Things You'll Need

• Invitations
• Decorative box
• Ribbon
• Tissue paper of tulle
• Spa items
• Fragrance for spritzing
• Rose pedals
• Clear packing tape
• Custom postage

Instructions

1. Decide if you want to create your own spa party paper invitation from scratch or purchase a predesigned invitation. Stationery stores and online retailers sell various spa party designs. You will also find several websites offering free spa party templates. Add your own clever wording that sets a mood and reflects the specific theme and activities that will be featured at the party. Begin with an attention-grabbing title like "Pedi's and Pampering," or "A Spa-tacular Party." The title of a child's slumber spa party could be "Spa-Jama Party." Or for a spa party at your home consider using your name in the location.

2. 

   Decorative cardboard boxes suitable for mailing are sold at craft stores.

   Stretch ribbon across the open box, placing the center of it in the box, and the ends hanging over the sides. Place tissue paper or tulle on top of the ribbon, and fill the box with items that reflect the spa party's theme. Consider a small bottle of bath salts or oil, a sleep mask, loofah sponges, or manicure and pedicure supplies. Any small items that you see in a professional spa setting will make your invited guests feel special before they arrive.

3. Spritz the paper invitations with a scent that reflects the theme of your spa party. Use rose, lavender or eucalyptus fragrance for a serene spa party. Consider a chocolate scent for a chocolate lovers spa retreat. Place the fragrant invitations in the box.

4. Sprinkle dried or silk rose pedals, or silk orchid sprigs into the box. Fold the tissue paper or tulle over so that all of the contents are covered. Take the two ends of the ribbon and tie a pretty bow loosely securing the items in the box. Place the top on the box.

5. Place the address labels on top of each invitation box. Use clear packing tape to secure the invitation boxes so they will remain intact during mailing. Add predesigned, U.S. postage, stamps to the packages and mail them to your guests. Your predesigned postage may be a photo of a soothing spa image, a photo of your guest of honor, or anything you desire.
