Mckenzie's Spa Party Rocks!


It was four months before my step daughters 12th birthday and her dad and I were undecided what we wanted to do for her. After some searching I came across a great idea a SPA PARTY!
After searching for ideas I settled on a theme that I saw on Pinterest through The Tomkat Studio {REAL PARTIES} SOPHIE’S FABULOUS SPA BIRTHDAY PARTY! The site had plenty of pictures to base the party off of and I tried my best to find the items I needed.
Invitations, cupcake toppers, happy birthday banner, fancy labels, and misc. labels were all part of a package I bought on Etsy called Spa Party Full Printable Party Collection by The TomKat Studio. I just emailed the details and a customized electronic file was created
Here is what was included:
 

 I prepared my entry way into the party with embroidered robes purchased from robemart.com and flip flops purchased from Old Navy so the girls could suit up upon arrival. They decorated the flip flops once they sat down using cut up ribbon which they double knotted around the straps of the flip flop.
 
Here is a picture of one set of flip flops so you have an idea
 

I tried to set the mood and hung some opalescent tablecloths purchased from Party City from the archway to mimic curtains and set up a small entry table that included a framed welcome to Mckenzie’s spa printable, a vase of flowers, a candle, and a few jars of bath salts. The bath salt display I made by using small mason jars, striped cardstock to add to the lid, and two different color bath salts that had the scent of cotton candy and blueberry. The bath salts were purchased from Etsy through GigiSoapShop,4oz Dead Sea & Epsom Bath Salt – Blueberry Crumble, & LaDolceVitaBathNBody, Pink Cotton Candy – Try Me Foaming Bath Salts, I combined the salts in layer form and added a white ribbon to top the look off.
 
 
 
  
Our formal dining room was the location for food, drink, and sweets. We lined the wall with another opalescent tablecloth and hung the Happy Birthday banner which was part of the spa printable. On the table I created a candy bar which were jars adorned with pink ribbon and fancy labels another item that was part of the spa printable. I labeled the jars cucumber pads which were originally supposed to have green apple gummy rings but I could not find them in stores so I settled on mint M&M’s, nail files which were vanilla wafer cookies, bubble bath which were gumballs, powder puffs which were cotton candy, and lipsticks which were pink bubble gum flavored candy sticks. Next I purchased some small milk bottles from Esty at marionsvintagebakety and labeled them spa potion no. 9, the labels I purchased at Walmart and customized them at home. I added blue and white paper straws purchased from Michael’s and paper cut out lips purchased at Walmart. For the signature drink I decided to make a cotton candy drink so I added cotton candy and sprite to the bottles and from what the girls tell me they were delicious. The sleep mask cookies were purchased from Etsy at Sugarmamabykim spa themed decorated sugar cookies with a customized message to “RELAX”. The cupcake display was bought at Party City and the toppers for the cupcakes I made by using images included in the spa printable I just had to hot glue two together and placed a stake in the middle. The cupcakes and roses were purchased at Publix. I purchases two dozen pink roses pulled the leaves off and cut the stems down to fit three medium mason jars.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The table setting was put together using a rectangle plate purchased from Burlington department store which held the soap cupcakes purchased on Etsy LoveLeeSoaps Jumbo Cotton Candy Cupcake Soap, a small upright mirror  from the Dollar Store, a face towel from Target that I created the flower embellishment, a personalized bowl purchased from Etsy Magnoliacreativeco Spa Party Soap Dish as seen in The TomKat Studio, Brush & shower Puff from the Dollar Tree,Mud Mask from Beauty Land Coture, Head Band from Sutra Yoga,Flat Wooden Sticks to apply mask from the Dollar Store, and rock candy soap purchased from Etsy Ajsweetsoap Rock Candy Soap - Cotton Candy. The thank you gifts were also at this table which included nail polish in the two main colors of the party pink and blue adorned with a label and ribbon.
 
 
And some close ups:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To the side I had a nail polish station where they were able to view and pick the colors they wanted during their manicure and pedicure.
 

The pedicure station I set up four folding chairs with a white towel draped over the back. I placed four white bins purchased from the Dollar Tree on the floor in front of the chairs for the girls feet to go in, inside I had 4 blue towels I rolled up and wrapped with white tool adorned with another label from electronic file purchased from Etsy from Spa Party Full Printable Party Collection by The TomKat Studio. I had a small container to the side which had the bath bomb from the Dollar Tree and a nail set that included toe separators, nail clipper, nail file, and cuticle stick purchased from the Dollar Store

 

 
 

The girls got to take almost everything you see in the pictures home for their goody bags including:
 
Cupcake soaps, nail file, shower puff, full size towel, face towel, hair tie, head band, bath salt, rock candy soap, nail polish (2), foot soak bin, milk bottle, extra cookies, hair brush, flip flops, robe, personalized dish, upright mirror.
