How to Host a Spa Themed Party
Hosting a spa-themed party is a perfect way to treat your friends to a day of relaxation, pampering, and bonding. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, bridal shower, or just want to unwind with your closest friends, a spa-themed party can turn your home into a luxurious retreat.
I also strongly believe this to be one of the absolute best themes for a chilled 18th birthday party.
In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to host a fabulous Spa themed party, from setting the mood to planning treatments and more.
1. Setting the Mood for Your Spa Themed Party
Creating a Relaxing Atmosphere
The key to a successful Spa themed party is creating a serene and relaxing environment. Truthly having a Spa themed party won’t be to dissimilar to having a spa date night.
The decorations and vibes are basically the same.
Start by choosing a space in your home that can be transformed into a peaceful sanctuary.
You can use your living room, backyard, or even your bathroom, depending on the number of guests and the activities you have planned.
To set the mood, dim the lights or use soft lighting like candles or fairy lights. Play calming music in the background, and consider using a white noise machine or a fountain to add the soothing sound of running water.
Here’s a few of my favorite picks for getting that spa feeling started;
Aromatherapy Diffuser
Tabletop Water Fountain
Preparing the Space
Before your guests arrive, make sure your space is clean, clutter-free, and ready for pampering.
Set up comfortable seating areas with plenty of pillows and blankets.
Provide soft towels, robes, and slippers for each guest to change into upon arrival. You can also set up small stations with mirrors, cotton balls, and other spa essentials.
2. Planning the Spa Treatments
DIY Spa Treatments
One of the best parts of hosting a Spa themed party is that you can customize the treatments to suit your guests' preferences.
You can create DIY stations for facials, manicures, pedicures, and more. Set up a table with a variety of face masks or make your own face masks, scrubs, and lotions, and let your guests choose their favorite products.
Here are a few of my favorite spa party picks. Not all are essential so just pick the ones you personally like the most;
Professional Treatments
If you want to take your Spa themed party to the next level, consider hiring a professional massage therapist, manicurist, or esthetician to provide treatments.
This can be a great way to make your party feel extra special, and it allows your guests to enjoy treatments they might not typically indulge in.
3. Pampering with Food and Drinks
Light and Healthy Snacks
No Spa themed party is complete without a selection of light and healthy snacks.
Think fresh fruit platters, cucumber sandwiches, and vegetable crudités with hummus. You can also offer small bites like sushi, cheese, and crackers, or yogurt parfaits.
You could even kickstart the party by having everyone make there own sushi.
Refreshing Beverages
Keep your guests hydrated with a selection of refreshing beverages.
Offer infused water with cucumber, lemon, or mint, as well as herbal teas and smoothies. For a fun twist, you could also serve sparkling wine or champagne for a touch of elegance.
These low calorie cocktails work perfect for spa days. Not because there fitness friendly but because they’re light.
4. Entertainment and Activities
Relaxing Activities
While the main focus of your Spa themed party will be on relaxation, it's also nice to offer a few activities that allow your guests to unwind even further.
Consider setting up a meditation or yoga session, or offering a guided breathing exercise. You could also create a small library of wellness books and magazines for guests to browse through.
Personally I like yoga with Adriene. She posts follow along videos on YouTube which are perfect for Spa days.
Crafting and DIY Projects
Another great activity for a Spa themed party is to offer a crafting or DIY project.
This could be something as simple as creating your own bath salts or sugar scrubs, or even making personalized candles or lip balms. This adds a creative element to your party and gives your guests something to take home as a memento.
Check out this recipe for homemade bath bombs. They’re relatively easy to make.
5. Wrapping Up Your Spa Themed Party
Sending Guests Home with Goodie Bags
As your Spa themed party comes to an end, send your guests home with a small goodie bag filled with spa-related items.
Think mini lotions, bath bombs, face masks, or scented candles. You can also include a thank-you note to express your appreciation for their company.
Conclusion
Hosting a Spa themed party is a wonderful way to relax, bond, and pamper yourself and your friends. With the right planning and a few thoughtful touches, you can create an unforgettable experience that everyone will enjoy.
