It’s a time to spend quality time with your family and have an adventure. But what if you don’t want to go somewhere? You just want to stay in the comfort of your home and celebrate the summer season. Why not translate fun into planning your very own summer pool party? Pool parties are so much fun. It’s a great way to bring family, friends and neighbors altogether. You won’t have to leave your house. Everyone will come to you. But how will you go about planning your own pool party? Here’s how.

It’s best to make sure that all the components concerning your party are cohesive. They should go as a whole.

ACTIVITIES

Plan activities for you’re your guests. For the kids you can bring out a sand box and have them play there. You can put shovels and pails so that the kids can play with them. You can also throw life buoys, plastic floating animals and beach balls on the pool so the kids can indulge. For the adults you can have a pool volleyball game or a sand castle building contest. There are a lot of activities that you can do to keep our gets having fun the whole day.

THE FOOD

Make sure that you have enough food for the party. Choose foods that are easily to cook and are mobile so that your guests can walk around while eating them. You can do rice in a box, barbeques, prawn on a stick, a grilled corn cob, hotdogs on a stick, burgers, fruits on a stick and potato salad in little colored containers. Be sure that you have enough food for your guests. If this comes to you as costly, tell your friends to have a potluck instead.
