How to Throw a Cold Weather Hot Tub Party
Have you ever been invited to a hot tub party in the middle of winter? If not, you are missing out! There is nothing quite like relaxing in the warm water while snow and cool breezes circle around you. Owning a hot tub allows you to enjoy your patio and outdoor living space, even during the cold months of the year, so why not bring the fun back outdoors this season with a hot tub party?
Below we review some suggestions for ways you can make your cold weather hot tub party a success.
- Decorations: The key to any good party is setting the mood with decorations; this is especially true when you are hosting a cold weather hot tub party. Since it gets dark earlier in the winter months, consider enhancing the atmosphere with twinkle lights, rope lighting, or other outdoor lighting accessories. If you have a theme, which most parties do, add some decorations around your spa to set the tone and get your guests excited.
- Add Some Warmth: While the hot tub will provide heat to guests, who are in the water, when they get out, things can be a bit chilly. You may have some guests who would rather sit outside the waters instead of get in. It can be a good idea to add outdoor heaters to your space and even fire tables and pits for guest to sit around. Don’t forget to make sure you have plenty of warm dry towels for guests.
- Food and Beverages: When throwing a cold weather hot tub party, help to set the tone with some warm beverages like hot cocoa and warm apple cider. Provide some warm easy to eat food options as well. Try to have things that your guests can grab on the go when they are out of the warm water. Think about things like pizza, meatballs, pigs-in-a-blanket, sausage bites, etc. Get creative.
- Utilize Hot Tub Accessories: Adding the right hot tub accessories to your spa, can really help to elevate your party. Add spa side tables for drinks and snacks, install towel bars to ensure towels stay dry, use spa steps to ensure guests can get safely in and out of the hot tub, and if you have water seat spa cushions, make them available so guests can make themselves comfortable, as needed.
If you are planning to have guests stick around after their soak, set up a different area around your home for the after-party.
