Emilia Anne Spa Party

Emilia Anne Spa Party Ideas:

First, set up stations in your parents' master bathroom or in the largest bathroom in your home (if allowed). Then, find some young teens that you know (babysitters, church members, neighbors, sisters, cousins) and ask them to "work" at each station.

Set up a station for manicures, pedicures, and massages. Then, put your guests into groups and plan for 45 minutes at each station.

As guests arrive let them help you create a play list on your mp3, ipod, computer, etc.

Try to have at least two people at each station because depending on the number of guests you have it will be hard for one person to give an entire group of girls a pedicure, manicure, or massage.

During the spa party you don't want your guests to be bored so stock each station with new updated magazines. You can find them at Walmart for a dollar a piece.

At the nail stations make sure to have a variety of colors. Also at the nail stations get a lemon or lime and mix the juice with 1 cup of warm milk. Tell your guests to dip their nails into the mixture. This works well for both fingernails and toenails.

If you want you can also set up a station for facials. If you do, mash 3 bananas with 1 1/2 tablespoons honey. Make sure you don't have any large chunks of banana. Do this before your spa party, and store in the refrigerator until spa time.

Another thing to have out at the party is a basket of pony tail holders and headbands.

When facial time comes put out the banana-mash mask and some cucumbers. If possible get some chairs that you and your guests can lay on while you have your facial, or just cover the couches and chairs with some towels and voila.

The best food for a spa party is chocolate fondue. Get a couple packages of fresh strawberries, pretzels, and assorted fruits. Leave the fondue-ing to your guests.

Also get a big bucket and fill with lots of ice. Then fill with an assortment of drinks.

Take a vote on what your guests want to eat for dinner if your spa party is also a sleepover.

A cool way to serve drinks is to get some plastic wine glasses and write your guests names on them with sparkly pens.

No party is complete without a movie. If you don't have a movie room make one. Turn off all the lights, tell people to turn off their cells, close the blinds and pop a couple of bowls of popcorn. Also make sure that every guest gets their choice of drink.

One fun traditional party game is the lottery. As each guest arrives write their name down and put it in a purse. Every now and then draw a name from the purse and that person wins a spa package, towel, box a nail polish, or gift card to a nail place or something. Try to make sure everyone gets a item.

Another game is the relaxation station. Get the girls in a circle and get them to massage each other.

Last but not least serve an assortment of breakfast foods, like pancakes, french toast, etc.

Another fun treat is a good old fashioned smoothie.

The party favors are really easy. You can call it a pamper pack. In each put small things like a bottle of lotion, a mini hair brush, 2 bottles of nail polish, a cute nail clipper, a nail file and maybe some makeup. Give each guest their pamper pack as they leave. You want the guest to be surprised when they get it.
