Ain’t no party like a hot tub party!
When you think about time spent in your inflatable hot tub, you probably think about a nice long soak after a hard day at work or relaxing with your significant other for an at-home date night.
Now it’s time to switch gears – invite a few friends over and take the party outdoors with your SaluSpa® inflatable hot tub as the main attraction.
If you’re looking for some “water-ful” ideas for your next hot tub party, here are four that will keep your guests entertained all night long:
1. Pick a Party Theme
Before you invite your guests, pick a party theme. Here’s where your creativity can really shine! Depending on the time of year, you can pick a party theme that’s holiday-focused, season-focused or just plain fun. Think outside the box for your party décor.
Spring: flowers, St. Patrick’s Day (shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold), Easter (eggs, bunnies, pastels, faith-based)
Summer: patriotic, luau, baseball, carnival, summer camp
Fall: football, fall festival (pumpkins and leaves), Halloween (ghosts, spiders, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons), Thanksgiving (turkeys, cornucopia)
Winter: winter wonderland (snowflakes, blues & white), Christmas (Santa, snowman, trees, faith-based, candy canes), NYE (party poppers, streamers), Valentine’s Day (hearts, pinks & reds, cupid)
That’s right...you can have your backyard hot tub party in the winter, too!
Many SaluSpa inflatable hot tubs feature innovative winterizing technology, Freeze Shield®, which prevents your hot tub from freezing during colder temperatures. Never kept your hot tub up during the winter?
Here are four tips for winterizing your inflatable hot tub.
You can also go the route of movies, shows, video games or any other theme you and your guests will enjoy. The possibilities are endless!
Once you’ve picked a theme, now it's time to start thinking about some fun activities for your guests.
2. Put on Your Favorite Movie
What better way to mingle with your friends than watching your favorite movie from the hot tub? If your backyard setup doesn’t include an outdoor TV, you can always create your own!
Just get a bedsheet, a projector, a media player and speakers. You can even check with your local library to see if they have any of these items to rent to save some cash!
Your other guests can still enjoy the movie outside of the hot tub from the comfort and convenience of an inflatable chair or air mattress. They’re the perfect addition to your outdoor setup – comfortable, sturdy, easy to inflate and require minimal storage.
3. Set Up a Few Games
Let the games begin! Since your inflatable hot tub only accommodates so many guests at one time (each one has its own capacity), let’s give the other guests something fun to do while they wait their turn!
Set up a few games like cornhole (bags), ladder golf, horseshoes (ring toss), bocce ball, etc., to keep them entertained when they’re not in the hot tub. You can even create games around your party theme for extra enjoyment.

4. Serve Snacks & Drinks
While you may not want food in the hot tub (crumbs = more cleaning and sanitizing), you can still provide snacks and drinks for your guests to enjoy when they’re watching the movie or playing games.
Finger foods are an excellent choice because they’re easy to prepare, serve and eat. Just set up a table nearby and let guests fill up their plates whenever they get hungry.
Snack ideas: fruit and vegetable trays with dips, cheese, meat and crackers tray, nuts, pigs in a blanket, sliders, and ham and cheese pinwheels (rollups)
Now that you have your hot tub party game plan set, go get started on your guest list!
