Invitations & Décor Spray invitations with a spritz of chocolate cologne spray or perfume for a delightful smell. Who could resist! Tell your guests to wear comfortable clothing. Be specific with your instructions based on the type of chocolate spa treatments you plan to offer. Need flip-flops or a robe? Let them know so that everyone is prepared and comfortable. Chocolate scented candles are a must for a chocolate spa party! Add unscented tea lights for enhanced lighting and mood. Turn on serene, soothing music or a CD with nature sounds. Look for chocolate brown party goods along with calming, complimentary colored accessories. Pale lavender and light mint green are nice "spa-like" choices that go well with brown. Fresh flowers, greenery or plants will help to create a spa environment. Choose soothing colors for your flowers, like creamy whites, rose, pinks and lavenders. Place small, decorative plates or bowls of chocolate truffles on the table in the spa area. Add doilies, lace or pretty place mats for a nice touch. Wicker or rattan pieces work well too. Get rid of the clutter. Stuff it in the closet if you must! You want everything to look restful, relaxing and pleasant. Food & Drink Obviously something chocolate - but the choices are limitless! Make mini-sized portions or slices so that party guests can try a little of everything. If you don't have time to go crazy in the kitchen, or hate to bake, don't despair. There are plenty of readily available, high quality chocolate treats that you can buy. Chocolate chip cookies and brownies are always a favorite. Other ideal choices: Dark chocolate covered strawberries are the perfect treat for a chocolate spa party. They're luscious, easy to make and packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Other healthy choices to consider: Dark chocolate covered granny smith apples, frozen chocolate covered banana chunks, dark chocolate covered almonds.

Have plenty of chilled bottled water, sparkling water or mineral water. A little champagne makes an adult party extra special.
