I know this resembles my glitter 'n' glam party" idea I decided that instead of the usual party games I would do a spa party.
My friend went to a real high-class spa for her birthday and I was rather jealous but I decided to throw a home spa party that would be even better! I didn`t do the usual natural flowers fountainsshells etc. I made it like a superstar salon with lots of glitter magenta purple turquoise-blue and gold! The idae was tro turn my house into a spa: Sarah`s spa (real creative name I know LOL). INVITATIONS: To save money I made very simple invitations but you could make them fancier. I wrote the info in swirly black writing on white paper mentioning to bring a washclothhead band and fave CDs. I coated the paper in glitter glue on both sides. I rolled them and secured it them with magenta star garlands. They looked really cute! DECORATIONS: I put a fancy white tablecloth on our dining room table and sprinkled on gold star confetti. I made a center piece from a crystal bowl full of water with hot pink rose petals and pink tea lights. I bought a cool magenta balloon weight at the party store and had them attach a magenta balloon an aqua blue balloon and a Mylar balloon. I placed the balloons on the table aswell. I draped magenta star garlands around the windows. Also I placed candles everywhere for ambience. Food: I dipped marshmallows in chocolate then in pink sugar sprinkles and stuck sparkly party picks in them. These were a hit! I also had a veggie plater with pink ranch dressing (I added red food colouring) and superstar spritzers (1 large bottle ginger-ale 1 small bottle pink lemonade and one small bottle cranberry "cocktail" juice in plastic martini glasses with lemon wedges. CAKE: I bought a Cake at DQ with "Happy 11th B-day party Sarah!" in purple and embellished the cake with pink sugar sprinkles a sparkler and 11 glittery b-day candles. Favours: for favors I bought hot pink paper bags and added the guest`s enitial in rhinestones. I filled the bags with with a nailfile (claire`s) glitter nail polish (claire`s) bath confetti bubbles ($ store) lipgloss (lipsmackers) mini masks (drugstore) nail stickers ($ store)and candy. These were almost all items that they could use for the spa party! ACTIVITIES: Manicures: I set up a manicure table covered with a purple tablecloth. My Mom painted our finger nails then we added glitter polish and nail stickers. While waiting for thier turns the girls could sit in the lounge (living room) and read magazines and snack. Pedicures: We all sat in the lounge and soaked out feet in wash basins full of warm water rose petals and epsom salts for 10 minutes or so then my Mom painted our toe nails. We also did face masks and makeovers (with our lipgloss and eyeshadow). Stores to check out: Claires (for cool favours keep in mind that they have great a deal: all hair accessories/ cosmetics are buy one get one half off!) $ store (for favours although I REALLY DON'T RECOMMEND buying any makeup there I tried that once and it was rancid and was of horrible quality) Drugstores (for favours) Party specialty store (for a huge selection of $0.25 balloons and lots of fabulous decorations and favours) etc. Everyone had a great time!
