When you own a hot tub your list of options for party themes and ideas expands. Here we have some party tips and cautions for your holiday festivities.

Invite Tips

When planning your invites, decide whether you want an intimate setting with close friends and relatives, or a larger event. Intimate settings should typically include the number of people that your hot tub will comfortably hold. Remind people to bring their necessities and let you know if they plan on including some guest of their own. If you invite a few extra guests make sure you have other entertainment they can enjoy while waiting. For larger parties plan other activities and entertainment that your guests can do and enjoy while waiting for their turn in the spa. The activities and entertainment you chose should somehow follow the theme of your party.

Preparation

A week before your party prepare your spa for success. Clean it well and wash the inside of the tub and disinfect. Fill up the water, set the temperature to the right setting, and have chemicals prepared ahead of time. Set outdoor heating at a safe distance and ensure that all electrical cords do no cause a tripping hazard. Set out  warm plush carpets to accommodate people entering and exiting the spa. You don’t want your guests to be kept waiting once they arrive. Everything should be prepared, decorated and the ambiance set.

Decorations & Goodie Bags

The spa area should be decorated and inviting, bring in a buffet set-up and drinks corner, soft lights safely strung overhead, or citronella candles for outdoor settings to keep bugs and flying insects away. If you have have some outdoor heaters this will help guest waiting for their turn in the spa or if they have finished their turn. Keep everyone safe and toasty in outdoor weather. Another nice touch is to be prepared with extra towels, bathrobes, or swim suit if a guest forgets to bring theirs. You should also pick out a designated changing room for people to comfortably slip into and out of their bathing suites. Prepare some take away bags equip with plastic bags so that people may leave with their wet clothes and maybe a thank you card and some water for the road.

Snaks

Light snacks such as finger foods, small hor d’oeuvres, crepes, wraps, cocktail dishes veggies sticks and dips are best for spa parties. Drinks can be simple, light wines, liqueurs or warm brandied wine with cloves, orange zest and spices to add holiday cheer. Always be sure to keep your guest hydrated and keep fresh water at hand. Remind your guest to be safe and stay hydrated in and out of the spa, this will keep your guest safe and coming back for future spa parties.

Cautions

The hot tub area and decorations should not obstruct or block the entrance or exit to the tub. Keep any lighting, cords and electrical outlets safely away from the water. If your hot tub is outdoors, make sure your guests have a warm place to change when exiting the tub so they don’t get a chill. It’s also a good idea to have a set of simple protocols for guests to follow while enjoying a hot tub party, such as where to hang wet towels, no adjusting water temperature, and being aware that the hot water intensifies the effects of alcohol.
