Teen Spa Birthday
The party stylzz this week is..... Spa Birthday for teens! I have been looking at different possibilities for this Tuesdays Blog and kids rooms and parties kept popping up and making me squeal so I figured I would make it a kid week. This could also be a lot of fun for just a girls night or bridal shower.
Marigold, Shocking Pink, and Teal are going to be the color combo. These are also some great nail polishes that can be supplied through Hot Topic.
- Some colored flip flops that can be used so the pedi's are not messed up. (Old Navy)
- Some comfy fluffy white flip flop/ slippers (Old Navy)
- Shaggy pink carpet for floors in bedroom/basement (Overstock)
- Soft resting pillow, good to lay on during facials (Sears)
- Bamboo mat for bathroom floor (Overstock)
- Chocolate covered strawberries, mozzarella and tomatoes, sparkling cider, and individual cakes for food
- Teal and Yellow pillows to throw around the floor, beds, and chairs (Two Pillows)
- Yellow plastic champagne flutes for the sparkling cider (Sears)
- Yellow and Pink carnation or rose pomanders placed on top of the faux leather vase (The Shop)
- Pretty pink lily candle holders (The Shop)
- Different parting gifts of bath and body items (The Shop)
- Gerber Daisy picture, art work to be displayed around the rooms (Overstock)
This can be done anywhere, bedroom, basement, etc... Any room can be transformed but most likely will be the easiest in a bedroom. Pillows are key because there will be a lot of lying around chatting and eating. Teal, Yellow, and Pink pillows (big and small) should transform a bed into a sitting area (mani, pedi, eating, etc..) and a lying area (facials, relaxing, etc..).
A comfy pink carpet should be thrown over the floor, walking on a cloud is what you are going for, that's why the sandal/slippers in #2 will work also.
The walls should hold relaxing artwork of flowers and such. The windows should be covered with a flowy white or lite pink sheer drapes to block outside but allow the sun to shine in. The focal point of the room will be the pomanders of carnations, roses, or tissue paper. There are DIY's all over google to do these. Yellow and Pink pomps resting on top of a dramatic vase such as the one we supply in #9. This can be placed in the middle of the room, in front of a window, or on the side of the bathtub. If you decide to use this in your main room, you can also make extra smaller pomps and let them float in the tub with some candles. Pretty, girly tea lights shall be placed around to give the room a calm ambiance. Battery operated tea lights inside the holders may be a good idea around crazy teenagers :-)
Food is decadent. Chocolate, salad, creamy. So I am going with chocolate covered strawberries, another good idea is a chocolate fondue with random fruits (strawberries, bananas, cherries). For lunch try some tomato and mozzarella salad, its sophisticated but tastes so good, they won't be able to put it down. Some sparkling cider in champagne flutes or martini glass will make the girls feel like they are part of Sex in the City. Individual mini cakes will allow for each girl to feel special, not to mention how girly they feel eating mini pastries.
Since its a spa day certain necessities are required such as; nail polish, bath salts, facial masks, lotion, towels, etc.. Go crazy with accessories! A parting gift would also be highly recommended, a spa gift set something that would remind the girls of the day would work perfectly!
Be imaginative, allow your teen to be bold and pick colors and food that she would really like. Give them the direction and let them run wild with it. Its really surprising what they come up with.
Go get your party on!
