4 Ideas for a Fun Backyard Hot Tub Party

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)

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 set-up doesn’t include an outdoor TV, you can always create your own!

Just get a sheet, projector, 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 Inflate-A-Chair™! They’re the perfect addition to your outdoor set-up – comfortable, sturdy, easy to set up 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 (every hot tub 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 or any others, to keep them entertained when they’re not in the hot tub. You can even create games around your party theme for extra enjoyment.

Keep the littles entertained with the H2OGO!® Lil' Champ Play Center! This play center has it all – bowling, basketball, tether ball, ring toss and a removable slide. For the hot summer months, you can attach the water sprayer to your garden hose to keep kids cool while they play.

4. Serve Snacks & Drinks

While you don’t want food in the hot tub (crumbs = more cleaning and sanitizing), you still want to provide snacks and drinks for your guests to enjoy when they’re outside the hot tub 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)
