I will give you a few links to face masks that you can make with basic around the home things. You could either make them while the girls are playing a game or let them help you.

Be sure to have cucumber slices for them to put on their eyes, for fun.
Obviously, you won't be able to give actual manis and pedis, but you can of course paint their fingers and toes. Either use the colors you have at home, or let you daughter help pick out some new colors. Maybe you could pick up some nail pens as well, this allows you to make designs on nails with ease. Or nail stickers would work.
After facials, do makeup. Of course, most nine year olds don't wear makeup yet, so do it subtle. This way the parents won't freak, but the girls get to have fun. Have assorted light pinks/tans/browns for eyeshadow, a brown mascara, a light pink blush, and light pink and clear glosses. To prevent infections, buy disposable applicators (Walgreens, Walmart, etc.). Apply it all lightly, especially mascara.
After their nails, makeup, and facials are done, do their hair. Make sure to have clips and pony holders that they can take home, so they don't have to undo their hair. Do things like curls, low ponys, high ponys, side ponys, bang poofs, etc.
For games that they can play, google it. Look for games that can be played while they are getting their spa treatments done (so sitting down) as well as normal party games. SOrry I can not be of more help here.
Little finger sandwiches, pasta salad, pretzels, fruit, cheese/crackers, veggies/dip, and chocolate covered strawberries would all be good foods for them.
Background music could be classical music or your daughter's favorite songs without words. Or with words - who cares?
To create a spa atmosphere, don't go all out with 'birthday' decorations. Have comfy pillows/cushions laying all over the ground near the 'spa'. Maybe have a few glass bowls sitting on side tables. Float flowers and votive candles in them. Very pretty. Of course, don't light the candles. Also have flowers in vases scattered about. Maybe a few balloons and streamers in colors like lilac, baby pink, mint green, etc.
For the invites, cut out lipstick and nailpolish shapes from colored paper. In sequins/fake diamonds, writde - Come to (name)'s SPArty on (date! Don't miss out on a fun spa day, right here at (name)'s house. We will provide the spa treatments, be sure to dress comfy and bring a cute outfit for the special photo shoot!
After they have all their spa treatments, do a photo shoot. Have props for them to use and take pictures with your digital. Print the pictures off you computer on picture paper before the party is over. Have them wear their special outfits for this.
For the pedis, have them soak their feet in a bowl of soapy water before hand.
Have the girls seated in a circle in chairs for the spa.
Have plastic wine glasses or bright plastic cups for them to drink lemonade / flavored water from.
Be sure to have cupcakes for the birthday cake.
Goodie Bags - Buy one or two bags of little Dove chocolates. Split up the bag(s) evenly between all 12 girls. Have one bottle of nail polish for each girl. Buy assorted colors. A little bottle of body spray - fruity- would be nice. Along with a bottle of fruity lotion. Finish the bag off with a nice little (cheap) piece of jewelry and/or sunglasses. You can buy the glasses at Gymboree for only $4 or so. You could also do cheap little plastic watches/ hair accessories.

If you could get your daughter a really cute spa outfit and a really cute photo shoot outfit, that would be exciting for her. These would be cute. Just ideas of course....

Definitely put cucumbers on the eyelids, it is cheap and feels so cool when you take them off.
You can rub sugar and water all over the hands to exfoliate and make them feel smooth before the nail painting.
Soak the feet in hot water with epson salt.
It is fun to get their hair styled. Maybe you or some talented friend could french braid all their hair or give them updoes. Girls usually enjoy this. Have something for the other girls to do while waiting their turn though. Perhaps they could make scrunchies or decorate headbands and haircombs by hotgluing beads on them.
Demonstrate how to give a hand & wrist massage and then let the girls give each other massages (its fun because it is unique, a kind of massage people don't think of often).
Mani & Pedi, Face masks, massages. Finger foods-carrot & celery sticks, crackers & cheese. Sounds like an awesome birthday!! Maybe a small gift bag - lotion or nail polish.
