Entertaining?

Idea!
I visited an urban spa a few years ago that set the bar for me as far as spas go. A small spa that was part of a chain, this relaxing city-spa resides a couple floors above the bustling streets of Santa Monica, CA. The experience was so relaxing, I often still reflect on the time I spent there. One of the things they had were infused waters. Citrus and cucumber waters in these beautiful dispensers. I always thought these waters added to the experience and were very calming and delicious! I decided that I think I want to incorporate these into my wedding. Since we are having a DW near the beach in an incredibly relaxing city, I find relaxing infused waters to be very appropriate! So I am throwing a baby shower in the coming weeks and I decided NOW is the time to try them out.
