Want to have a fun and relaxing day with a few friends? If yes, have a spa party. You can plan a relaxing spa party on a budget. All you need is about 5 to 7 good friends, food, some easy to find pampering items, relaxation music, a few candles and you are all set!
To begin, invite 5 or more friends to your pampering party, not too many as it won’t be relaxing anymore. But seriously, with smaller groups you won’t need as much supplies to prepare, not as much chatter, and it is more relaxing. Next, have each friend bring a healthy snack/foods to munch on. Nothing like food and good conversation with friends.

Salads– Healthy toss salad with a few vinegarette dressing options or whatever you like. Also, Chicken or tuna salad with mini croisssants or both, pasta salad is always good with diced veggies.
Assorted Cheese and Cracker tray- Yummy Cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack, Mozzarella, Swiss, and Colby to name a few. You can choose an assortment of your favorite crackers or pita chips.
Beverages: Detox waters with Cucumber, mint, & lemon in a glass or plastic beverage dispenser. Other varieties such as Orange and Kiwi, Raspberry & Mint, Blueberry and Lime, Strawberry & lemon. Also, you can have assorted herbal teas, Mimosa, or whatever you like!
