Wouldn’t it be fun to have a spa night get-together with your girlfriends? You could make a few treatment recipes, have everyone bring an appetizer and then watch movies!

I am thinking about having a Spa-theme for my daughters 10th birthday party. I would have each of the girls bring a robe and slippers. Then I would have different stations: a manicure station, a pedicure station, and a facial station. Have you ever done this type of party or been to one? Do you have any ideas?
