Beauty Building Bachelorette Party

A Bachelorette Party Theme Party

Nothing makes a woman feel better than a day spent relaxing at the spa with her every whim catered. With so many different body parts vying for attention, it might be difficult to focus on only one area. Our suggestion is to gather together the bachelorette and her closest friends to spend an entire day (better yet, an entire weekend) sampling all of the services that your favorite spa has to offer.

Start with a scalp massage, a facial, and then perhaps a total body herbal wrap. Don't forget those soothing mud baths! If you're feeling adventurous, you might want to go for an all over body massage, and maybe even a manicure and a pedicure. Obviously, this is not the typical bachelorette party, but it still focuses on bringing the bride-to-be and her friends together for one final relaxing "hurrah" while she is still an unmarried woman. We have only one request if you decide to throw a "Beauty Building Bachelorette Party"...can you put our names on the guest list too?

You can have this party at a spa, or invite traveling aestheticians, manicurists, massage therapists and the like to your location for an on-site spa-fest.

Invitations

• Send each guest a sample product from the spa, with a list of services attached to the sample. On the opposite side of the spa brochure, list all of the details of the party (you can use sticky labels).
• Mail each guest a very formal invitation for a day at the spa, (white and blue are nice colors to use for the invitations), and make sure that it is clear who the "guest of honor is."
• If there are very few people coming to the party, or if money is no object, send each guest a white cotton wrap to wear while at the spa (have them monogrammed if you really want to go all out). Accompanying the wrap is a spa brochure, with details of the party on the back.
• Send the guests matching t-shirts with a picture of the bachelorette on the front, and the details of the party on the back. Make sure the picture on the front is a captivating picture of the bride-to-be (whether she is 4 years old or in her current state), with a speech bubble that says, "I'm getting married and, I need to relax! Won't you help me?"
• Put together a small sampling of relaxation products in a pretty bag, tie an invitation on a ribbon to the bag and ask guests to join you for a great time.

• Or use a personalized Bachelorette Party invitation from Creations For You!

Decorations

Ask the spa if you can hang crepe paper in the bride's colors, and maybe a "Congratulations" banner or two. Just realize that they might not agree to this, but when you're relaxing you'll have your eyes closed anyway, and you will hardly even notice. Other decorations might be difficult if you are at a location that is opposed to this. It doesn't hurt to ask, though. If you choose to have this at your own location, create surroundings that are relaxing and pleasant-use soothing music, subdued lighting and create comfortable places to recline.

Everyone will love a custom cutout of the groom in a bathing suit!

Menu

Depending on where you go, the spa service might include hors d'oeuvres like cheese and crackers. Some places serve fruit as well. If the spa includes a restaurant, see if you can order fixed meals for everyone. Some spas will allow you to bring in a catered meal if it is contained and mess-free.

If you have this spa at a home or in a personal setting, choose a menu that is light in nature. Include light snacking type food like veggies and dip, pizza, finger sandwiches, soup, cold meat salads, cold pasta salads and the like. Don't forget desserts. If you are indulging your bodies, you definitely must indulge your palate. Choose cookies, finger desserts, chocolate truffles and other things. Fresh fruit is nice, too.

Activities

Before the party begins, have everyone meet somewhere to get to know each other a little better before the trip to the spa (play the TP Mystery Game below). When you get to the spa, there probably won't be time, or a need for games/activities (besides the services that the spa offers).

TP Mystery Game: As guests arrive, hold out a roll of toilet paper and ask each guest to tear off whatever length of toilet paper they think they'll need. Don't explain what it's for but you might say something like "We're short of TP tonight, and I wanted everyone to have some before we ran out. At some point in the party, gather the guests and measure the bride's bust, hips, leg length, or whatever with the strips of toilet paper. The guest with the closest length of TP, wins.

Party Favors

If you don't use spa products as the invitations, use them as the favors.

Give each person a small gift certificate to the spa as incentive to return (a manicure is just $15 dollars in most places).
