatment involves a hot tub, turn off the
jets for safety. Also, require girls to wear their hair up, do not allow
anyone to submerge their head, and be sure to supervise the activity
closely.
- Be foot loose and fungus free! Keep pedicure and manicure equipment
hygienic. Don't allow girls to share nail clips, nail files and other
equipment. Provide individual bowls for soaking. Give each girl her own
nail polish.
- Don't burn out. Never leave candles unattended or near curtains.
Spa party foods
After spa treatment, treat the kids to a spa lunch. Surprise the kids with more frilly
treatment. Wrap a pink boa on each chair. It provides a luxe touch (especially if you
transform the girls from their spa facial headbands to the boas).
Wondering what to serve at your SPA-go? Set out a variety of spa food selections to
include menu items on the lighter side, and:
- Cut cream cheese sandwiches with cookie cutters from alternating white and
white bread. Star and flower shapes work well. Add a few cucumber slices to
give the
- Revive them by freezing strawberry yogurt sticks, which gives new life to an old
favorite.
- For a spa cake, try angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries.
- Wedge of lime on the glass with pink lemonade and a cherry on top.
- Watermelon triangle in a clear glass with limeade spritzer
- pink parfait
- pink milk (grenadine with milk)
- Spa Princess Fondue. Any kind of chocolate fondue will do for your spa
princesses. For dippers, try angel food cake chunks, Madeleine cookies, pretzel
rods, banana slices, strawberries, marshmallows and vanilla wafers.
Spa party favors
For party favors, let them keep their spa facial headbands or pink spa masks, flip flops
or slippers or if you've splurged, the robes. The pretty organza Ooh-la-La favor bag is
ideal for a spa party, stuff it with these ideas:
- Manicure pedicure kit: Create your own manicure pedicure kit for kids to include
nail polish that sparkles, a pretty nail file, funny toe separators, plus travel lotion
with your custom information on the label.
- Pretty potions & lotions. Create your own labels for lip gloss and hand lotions.
Include pretty soaps and bubble bath salts.
- Duck out easily. Collect spa rubber duckies, right, three or four for each guest.

Spa Birthday Party
How to set up shop for a soothing spa day party
Make her birthday SPA-cial indeed: set up shop for a spa day party. Relax, you can
host a spa party at home, and save on the hotel bill. If you have a pool, all the better,
because you can throw a spa pool party. Here's how to throw a memorable spa
themed birthday party:
- Cast a relaxing spell of pink. As kids spa parties go, nothing is more important
than pink! A pink spa day birthday cake is in order, as is pink party food, such
as pink meringues, pink parfaits and pink lemonade. Tickle them pink. Transform
the party space by draping pink sheets on the furniture. Set the table with pink
peonies, and light pink candles. Everyone looks pretty in pink.
- Slip in to something more comfortable. Provide robes, a facial headband, slippers
or flip flops, so that your spa party patrons will immediately feel welcome to
your relaxing setting. See our flip flop party ideas. The spa party packs, right,
will help establish a salon atmosphere for your party.
- Pamper her like a princess! The Spa Princess Cookbook, left, reveals recipes for
sensational spa treatments and delicious edible treats for your party. Soak the
birthday girl in a milk chocolate milk bath. Show the girls how to scrub their feet
with Pink Peppermint Foot Glow, or give them a Peachy Keen Princess Smoothie
to sip. The Spa Princess Cookbook will get you cooking on more wonderful
ideas for a spa birthday party. It will be invaluable for homemade soaps,
facials, lotions, sugar scrubs for your next spa-themed sleepover.
- Send the girls on a vacation from themselves. Inhale then exfoliate: do so by
setting a relaxing scene of ocean waves, and inhale the fragrance of essential
oils, such as vanilla lavender. Inner Splendor Media is proud to present Music
for Deep Meditation. Help body and mind relax with the Healing Power of Ocean
Waves & Tibetan Singing Bowls audio, left. Accompany this soothing music with
a simple yoga lesson.
- Make it a girls night in! This party is ideal for a sleepover, though you may
encounter some parental resistance, particularly if they aren't personal friends.
Broach the topic with parents before arranging an over night party to ensure
you can accommodate everyone on your daughter's guest list.
