Spa birthday party?
get a nice fluffy pink bathrobe for each girl to wear and keep (they sell them for like 10 dollars at bath and body works) get a few colors of nail polish and paint each girl%26#039;s toes. get a little tub with bath crystals in the water to soak everybody%26#039;s feet in. get different color face masks to put on the girl%26#039;s faces and cucumber slices for the girl%26#039;s eyes. then after that have a party... GET UP AND DANCE TO JUMOY MUSIC, LIKE HANNAH MONTANA! then have a dinner, like chicken fingers and things like that, and after a cake, wit decorations on it, like spa things! hope she has a fun time!

Reply:I assume you%26#039;re going to do this at home, so I%26#039;ll give suggestions of what you can do on a budget.





Decoration - clear the room except for a couple of couches, pillows, air mattresses/blankets on the floor, and a station for your spa supplies.


- Mirrors - buy a few cheap full length ones from Walmart. I got one for $8


- Candles for lighting


- Flowers in vases, either greenery collected outside, a couple of grocery store bouquets, or plastic, from the dollar shop


- Relaxing music


- Lots of clean towels and soap in the corner, with a sink somewhere nearby.


- Ask the girls to bring robes and slippers.





Spa activities:


- Face masques -


%26gt; Mix up your own clay masque with some water, aloe vera gel, and a few handfuls of 100% NATURAL CLAY kitty litter, or by pureeing a banana, a cup of yogurt, and a half-cup of honey - this is MUCH cheaper for such a large group.


%26gt; Let the girls put the masques on themselves, and sit or lie around chatting while the nutrients soak in. You could get them to wear cucumber slices on their eyes, but the girls might get a little bored - your choice.


%26gt; Have facial wipes around so they can clean their faces afterward.





- Manicures -


%26gt; Buy some plastic dishes at the dollar shop, and fill them with warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid for the girls to soak their hands in (cleans the nails). Also buy nail buffers for each girl there, or alternatively, buy one nail buffer and clean it thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol between uses.


%26gt; After each girl soaks her hands for 5 minutes, wipe down the nails with a brush or a rough washcloth. Buff the nails, and dry.


%26gt; Let the girl choose from 4 or 5 nail polish colours, then wait to dry, then use a topcoat.





- Aromatherapy massage -


%26gt; Buy a bottle of aromatherapy oil. Read a book on aromatherapy hand/wrist or face massage.


%26gt; Give the girls a lesson on how to do the relaxing massage. They can either give it to themselves, or they can give it to each other if they%26#039;re comfortable with that.





If you know someone with a massaging chair-cover, borrow that, and let the girls take turns using it.





Refreshments - stick with light foods, not too strong smelling, the kind of foods that focus on health and feeling good.


- Fill a pitcher with soda water or clear lemon soda, lime slices, mint leaves and ice - serve in clear glasses.


- Serve skewers of fresh fruit, with chocolate dip if you want.


- Cocktail sandwiches, like cucumber sandwiches or sliced turkey, or more kid-friendly sandwiches like nut butters with banana or jam or nutella. Cut the crusts off and arrange artfully.


- Tiny bowls of nuts, or larger bowls of air-popped popcorn.


- Raw veggies with dip.


- Veggie, cheese, or chicken pizza sliced into small squares.


- Baked pita or corn chips with guacamole, salsa, hummus, or other dips.
Reply:sounds like a nice party to me
Reply:Awe! You are the perfect big sis. The first thing is to get a list of names for the b-day party. Even though your sister is 12, make sure you tell her only the girls on the list will participate. I%26#039;m not sure how much $ you have, but this will give you a clear picture as to how much $ you have to spend. Make sure you contact ALL the parents. Even though a spa sounds innocent, maybe a parent has told her child she can%26#039;t have polish til she%26#039;s 13, then you will have a problem on your hand. After you contact the parents and know what you CAN do, then visit a local spa. Most of them have group specials, and will even decorate a room especially for your party. Please visit the spa before you take the girls and let the employees know what the girls can have. If you are organized they will lay back and enjoy. If you let the employees offer addt%26#039;l services, the girls will accept them all. To make it easy, you should tell the staff to give them all french manicures! Don%26#039;t forget to FEED THEM FIRST! Most spas will also offer %26quot;lunch specials%26quot; which are expensive and will not fill them up. HAVE FUN:)
