Pool Party Guide

So you're looking to throw a pool party, huh? Well luckily for you, the weather is warming up, and with spring break now behind us, summer is quickly approaching. Everyone's going to be hitting the pools, so why not just throw your own pool party? It's easier than you think, and with all the necessities, your party will for sure beat out all the others.

Pool Party Check List:
  • Guests - Make sure to send out invites! You can't have a party without people. An easy way to do this is to make a Facebook event, so you can keep track of how many people are going.
  • The little things - People always forget small items that are usually  crucial. Make sure you take a few minutes to double check your supplies.
  • Entertainment - You don't have to reinvent the wheel here. Keep it simple with a few activities that are not too involved, like some of your tailgating games. 
  • Music - Make a party playlist! Variety is key. Your guests are going to expect to hear some of the new hits, but mixing in some high school throwback songs is always a good idea.
  • Food - Grilling is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to feed your guests. Snacks like chips and salsa, queso, or guac, pizza, or wings are also great to pick on during the day. 
  • Drinks - Cold iced tea or lemonade really hit the spot on a hot day, or for the 21+ crowd, a blender an extension can be clutch for making your favorite frozen margarita or daiquiri!
Things You Always Forget:
  • Towel
  • Sunscreen
  • Koozies
  • Portable Speakers
  • Ice for your cooler
  • Coals, lighter fluid, and lighter (if grilling)
  • A bottle opener
