Girls Spa Party: Bath Salt Party Favors

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.

I have such great memories of attending spa parties for girls as a child. When my daughter and I were discussing birthday party themes for her this year I suggested we use my new spa products to treat her friends to a facial and foot/hand treatment. She was excited to plan all the details of her girls spa party with me, including homemade bath salt party favors!

Girls Spa Party Ideas

The best part of spa birthday parties is the fun product that the guests get to try. We decided to do a mini facial, exfoliating hand scrub and hand lotion, peppermint foot soak and scrub, as well as a few simple party games.

Everyone started the spa party with their exfoliating hand treatment. We applied a deeply moisturizing lotion on damp hands first. Then came the fun exfoliating scrub which the girls loved rubbing into every nook and cranny of their hands. They finished with a hand cream with a soft scent.

Learn how to throw a girls spa party, including homemade bath salts party favors. My daughter loved her spa birthday party, complete with facials, foot soaks, and party games. A kids spa party is a fun way to pamper the birthday girl and guests!

I split the girls into two groups for the facials and foot soak/scrub and convinced my amazing husband to help manage the girls soaking feet while I lead the facials.

For the facial we started with a warm wash cloth and simple cleanser. Then the girls applied an incredibly gentle face mask. Of course we had to add the cucumber slices for the full spa experience. Once the mask was wiped clean they finished with a light moisturizer. I also offered a simple foundation CC cream and lip gloss that they got to add to their favor bag to take home.

Meanwhile, the other group was busy soaking their feet. I got plastic shoebox-sized bins for each guest so we could have water near their seats. I made sure to have towels under each little foot bin and of course extra towels to dry.

This was a great opportunity to talk about the importance of keeping our face clean and how to use gentle pressure when cleaning the sensitive skin on our face.

We also did a few party games including a word search, pin the cucumbers on the spa lady, and we made our own scented bath salts for the guests to take home as favors. See directions below to make your own!

Most of the supplies for this kids spa party can be conveniently found on Amazon and any local big box retailer like Target or Walmart. Here are just a few of the spa party supplies we used or think would be fun!

How to Make Bath Salt Party Favors

Bath Salt Favor Supplies

• pure epsom salt (I used Dr Teal’s which comes in a variety of scents or fragrance free)

• essential oils of your choice (only if your epsom salt doesn’t have a scent)
• baking soda (I used Arm and Hammer)

• containers with a sealed lid

• jar label

• permanent white marker (or metallic gel marker and a fixative spray)

DIRECTIONS:

Simply mix your epsom salt and baking soda in a 1:1 ratio. If you have epsom salts that already have the essential oil fragrance added you’re set. If you have fragrance free epsom salt you can add a drop or two of your favorite, calming essential oil.

Have the party guests help measure the bath salts and baking soda into a large bowl.

Mix the salt and soda together well. Guests at a kids spa party can take turns stirring.

Using a small spoon or funnel (you can make your own by rolling a piece of printer paper) scoop the bath salt mixture into the individual favor jars. I like the glass favor jars with the tight sealed lid. If you have younger kids you could get the smallest food storage containers with lids or the acrylic cosmetic containers.

Add a decorative label on the lid to clearly label the bath salts. I suggest using a white, permanent paint marker. I I used a metallic gel pen. If your marker isn’t drying fully, you’ll need to spray a fixative (I used a spray varnish) on the stickers before applying them to the lid so they don’t smudge.

This is a simple and fun spa party activity but could easily be used as a gift for friends or even a wedding shower favor. They’d even work for bridesmaids gifts for a bridal spa party. Add a small scoop to warm bath water and enjoy the calming essential oil scent while the epsom salt does its work on your sore muscles. You could also make your own mini foot bath to use your homemade bath salts. Epsom salts are know to soothe aches, pains, sprains, and stings as well as relieving muscle tension.

Hope you enjoyed these girls spa party ideas and homemade bath salts party favor!
