P-A-r-T-Y!?

Question

I'm planning a birthday party/ 4-h party for the weekend (i know nothing like short notice) but I need a theme.. it's a pool party. I've never planned a party by myself so I don't know what I need or should get.

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Hawaiian theme - get leis, and some fun tropical stuff

Answer 2

I dont know your age or what all that you have in mind but what was fun for us from JR high through out HS was to throw up tents all over the property/yard and camp out.    It was super fun!  Sounds lame but it is more fun than one would think.

Answer 3

well, (maybe have everyone bring a food item?) or buy pizzas and another fun idea is using a large bowl, put a bottle of juice and a bottle of pop together and float some pineapple rings or other fresh fruits in it to make a lovely punch! Maybe put some pretty colorful lights around the bowl to make it light up. Make cute little foods to set on a table such as Triscuit crackers with a slice of pepper jack cheese and a tomato slice on top (always a favorite!). You can even set out a bunch or tortillas for your guests and have all different kinds of stuff to fill them with to make sandwhich wraps (like a Subway sandwhich wrap!) For favors, you could go to Target or even a dollar store. There really is some cute but cheap stuff there!! Have a CD player playing high-energy music, decorate with streamers and cute lights. You can also have activities, maybe a craft like decorating picture frames with sea shells or other things (found at the Dollar Tree!) Play fun party games, here's one: Wrap a cute inexpensive gift a bunch of times with wrapping paper. Have all of your guests sit around in a circle and have a timer set for 15 seconds. Start by setting the timer and start passing the prize around. When the timer stops, whoever has the prize will unwrap a layer. Keep going until the last layer is unwrapped, and whoever reveals the prize wins!!

Hope I've helped!! Hope it's a great party too!

Answer 5

I think you should order pizza because a lot of people like pizza! The theme could be like Summer Blast or something like that. Maybe at the end you can have like a dersert parade and prepare pudding, jello, ice cream, and lots of drinks with lots of ice! Hope this helps.

Answer 6

do a luau. buy those light stands and get coconuts and straw skirts, etc. it would be fun. you could also have bar-b-que shishkabobs and stuff.
