How to Throw The Best Pool Party This Summer

The seasonal heat is really kicking off this time of year, and we all know how intense Georgia summers can be. At this point you’re probably coming up with some pretty creative ways to cool off, but sometimes the best thing you can do is get back to the basics. Why not share the gift of your refreshing outdoor pool with friends and family?

It sounds like it’s time to plan a summer pool party! This type of event never gets old and always goes off without a hitch, but you probably already knew that. What you’re here for is to find out how you can make your pool party a unique and memorable experience for your guests, and we’re here to deliver!

If you’re partying on a budget, you might want to go the simplistic route with a Boho theme. The muted tones and interesting patterns will make you look like an elegant host, and the short tables and pillow seats will save you on dining space and money.

If you’re wanting something more colorful and are expecting a lot of kids at your party, go all out in an ice cream theme! Choose bright pastels to compliment a DIY sweet station for the young'uns to make their own sugary-sweet cold concoctions.

You could always stick with the classics and bring out the theme that never really dies: Tiki. It’s not hard to find supplies for this theme either; all stores will be carrying party accents in this oldie style throughout the summer season.

If you want your party to be Pinterest-board worthy, you’ll want your food to match your theme. Some absolute musts that will compliment whatever style you end up choosing are: chips with homemade dip, a build-your-own kebab station, sliced watermelon, pigs in a blanket, and of course a salad for the weight-watchers. You can add a personal twist to your menu to compliment your theme and really bring the whole party together.

You’ve got the theme, you’ve got the food, now all you need is the drinks! If you’re expecting an adult audience, there are some great recipes for spiked punch and super simple cocktails that are a google search away.

If there’s going to be a lot of kids at your party, make sure that if you do end up having mixed drinks with your menu, that you put them in a separate place from your regular beverages and that they’re not easily accessible to small, curious hands. For those non-alcoholic drinkers, soda, lemonade, or kid-friendly punch are all excellent options.

The worst thing you can do is get all of your planning and prep completed, and then gloss over the star of the show: your pool. Make sure that you’ve given your pool maintenance technician a call and that you’re caught up on all of your regularly-scheduled pool services.
