A Sweet Spa Party For Emma's Fifth Birthday

Spa parties seem to be quite the kid trend right now, and this one, thrown by Michele Brown of Sweet Threads Clothing, is a great example of why the theme is both mom and kid friendly. Built-in beautifying activities mean pint-size guests will be wildly entertained, but the necessity of having adults (professional or amateur; Michele hired two high school students to give the girls beauty treatments while the moms relaxed) to paint nails means a limited guest list works best — always a good thing for moms. While I've seen a few spa parties actually thrown at a nail salon (even less work for Mom!), Michele chose to throw her adorable version at home. Lovely paper goods, accessories, and sweets only added to this spa party's appeal. Keep clicking to check out all the oh-so-beautiful details.
