What to buy for a wellness day

A wellness day needs more than treatments and a calm schedule. You will need clean towels, bathrobes, slippers, drinks, snacks and enough tableware for the full participant list. Plan catering from the confirmed registrations, then add a small buffer so nobody runs out of tea, water or light food. Check dietary requirements, allergies and care preferences before shopping, and chill drinks and prepare treatment kits before guests arrive.

Tips

Allow at least one clean towel per participant, plus 10% extra for spills, hair treatments or guests who want a second towel. Wash and fold them before setting up the wellness areas.
Prepare one bathrobe and one pair of slippers per participant, then keep a few spare pairs available in a storage basket. Label treatment times and preferences on the final participant list rather than relying on memory.
For the first hour, plan roughly two drinks per person; after that, allow one drink per person per hour. Include water, tea and coffee, and keep chilled drinks in coolers with ice ready.
Buy light snacks for the complete programme, including options that match recorded allergies and dietary requirements. Prepare serving bowls and platters before guests arrive so food is not left in shopping bags.
Count plates, bowls, glasses, tea glasses, knives, forks and spoons against the final guest list, adding 10% spare place settings. Do the shopping at least one day ahead, while fresh snacks and ice can be bought on the day.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to buy for a wellness day?: Plan for towels, bathrobes, slippers, drinks, snacks, treatment supplies, tableware and serving equipment. Match quantities to the confirmed participant list and add about 10% spare items for towels, place settings and drinks.
How many towels do I need for a wellness day?: Use one clean towel per participant as a starting point, plus 10% extra. For 20 guests, that means at least 22 towels, washed and ready before setup begins.
How much food and drink should I buy for a wellness day?: For drinks, allow about two per person in the first hour and one per person for each following hour. Buy snacks for every registered guest, with separate suitable options for each recorded allergy or dietary requirement.
When should I shop for a wellness day?: Buy non-perishable supplies, tableware and treatment materials at least one day before the event. Buy fresh snacks and ice on the day itself, and chill drinks several hours before participants arrive.
