Pool Party Tips:

"Summer time, and the living is easy..." It's time to cool down, and have some fun! Grab your inflatable raft, and beach ball... It's time to have a Pool Party!!! Just follow the pool party tips below, for fun, fun, fun in the sun. Or if you really want to kick it up a notch, give me a call for a wet and wild party extravaganza that will put you into the "Party Hall Of Fame!" We can do it all, from a simple barbecue, to a scorching Hawaiian Luau, complete with surf & sand...

Pool Party Tips:

1. Keep the menu simple. Finger foods work best. Pizza, chicken wings, hamburgers, hot dogs, submarine sandwiches, chips, fresh fruits, and sliced veggies with dip.

2. Provide a room for people to change into or out of bathing suits.

3. Ice, Ice, and more Ice. You can never have enough.

4. Keep the drinks in a cooler or a big tub. Use plastic cups for safety around the pool. A healthier alternative to sodas is to provide fresh fruit drinks, such as lemonade or punch.

5. Set up a number of patio chairs and tables around the pool area for your guests. Set up two additional large tables, one for snacks, the other for beverages. Arrange an ample supply of plates, cups, napkins, and utensils on the serving tables.

6. Play a variety of different musical styles.

7. Pool party games like "Marco Polo, and Sharks and Minnows" are always crowd pleasers.

8. Make sure somebody is keeping an eye on the children. A designated kid watcher is a must!

...And don't forget the sunscreen!!!
