Planning your end of summer pool party is easier than you think. Here is an easy check list to help you host a successful event.
Decorations
Bright colors and balloons are the easiest and least expensive ways to add festive to your theme. Beach balls, grass skirts and tiki torches fit in to most pool party themes and are always an easy and in expensive find at the store.
Food & Drinks
If a BBQ is on the menu of ideas, consider kebobs, burgers, hot dogs, or chicken on the grill or perhaps ribs and pork on the smoker. For a lighter menu, finger foods are always popular. Fresh fruits and veggies are a healthy choice for all ages and are perfect for the summer sun.
Old-fashioned lemonade and iced tea are always a popular choice with sodas and juices being an easy second choice. For adults and kids, adding cute little umbrellas is always a winning touch.
Convenience
Be sure to provide a few extra towels, sun-screen and an easy trail to a nearby bathroom.
Pool Safety
Whether hosting an adult or kid-friendly party, pool safety should always be priority one. Be sure there are enough eyes on the kids to ensure safe play as well as those adults who are enjoying cocktails are kept away from the pool.
Pool Party Toys
Pool toys are a fun edition for both adults and children, such as a basketball hoop or volleyball net always provides hours of entertainment. Or perhaps having relaxing floats to just lounge around is more in line to the theme. For kid inspired parties, noodles, squirt guns and diving rings are always a popular pick.
Fun Games
Set up speakers for outdoor music and provide tables and chairs for relaxing and enjoying the fare. You can also utilize the table space for board games for those taking a rest from the pool activities.
