Minimal mess, with maximum fun? No matter your age or the time of year, check out our top seven pool party ideas to celebrate any occasion!
Popsicles For Any Age
Whether you're hosting your child's birthday party or a work event, one of our favorite pool party ideas when it comes to refreshments is a classic: popsicles!
For kids, they provide an easy activity for children that may not know how to swim, or who simply want a break from the water. Plus, they can choose their own juice flavors and write cute messages on the sticks!
For the adults, add a little liquor to your frozen treats. For some of the best booze-filled popsicle recipes and ideas, check out these awesome options.
Make Your Own Shade
Nearly 20 million Americans own a pool - but unfortunately, not all of us own our own palm trees.
To compensate, make your own out of balloons or construction paper, which you can hang from your porch. For an even more beachy touch, scatter some seashells and place a few beach toys around the edges of the pool.
Get Games Going
Sure, you know the basics like Marco Polo and the biggest splash contest, but think outside the box by playing more competitive games like water polo or water volleyball - winner keeps the beach ball, and everyone has to sign it!
Get Crafty
Swimming is great, but sometimes you need a break.
Our next pool party idea? Set up a few craft stations on the porch. We like the idea of stringing your own necklaces, filling up vessels with colored sand, or even having guests draw portraits of each other with their eyes closed!
DIY Invites
When it comes to the best pool party ideas, don't forget to jazz up your invitations!
Why not write the details down on a bucket or beach ball, and then hand deliver them to your guests?
As a bonus, if you're having a smaller party, you could ask each guest to bring their favorite poolside party game!
Say Thanks
No party is complete without an awesome favor to help guests remember it.
Why not decorate a pair of sunglasses with the date of the party written in puffy paint? Offer a variety of colors and let guests choose their favorite shade of shades!
Lounge Around
If you're into sewing, give guests a unique and personalized way to relax by stitching their names into some cheap beach towels.
This will take the towels to the next level, and keep your name in guests' minds the next time they're relaxing by the pool!
(And hey, if you're not so skilled with a needle and thread, it's likely that there are several affordable options to monogram guests' names or the party date on a beach towel in your area. Don't worry, we won't tell!)
