For a celebration that makes you say \u201cAaahhhhh,\u201d you need a <\/span>spa day<\/span>. <\/span>Spa days<\/span> are an ideal way to celebrate lots of life\u2019s big moments \u2014 from <\/span>bachelorette parties<\/span> to bachelor parties and <\/span>baby showers<\/span> to <\/span>bridal showers<\/span>. And a <\/span>spa birthday party<\/span> is one of our favorite ways to celebrate another trip around the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n At a <\/span>spa birthday party<\/span>, the guest of honor can let go of any stress from the past year and take on their next year of life feeling refreshed and ready. Yes, a <\/span>spa day<\/span> is one of the most relaxing ways to spend your day, but planning a <\/span>spa birthday party<\/span> for a big (or small) group can be a little less relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ll help you get through it by sharing tips that make the planning process almost as relaxing as the <\/span>pampering<\/span> process. Here\u2019s how to plan a <\/span>spa birthday party<\/span> from start to finish (or perhaps from start to Finnish sauna).<\/span> There are almost as <\/span>many<\/span> ways to host a <\/span>spa birthday party<\/span> as there are treatments on a spa menu. You can round up your crew and head to a resort-style spa for the ultimate <\/span>pamper party<\/span>, you can hire a cosmetologist to come to your home, or you can do a home <\/span>spa day<\/span> complete with <\/span>DIY<\/span> treatments. Each of these paths requires different prep, so we\u2019ve broken it all down for you.<\/span><\/p>\n There are three basic paths you can take toward <\/span>pampering<\/span>: 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 Once you\u2019ve decided on what kind of <\/span>spa day<\/span> you want to host, it\u2019s time to choose the treatment options.<\/span><\/p>\n Resort-style spa:<\/b> You may be able to get half- or full-day passes that give you <\/span>access<\/span> 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 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 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>facials<\/span> 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 Home spa: <\/b>Most cosmetologists who make house calls provide some combination of <\/span>manicures<\/span>, <\/span>pedicures<\/span>, or <\/span>facials<\/span>. 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 DIY spa:<\/b> If you\u2019re going to <\/span>DIY<\/span> your home spa party, you\u2019ll need to mix up some at-home treatments in advance. For a <\/span>kids party<\/span>, you can also make mixing the treatments one of the party activities. First, they\u2019ll get crafty making their own <\/span>kids spa<\/span> treatments. Then they\u2019ll get to apply the treatments to each other\u2019s faces and hair for an interactive <\/span>girls spa day<\/span> or<\/span> sleepover party activity<\/a><\/strong>. You can find<\/span> DIY face mask<\/a><\/strong> and<\/span> hair mask<\/a><\/strong> recipes to get your home spa off the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n For everything except the <\/span>DIY<\/span> home spa option, you\u2019ll want to book as far in advance as possible. 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 Collect your RSVPs at least a month in advance. If you\u2019re booking at a spa location, ask if they offer <\/span>party packages<\/span>. 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>many<\/span> people they can handle in the time frame, and book multiple cosmetologists if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n Now that you\u2019ve decided on your party details, you\u2019re ready to send out the invites. Opt for digital invitations for stress-free<\/span> party planning<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n With a <\/span>digital invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, you can add your party details and even include a link to the spa\u2019s treatment menu. Then, send it off to your guest\u2019s email or cell phone, and collect RSVPs online. You can also add a survey question where guests can select the treatment options they want, which will make it easier for you to book.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are a few of our favorite digital invites for a <\/span>spa birthday party<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n This relaxing watercolor invite<\/strong><\/span><\/a> puts us in a vacation state-of-mind. It\u2019s the perfect introduction to your soothing birthday soiree.<\/span><\/p>\n This playful invite<\/a><\/strong> highlights two of the best things about <\/span>spa days<\/span> \u2014 <\/span>manis<\/span> and mimosas! Send it out to get your party people ready for some serious <\/span>pampering<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n The tropical design on<\/span> this <\/strong>spa birthday party invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a> has us envisioning an ocean breeze rustling through white spa linens.

Try adding ambiance with these pieces of spa-inspired decor.<\/span><\/p>\n Typical spa fare is light, healthy, and flavorful, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to skip the <\/span>birthday cake<\/span>.
