Step 1: Pick a Theme and Invitations that Set the Mood
Start with the perfect invitation to set the tone for your spa party. Opt for designs that are soothing and fun, reflecting the pampering experience ahead. Websites like Paperless Post, PurpleTrail, Zazzle, Etsy and Evite offer a variety of spa-themed invitations. Choose from digital options for ease of tracking RSVPs or printable designs for a more traditional approach. Use the invite to set the party vibe with color choice and personalized elements. Include a sneak peek spa menu, outlining what treatments party goers can expect on the day, and if you’re planning on making it into a sleepover party, let them know what to bring and time pick up is the next day.

Step 2: Create the Perfect Spa Atmosphere
The ambiance of your pamper party is crucial for setting the tone and ensuring your guests fully relax. Here’s how to turn your space into a tranquil, spa-like retreat:
Lighting: Use soft lighting to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Dim the lights or use battery operated or real candles , accent up lighting or other mood lighting to add a peaceful glow.
Music: Pick a soothing playlist or create your own with soft instrumental music, or let your guests unwind to nature sounds like waterfalls or rain. There are several spa playlists that can be found on Spotify or other favorite streaming app. If you’d prefer to imagine you’re on a beach somewhere, try utilizing a sound machine or sleep sounds app for some tranquil ocean waves. Bonus tip: pair ocean sounds with coconut scents and a tropical fruit-infused water for the ultimate retreat.
Aromatherapy: Diffuse essential oils or scented candles with scents like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus for a calming scent that fills the room. To feel the full effects of this scent, use it like the professionals by placing drops of essential oil into the palms of your hands, then cup your hands over your nose and inhale deeply several times.Also add a few drops to the spa towels in the towel warmer for an extra special touch.
Relaxation Zones: Set up different stations for your pampering treatments, such as a facial area, mani-pedi station, hair styling area, and even a relaxation lounge with pillows, eye masks, and cozy blankets.
You can take the stress out of creating the perfect ambiance with our Pamper Party Packages which include all the elements you need to transform your space into a spa.
Step 3: Pamper Your Guests with Fun and Relaxing Activities

Facials: Set up a station with all the supplies needed for a facial (bowl, towel, facial brush, mask, jade roller and water are some examples). You can purchase luxury face masks or even use it as an activity to do a DIY activity and make your own made from simple ingredients using one of these recipes.
Manicure & Pedicure Stations: Provide non-toxic nail polishes, nail stickers, and fun designs. Consider having glitter or gemstones for a little extra sparkle.
