I wanted to do something unique for my wedding shower a few weeks ago, and a friend of mine suggested going to a spa. The thing was, I really wanted to have more than just one or two friends with me, and if we all went out to a spa, we would have been apart for most of the day.

David of Elite Bodyworks Maui has been my massage therapist for a few months, and I found out that he also does spa parties. It was PERFECT! I had 14 girlfriends come over to my house and David literally set up a spa tent in my backyard. There was a hand massage station with a parafin wax treatment at the end, a foot massage station and a neck and head massage station. All us girls got to be right near each other and we put out a big spread of appies and fruity martinis. It was a blast!

The whole spa part only took three hours, which kept it really reasonably priced, and David even brought out a special red clay face mask treatment for us all at the end (complete with steaming hot scented towels to wipe down afterwards).

It was a huge hit with my girlfriends, and I would fully recommend this to any bride or birthday girl! Seriously good fun.
