Answer 2

Wow, it sounds like you are having a really fun party, and I wish I was invited! lol. I've wanted to host a spa party of my own and here are some ideas I had for when I plan on doing mine. You are more than welcome to borrow them! =)

I will have:
- foot massager
- bin of water to soak hands in
- moisterizer
- massage oil
- Relaxing music, such as a CD with sounds of nature, or yoga music
- Nail polish (if you want, I wouldn't have this)

I am planning on doing mine in my living room. I would light a nice scented candle in the middle of the coffee table, and purhaps also surrounding the room. I have a light dimmer, so just to set a relaxing mood, make the room a bit dim. Play the music while we are getting "spa-ed." In terms of food, I think you should just have finger foods. Maybe cut up some fruits (strawberries, pineapples, apples, pears and such) and if you have a fondue set, put melted chocolate in it. You can dip your fruits in it. You can also buy a box of truffle chocolates for you and your friends to much on. For drinks, you can make punch out of sprite and strawberry juice, just mix it. Since you are having a "girls night spa party," just to keep to the theme, rent a chick flick. Maybe something along the lines of a romance or teen drama. Have fun, I am excited just hearing about the party! =)

Answer 3

To make a room like spa-like, use clean colours like blue, white, green... anything calming and simple. Most spas try to create a relaxing environment by having candles, ambient music and incense. Here are a few ideas:

-Try setting up small tables and grouping one-colour candles of varying heights on them.
-Place a few large glass bowls filled with beauty products around the room.
-Serve 'spa food' like fruit slices, tea sandwiches, salads and petite fours.
-Have towels in nicely folded piles and tied with a ribbon on tables for each guest.
-Have lots of nail polish, face masks, beauty tools, and makeup set up for guests to use.
-Set up several chairs so the guests have somewhere comfortable to sit during the party.
-Have some mirrors around, spas always have a few.
-Play any movies that you and your friends love to watch together or movies like 'Legally Blonde' and 'Clueless'.
-If you're old enough to drink, try serving really girly-themed drinks like pink berry martinis.
-If you're not old enough to drink, make faux martinis and serve a mix of fruit juices and club soda in martini glasses with cherries and strawberry slices at the bottom of the glass.
