Spa Parties
Most day spas offer special bridal party spa days. You can customize your own services or the spa can create one for you. Many of them will include catered lunches. This is a great way to unwind and relax with your bridesmaids and members of the bridal party before the big day.

Pool Parties
Some local municipalities offer pool rentals at their indoor or outdoor pools. This is for exclusive use of the pool before or after public swim times. If you have a party during the public swim times, some locations will offer a party rental area where you can have a private room for food and beverages. Some allow you to bring in food to the pool area although glass and alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Lifeguards are provided and the rates are quite reasonable. For most pools, rentals are available for non-residents for an extra fee; this policy will vary from city to city. Some local cities that provide this service are as follows;
City of Plano Parks and Recreation Department:
www.plano.gov/Departments/parksandrecreation/recenters/Pools.htm
or call 972-941-7256
City of Arlington:

or call 817-459-5462 for booking an outdoor pool or call 817-275-0513 for booking the indoor pool.
