Tips & Warnings
Interview several day spas to select which one would be best for your spa day bridal shower. Go in person to see what the ambiance and the personnel are like.
Try to have a spa treatment at the spa you select before the actual event. It would be best if you can see what the personnel are like when they give treatments.
You may need to have the shower in two parts, with food and presents at one location and spa treatments in another. Do what seems best and most comfortable for your guests and the locations that you select.
Many spa treatments can be done in the comfort of your own home, like foot baths, cucumber eye patches and massages. This can be a fun, and more affordable alternative to a pricy salon.
Home beauty sales organizations like Mary Kay and Avon most likely have local consultants that would be happy to offer at home spa treatments in exchange for showing their products at the bridal shower. Meet with the consultant ahead of time to discuss the nature of the shower. This would not be a normal sales demonstration, and the guests should not feel pressured to buy anything.
