What is somthing that i can do for a summer pool party?

Question

i'm about to have a pool party and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on decorations,food,lighting,games etc.?

Answer 1

How bout some lanterns for lighting, the big round ones you and string around your party area, some tiki fire lamps. Food some finger sandwiches, chips, dips, veggies, some tropical punch, or always a big hit punch mixed in with something fizzy like 7up.

Answer 2

Put some lounge chairs and some waterproof pillows/cushions around the pool so when you're not swimming, the poolside becomes a lounge area for you and your friends.

Get an inflatable boat and fill the inside of it with ice and let it hold your bottled water and soda, etc, and put it in the pool to float around while you're in it. It will look cool as decor and available when you or your friends are hot and want something to drink. Just be careful and warn your friends NOT to throw the caps in the water, they WILL break the filter! Tell them to put the caps back on the bottles when they're done drinking or back into the boat!!

Hang some clear, stringed, Christmas lights around the pool and party area, it will add a cool party atmosphere and instead of having spot lights and flood lights lighting your party, the string lights will add a nice mood to your party. String them through the trees, etc.

Have a bbq and make hamburgers and hot dogs. Have lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and ketchup, for the burgers, and mustard and saurkrut for the hot dogs. You can also do some salads and french fries.

You can also do a taco bar with all the toppings.

Set up a volleyball net and play volleyball and badmitten.

Have a waterballoon fight.

Get an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it with water. Break into 2 teams, have a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the water.

Set up an ice cream bar. Get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and some toppings. Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cherries and let everyone make their own sundaes. You can get waffle cone bowls at the grocery store.

I hope these ideas help and that you have a great party!
