If you own a pool, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be throwing a pool party. Read on for a few fun party tips and pool party ideas to guarantee a great time.
Choose A Theme
A theme isn’t an absolute must, but throwing themed pool parties does help give focus to party planning.
So what are some fun pool party themes?
- Go wild.. And that doesn’t have to mean things are out of hand. Wild pool parties are great fun for children and adults alike. Make your wild pool party a jungle theme - maybe a tropical jungle party at the neighborhood lagoon.
- Teeny bikini pool party. Not necessarily teeny meaning size, but a bikini theme is a perfect theme for a teen pool party while they still have the bodies to wear them. Add life to your pool party. Girl bikini wearers can strut their stuff in a bikini fashion show or contest.
Hawaiian luaus, Pirate’s plunder, and beach party are just a few more fun pool party themes. The options never end.
The best way to set the theme and mood of your swimming pool party is to start with the very first step. Choose or make your own pool party invitations in the theme of the day. Guests will have something to look forward to and come with some idea of what party tone to expect.
Party Games
Pool party games aren’t hard to think up. The benefit to pool parties though is that you don’t need many games for entertainment. Plan a couple of alternatives to work into the party theme, but remember the pool is already entertainment.
- Water sports.. Volleyball, polo, even a game of football or baseball. Adding water as an obstacle makes any trite old game fun again.
- Races and relays.
- Diving adventures. Players can dive to see who can collect the most items from pool bottom, or to see who gets one particular hidden prize. Diving games can become treasure hunts, too; write clues on plastic waterproof items with permanent markers.
There are many more fun games to play in and around the party pool. Cover online resources to find appropriate pastimes for your crowd.
Pool Party Accessories
The number and originality of pool party accessories are surprising. The choice to rent or buy is up to you. Your decision will depend on the uniqueness of your theme, cost, and how often you plan to entertain.
Choices range from elaborate fountains to light features. One fun accessory is a harmless pool water dye made by party pool. Cover specs detail application instructions. The dye lasts for several days, and is not said to cause pool and accessories to stain..
You might choose to shop for ways to beautify an unused pool as well. Times of the year when it’s too cool for swimming, you might still utilize deck or patio near the pool and dressing it up a bit can help make guests aware of pool boundaries.. Look online for more party pool cover information (including safety), lighting and decoration ideas, and helpful tips for party pool cover cleaning (before and after).
Pools are great places to gather for a party in season or out. Pool parties are easy to host with built in activity and an easy template to grow on. Use these ideas and many more for a smashingly successful pool party.
