SPA INDEX ARTICLE:
IT'S OUR SPA PARTY...!
Admit it. You've attended enough shower parties with corny
games and cheesy prizes to last a life time. You secretly wilt at
the thought of one more interminable afternoon slumped back in lumpy furniture
watching the guest of honor open her gifts of tea towels, cake stands, and
Tupperware®. You despair at the thought ingesting one more spoonful of the
omnipresent marshmallow and mandarin orange Jell-O™ salad, followed by the "fruit
punch" chaser, which looks alarmingly nuclear in origin and consists of a
rapidly melting brick of Easter colored sherbet floating in ginger ale.
The Summer wedding months are
upon us and we bet there is another shower in the works. Fortunately for
everyone involved, it's your turn to host this gig and no one is eating Jell-O on
your watch. You vow to plan something creative, fresh, tasty, and
FUN, and we are here to help you do just that.
Spa at Home parties are
gaining popularity because they buck the curiously tenacious rituals associated
with musty and unimaginative party planning. There is a new audience of women
who would much prefer a pot of homemade cranberry lip gloss instead of a
purchased party favor she won because she was the last guest to cross her ankles
(who thought up that torturous game? Slap her.)
From Day Spa Parties, to Mobile Spa Parties, to Home Spa
Parties, Spa Index has party ideas
that both assure you the title of Hostess with the Mostest, and guarantee
you'll stay within your budget. No matter what choice you make, you and
the guests will go home exfoliated, massaged, and soothed to silky perfection.
At the website,
read our complete
article, which includes:
Day Spa Parties. Book an hour, a room,
or the entire Day Spa for you and your guests.

"spa caterer", as well as others across the United States.
