You can round up your crew and head to a resort-style spa for the ultimate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pamper party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can hire a cosmetologist to come to your home, or you can do a home <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spa day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> complete with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> treatments. Each of these paths requires different prep, so we\u2019ve broken it all down for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Decide on the Venue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three basic paths you can take toward <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pampering<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: visit a spa, bring the spa to you, or make your own spa. Here are the pros and cons of each options.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Visit a spa:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Going to a resort-style spa is one of the most relaxing options, but it can also be expensive and it\u2019s often time-limited (you have to leave at the end of your appointment window). If you choose this route, you\u2019ll need to call multiple spas in your area to find out which treatments they offer, compare prices, and ask how <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> guests they can accommodate at once.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bring the spa to you:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you want something between the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pampering<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of a resort-style spa and the flexibility of an at-home party, you can hire one or more cosmetologists to come to your house and provide <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">facials<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mani<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pedis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This also allows you to combine your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spa theme<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with other relaxing at-home <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">theme parties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pajama party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/sleepover-invitations\">slumber party<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/pool-party-ideas-for-adults\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>pool party<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make your own spa:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the least expensive option, and it can be a lot of fun. But since you\u2019ll be making your own treatments, it also requires the most prep work and cleanup. A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spa day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great addition to a ladies\u2019 night (with plenty of Prosecco), and a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kids\u2019 spa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a fun theme for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">little girl\u2019s birthday party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (with plenty of Shirley Temples).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>2. Choose Your Treatment Menu<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve decided on what kind of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spa day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you want to host, it\u2019s time to choose the treatment options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Resort-style spa:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You may be able to get half- or full-day passes that give you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">access<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to part of the facilities, like the sauna, pool, or hot tub. Then, you can add on any treatments you\u2019d like, which means you can give your guests the option to add one or more treatments of their choice or to stick with the basic day pass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to get prices for each of the treatments so you can share them with your guests. If everyone is doing something different, you\u2019ll need to take note of everyone\u2019s selections before you book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you really want everyone to get the same treatment together, you can choose the package yourself. For example, maybe you want to do the half-day pass, plus <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">facials<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for everyone. In that case, just let all your invited guests know that\u2019s the plan for the day and share how much it will cost so they can make an educated decision before they RSVP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Home spa: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most cosmetologists who make house calls provide some combination of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manicures<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pedicures<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">facials<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Decide which services you want to offer at your party, and if you\u2019re going to ask guests to split the cost, let them know how much you expect it to be per person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>DIY spa:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re going to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your home spa party, you\u2019ll need to mix up some at-home treatments in advance. For a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kids party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can also make mixing the treatments one of the party activities. First, they\u2019ll get crafty making their own <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kids spa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> treatments. Then they\u2019ll get to apply the treatments to each other\u2019s faces and hair for an interactive <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">girls spa day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/slumber-party-ideas\">sleepover party activity<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

While it\u2019s sometimes possible to get spa appointments for up to four people on short notice, if you have more guests than that you\u2019ll likely be out of luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collect your RSVPs at least a month in advance. If you\u2019re booking at a spa location, ask if they offer <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">party packages<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You might be able to get discounts if you bring a big group. And if you\u2019re booking with a cosmetologist who makes house calls, ask how <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> people they can handle in the time frame, and book multiple cosmetologists if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3 <\/b><b>Spa Birthday Party Invitations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve decided on your party details, you\u2019re ready to send out the invites.
