Throwing a Memorable Hot Tub Party Part 3: Ambiance and Atmosphere

Part three of a series on throwing a memorable hot tub party explores the importance of ambiance. What is ambiance?  Why atmosphere of course.

Hot Tub Party Ambiance: the Right Mix

We've all been to them.  Parties that are beyond boring.  No music playing, cheap snacks, nothing to drink, and only small talk conversation.  Then someone offers to bring out a dull game to 'liven' things up.  At that point you've got only two choices left: fake an emergency text message on your phone, or gnaw your own arm off to escape.  You don't want your hot tub party to be like that!

So let's start helping you to get the ambiance firmly established. Start by decorating.  If you're throwing a theme party such as a luau, obviously tikis, torches, leis, and palm trees help to get people in the tropical mood.  You may also wish to make your food and drink, as we discussed in our earlier articles reflect your theme.  Choosing what music to use at your hot tub party is also important.

Music and Company: How a Hot Tub Ties it All Together

With the obvious presence of water, think of all the possibilities for music at a hot tub party.  Obviously you could use steel drum music of the Caribbean and Hawaiian music.  But you could also do Greek music because of the Mediterranean, or Mexican fiesta music as well.  If you don't want world music, how about surfer rock, or neo-surfer rock?  Maybe you want a mix of several different types of music.  Just remember, you want to balance noisy and loud music with some songs that are a little quieter.  Don't get too quiet or you'll make the ambiance of the party dissipate.  Keep the volume down, both for your neighbors, and so that your guests can have conversations.

Don't make too many rules for your party.  The best parties are those that you keep loose.  People can get into the spa or stay out, or hop back and forth.  With the right combination of ambiance, conversation, food, and drink, your parties will be remembered as legendary.  When people are relaxed, they talk more and a hot tub party is very relaxing.
