Do you love dreamy delectable chocolate and luxurious treatments? Then this chocolate spa girls night birthday party will knock your socks off. The elements that make this party fabulous satisfy the five senses with the serenity of spas and sensuality of chocolate. You may not even want to wait for your birthday and have this girls night during the upcoming weekend! Here is how to have a delicious Chocolate Spa Girls Night Party.
Invitations
Use a chocolate colored cardstock with a white smaller cardstock centered on top of the chocolate one. Write invite details with either a lavender or chocolate colored pen. Include date, time, theme, address. Inform your girlfriends of items they will need to bring with them such as flip flops, their personal facial moisturizer, comfy clothes or fluffy robe and accessories to hold their hair back. Finish off the invite with a complimentary ribbon tied through two holes in the top.
Chocolate Spa Supplies
~Lot’s of clean wash cloths and towels. Give them that true spa feeling by taking the towel length wise and instead of folding in half, fold into thirds. Then roll them up and stack them on top of each other in a wicker basket.
~Nail files, tweezers, nail clippers, cotton buds and cotton pads. Place them in containers such as stainless steel cups, glass cups or small wicker cups.
~Foot tubs for pedicure soaks. Include a paraffin wax container if you have access to one.
~Nail polish remover, nail polish (be sure to have some chocolate colors), nail buffer and a pumice stone.
~Homemade spa products for soaking salts, scrubs and facials. Recipes follow below.
Ambiance
You want to choose colors that exude the feeling of spas combined with chocolate. Mocha, coffee, cocoa and clean white is your base color. Add accents of lavender and/or mint for a breeze of serene color. Lot’s of chocolate and vanilla scented candles and green leafy plants around the chocolate spa sitting area. Also, have glass or white bowls with mint candies and chocolate bon bons. Have lavender colored plates and chocolate colored napkins on the refreshment table. Use real glasses for beverages. Put a few potted mint plants along the refreshment table and one potted lavender plant in the center. Have a CD of soothing instrumental music or nature sounds or combination of the two playing softly in the background. Fill the air with an essential oil blend that will compliment and enhance the chocolate and vanilla scented candles. Turn off all TVs, computers, phones (or put on vibrate) or anything else that will take away from the blissful atmosphere.
Games/Activities
The main activity of the night is the spa treatments of facials, manicures and pedicures. It’s always nice to have one game to play to get us all in on one conversation. A good game for your crowd is something I like to call “Would you rather…” Now this is a very simple game that doesn’t require any purchase just imaginative comparisons. Here are a few to start you off…
1. Would you rather date Jon Bon Jovi or Jack Black (you can choose any 2 famous guys)?
2. Would you rather go on a shopping spree in Paris or lounge on a beach in the Maldives?
3. Would you rather marry an old millionaire or a young poor stallion?
4. Would you rather win an Oscar or a Grammy?
5. Would you rather give up chocolate or give up men?
