How to Throw an Amazing Pool Party: Tips
When the hot weather comes, pool parties become a hit among children and adults. While it doesn’t seem as if there is anything complicated about arranging a pool party, there are a few tips that any pool party planner can appreciate.
- Simple Food
When it’s hot and sunny, huge amounts of greasy food can do partygoers a bad favor. Overstuffed stomachs don’t go well together with swimsuits and exercising, such as jumping and swimming. Meanwhile, food can easily be spoiled out in the sun. Accordingly, you need to think about something light, such as fruits and vegetable. Small cheese sandwiches can do as well. Try to avoid meat, fish, and baked goods.
- Safety Rules
Don’t assume that all your guests are aware of safety rules. Forget the risk of sounding overprotective and voice out the rules for everyone to hear. While the guests are reviewing the information, make sure to make safety equipment available. Floaties, vests, and sunscreen should be ready for your guests at all times.
- Have a First Aid Kit Ready
First aid kit is a must-have for all parties, including the water events. Many people forget about first aid when it comes to having fun. You need to have everything ready to deal with cuts, scrapes, and occasional sunburn.
- Don’t Forget the Décor
Since you keep the food planning to a minimum, consider splurging on the décor. Pool parties are fun when you create the right ambiance. Think about the palm trees, beach cocktails, tiki torches, and plenty of other stuff to make your guests feel as if they are partying on a tropical beach rather than in your backyard.
- Invitations
Send out pool party invitations 2 weeks in advance. Make sure to mention the party theme and ask to RSVP.
