You’ve planned all the special touches to make your party perfect, but don’t forget to schedule time to get yourself party-ready. Make your grooming appointments well in advance of your party so you get first pick of appointment times. Schedule a haircut, blow-out, manicure, pedicure or a massage for the day before or day of your party. You’ll probably be on your feet for most of the day and will welcome a productive break for a little “me” time. You can also get a spa-like experience without opening your purse strings by using the jacuzzi or steam room at your gym, or doing a home treatment with a store-bought mud mask and cucumber slices. If spa treatments aren’t your thing, make time for something that you enjoy, whether it be a run in the park or a relaxing yoga class. Remember: The foundation for any great party is a happy host.
