Themes to Make a Splash
- Tropical Tiki Bar - Transform your backyard into a tropical paradise with tiki torches, palm fronds, and vibrant decorations. Serve fruity cocktails and snacks like pineapple skewers and coconut shrimp.
- Underwater Adventure - Create an underwater wonderland with decorations like paper fish, seaweed streamers, and treasure chests. Provide snorkels and masks for guests to explore the “ocean” in your pool.
- Beach Bash - Bring the beach to your pool with sand, beach balls, and surfboards. Set up a volleyball net and have a sandcastle-building contest for added fun.
- Neon Nights - Light up the night with neon decorations, glow sticks, and LED pool lights. Play upbeat music and keep the party going with a dance floor by the pool.
Games to Keep the Fun Flowing
- Pool Volleyball Set up a net across the pool and divide guests into teams for a friendly game of volleyball. It’s a great way to get everyone involved and active.
- Water Balloon Toss Fill balloons with water and have guests pair up to toss them back and forth. The last pair with an un-popped balloon wins!
- Floatie Races Provide a variety of pool floats and have guests race across the pool. It’s a hilarious and competitive game that everyone will enjoy.
- Treasure Hunt Hide waterproof items around the pool area and give guests clues to find them. The first person or team to find all the treasures wins a prize.
Decorations to Set the Scene
- Colorful Pool Noodles Use pool noodles to create arches, garlands, and other decorations. They’re affordable, versatile, and add a pop of color to your party.
- Beach Ball Centerpieces Fill clear containers with mini beach balls and use them as centerpieces for tables. It’s a simple yet festive decoration idea.
- Jellyfish Lanterns Hang paper lanterns with streamers to resemble jellyfish. They add a whimsical touch to your underwater-themed party.
