Getting married is a joyous occasion for every woman.  Planning the wedding can also be a bit stressful and hectic.  For this reason, it is a great idea to plan a spa inspiring bridal shower before the big day.  With a spa bridal shower, the bride-to-be can relax and enjoy the company of a few of her closest family members and best friends in a fun and memorable way.

Get Started with Invitations

To get the mood started off right, look for bridal shower invitations with a spa theme.  Even if the card isn’t specifically for a bridal shower, do your best to find one that refers to the spa theme in some way.  More and more bridal showers are going spa-rific, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find an invitation depicting this theme.  If you do have trouble, however, he might want to consider making your own spa bridal shower invitations.

Be sure to also include a special note that clearly expresses what will be included at the spa bridal shower and whether or not guests should include gifts.  At the same time, try to make the note fun, such as:

    It’s a day to be spoiled

    And be pampered all the way

    With a day at the spa

    Before Tricia’s big day!

We have reserved a room at XYZ solon for 2 pm, Sunday May 1.  Please be sure  to bring $30 for your pedicure and manicure treatment, as well as a spa or beauty  themed present for Tricia.  We will each enjoy a day of pampering as we toast  Tricia’s upcoming nuptials:  RSVP to Cindy or Tanya at 555-1234.

Activity Planning

A great way to start off a spa bridal shower is to first attend a yoga class together.  The class will help get everyone’s mind and body focused and prepared for a day of fun and pampering.  A spa with a steam room or Jacuzzi is another good place to host a spa bridal shower.  That way, everyone can enjoy a break in either the steam room or Jacuzzi (or perhaps a bit of both!) between treatments.  

The middle of the spa adventure is a good time to grab a light lunch, share a cake, and open presents.  If cost is a factor, however, you can wait until after all of the treatments are complete and eat lunch or early dinner together afterward at a restaurant.  Gifts can then be exchanged at the restaurant instead.

Gift Ideas

One idea for the spa bridal shower gift is to simply have all the guests pitch in to pay for the bride-to-be’s spa treatments.  Check with the spa you will be visiting, though, because some will actually include the bride-to-be’s spa package for free with a certain number of paying guests.  Otherwise, a spa bridal shower lends itself naturally to gifts such as lotions and creams.  Hair products and other beauty accessories, such as cosmetics, colognes, hair dryers, and robes are also excellent gifts for a spa bridal shower.

Spa Bridal Shower Favors

The perfect spa bridal shower favors are small samples of a variety of pampering products, such as do-at-home face masks, manicure accessories, nail files, or toe separators.  Often, free samples of cosmetics can also be obtained from department stores.  Gather up as many of these samples as you can and toss them into goodie bags for your guests.

The Home Spa

Another option for the spa bridal shower is to create the spa experience at home.  With a home-based spa bridal shower, the hostess can still use many of the same ideas already discussed, but she can indulge and pamper the guests from the comfort of her home.  This type of spa bridal shower can save a great deal of money in the long run for those who are on a tight budget.  It can also make for a more intimate experience.

Many different facemasks can be purchased, or even made at home, for the at home spa bridal shower.  Each guest can wash her face then enjoy a soothing and relaxing facial.  Afterward, each guest can apply toner and moisturizer while enjoying each other’s company.  Of course, don’t forget to include a snack or lunch, cake, and presents for the bride-to-be!
