Summer is the perfect time to throw a fantastic pool party, and with a little planning, you can create an unforgettable experience for your guests. At A&E Pools, we want you and your family to have FUN in your backyard!
Step 1: Prepare Your Pool
First things first, make sure your pool is in top condition. Clean the pool thoroughly, balancing the water chemistry a few days before the party. Skim any debris, vacuum the pool floor, and check the filtration system to ensure everything is running smoothly. A&E Pools has several pool maintenance plans to help you accomplish this step! Additionally to keep your pool in good condition, adding some colorful pool floats and toys can also make your pool more inviting and fun.
Step 2: Create a Comfortable Atmosphere
Comfort is key to a successful pool party. Try to provide plenty of seating options, such as lounge chairs, hammocks, and even picnic blankets. Set up shaded areas with umbrellas or canopies to offer relief from the sun. Don’t forget to have enough towels on hand for all your guests!
Step 3: Food and Drinks
You don’t want your guests to go hungry! A pool party isn’t complete without food and drinks. Opt for easy-to-eat finger foods and serve them buffet style, or if you have the means, a barbecue is a fun idea! For drinks, set up a self-serve station with a variety of beverages, including water, soda, and some summer-themed fancy drinks (alcohol optional). Remember, SAFETY FIRST! Don’t forget to stay hydrated, especially if it’s a hot day.
Step 4: Prepare Activities and Games
Keep your guests entertained with fun pool games and activities. Classics like pool volleyball, Marco Polo, or balloon water tosses will keep everyone engaged. And no party is complete without a playlist! Consider setting up a poolside playlist with upbeat music to keep the energy high.
Step 5: Decorate!
Set the scene with fun and festive decorations. String lights, lanterns, and tiki torches can create a magical atmosphere as the sun sets. Use colorful tablecloths, napkins, and plates to add a splash of color. If you have a theme, such as a luau or tropical getaway, incorporate those elements into your decor.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: SAFETY FIRST!
Safety should always be a priority at any pool party. Ensure there are designated adults to supervise the pool at all times, especially if there are children present. Have a first aid kit and flotation devices readily available. If your pool doesn’t already have them, consider installing pool alarms and safety covers for added peace of mind.
At A&E Pools, we’re here to help with all your pool maintenance and renovation needs to ensure your pool is always party-ready. Happy hosting!
