So, you’ve recently bought a hot tub and are excited about using it. However, you need to figure out what to do in it or how to get your friends interested in coming over to enjoy it with you.
Putting your hot tub to good use is at the top of every hot tub owner’s list.
Before filling up your hot tub, plan some fun things to do in your spa to make it much more enjoyable. Here are some ideas to consider.
Have a Theme Party
Do you want to spice up your time in the hot tub with friends and family? Try throwing a theme party. You may feel like heating things up with a beach party theme. Or you may want to include a movie theme such as Pirates of the Caribbean. Another option is to follow a color scheme and have an all-white party. Whatever theme you choose, make it fun for you and your guests.
Watch A Few Good Movies
If you don’t need your guests to wear specific attire but you want to ensure that you all do something together, consider watching a few good movies. Screens and monitors are one of many convenient and luxurious options to have installed. You can choose a few new blockbusters that no one has watched and are now playing on streaming channels. Or, you can have a blast from the past and watch some classic movies that were popular when you were a teen.
Listen to Music
Maybe you don’t want to watch television, or you don’t have a TV outside to view your favorite movies. Another good option for you and your guests is to soak in the hot tub and listen to good music. You may be in the mood for some soothing jazz music. Or you can revisit some classics from the ’60s or disco from the ’70s.
Some hot tubs come equipped with speakers, so playing music in the tub shouldn’t be an issue. However, if you don’t have a hot tub with speakers installed, grabbing a Bluetooth speaker and playing your favorite song playlist from a popular music streaming platform should do the trick.
Play Some Games
Do you want to crank the fun up to another level? Playing games is another way to enjoy yourself in the hot tub. One fun option may be to play “Pass the Bottle,” in which you take a water bottle and pass it around to others in the hot tub without using your hands. Other options include floating, waterproof traditional board games such as checkers or backgammon.
Sip Wine and Eat Appetizers
Serving wine and appetizers is another way to bring your friends and family together for a good time in your hot tub. An appetizing charcuterie board with delicious cheeses and meats can get the party off to a good start.
Add white or red wine, which can turn the party up a few notches. Be careful not to drink too much, considering alcohol in a hot tub is not ideal since it can dehydrate you. To avoid this, keep some water nearby.
Gaze at the Stars
If you can’t think of something for you and your guests to do while in the tub that they will all enjoy, don’t rule out simply relaxing and enjoying the ambiance. If all your guests could use this time to relax and reflect, then make it a stargazing night.
This is especially a great idea if you live in a city far away from night lights and no clouds are out. Enjoying the beauty of shooting stars and finding the Big Dipper in the sky may be all you need to make your hot tub experience fun.
Meditate
Unfortunately, stargazing may not be possible because of cloud cover or because you may not be in a place where you can see the splendors of the sky. Another good option you and your guests can enjoy in the spa is meditation. Add a few scented candles and you’ll be well on your way to a refreshing evening.
