I enjoy summers a lot! Wait, who doesn’t? When I was still in school, I always looked forward to summer vacations. These two months away from any academic responsibility is like my heaven on Earth back in the days. Don’t get me wrong – I really enjoyed learning about different things but I know I need a break once in awhile. Changing the scenario once in a while helps a lot in keeping things fresh and interesting for me. With that, I’ve always kept my summers grand, fun and exciting.

My favorite way to do so is by throwing pool parties! No, you don’t need a pool of your own to get the party started – you’ll just need to be friends with someone who has one! Pretty easy, right? But it doesn’t stop there – here are 5 more things that you have to prepare to throw the best summer party of the year.

1.Party details

Before you announce the party to anyone, make sure that you’ve already planned things out. Going through even the smallest detail is the secret to having an awesome party. After deciding on the boring basics like the venue, date and time as well as the guest list, it’s time to go to the exciting details.

Throwing a party with a unique theme never fails to start the excitement even before the actual event. For pool parties, you can use colors, movies or TV shows as themes. The more creative you get, the more you’ll have fun!

Remember to keep things fun and light. It’s summer! For sure everyone just wants to have fun.

2.Spread the word

Today, there are millions of ways to get the invites out. Though handing out paper invitations is a way to go, think of all the trees you’ll save if you just send text messages to everyone or create a Facebook event instead. You could upload a video invitation in YouTube and pass the link to all of your friends. I’m sure you have other social networking accounts – get creative to make your pool party more exciting.

3.Safety

Nothing is worse than interrupting a fun party with an accident. Make sure that everyone stays safe during the entire party by putting up safety signs like “No Diving” or “No Running”. Setting safety rules is even more important if you’ll be having kids around. Make sure that children are accompanied by at least a parent or an adult so that somebody will look after them. Also, check your pool or spa controls before the party to check the quality and temperature of the water.

Hiring a lifeguard could be an option as well. If having a lifeguard is too much for you, designating family or friends to act as one is the best alternative. Just be sure that you have enough safety rings around the area.

Breakable utensils are a no-no. Stack up on paper plates and paper cups to avoid having shattered glass around pool when something accidentally spills or falls on the floor.

4.Awesome food, cocktails and music

Need I say more? This is the life of your party! Think about these things really well. Just keep in mind to keep it light and appropriate to the weather. Serve different types of chips and other finger foods so everyone can just grab them and go. Don’t forget the ice for a warm summer day!
