Ideas for the perfect Pool Party this Summer!

Its Summer time folks!!! With the bright orange ball baking everything down below, the heat waves charring what’s left, its time to put on those cool sunglasses, sip on some icy coolers and get your chill on, throwing the coolest Poolside Parties for your friends. A pool party is a great way to celebrate the Summer Sun and beat the heat.   

With these chilled out ideas you’ll be able to freeze the moments, break the ice and plan a Sun-sational pool party.

     

      

     Icy Blue Coolers :  Ice cold drinks, fruit punches and shakes are a staple for any summertime party. Try putting a tinge of the theme into your drinks. Blue aqua themed fruit punches named Sea Water or Blue Ocean would gel in with the spirit.  Just add your favorite flavors, some blue Gatorade, sprite and Vodka(if you so like!) and get a witty and tempting beverage.

      Pool Fun : Air filled floaters are to swimming pools what lime is to mojito! Delightful and attractive, they add the much needed prettiness to an otherwise bland looking pool area. They come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Make an entry gate out of them, or use the shark fin ones for a Jaws themed party… add to the bustle in your backyard.

     About the food : Keep the food light, flavorful and in sync with the season. Fresh fruits like watermelons and pineapples are great accompaniments. You can cut them out in attractive shapes, imitating the theme or make them with a twist, soaking diced pineapples in some coconut flavored rum.

      Accesorize and Personalize : Accessories and personalized items add to the fever of a party. Place a 'Sunscreen Station' that obliges the unprepared guests and adds to your thoughtfulness. Put up a personalized Bar Menu, throw in some towels and name tags themed for the day and people are gonna love your party at the first look itself.

      Favors for fun: Well if all that wasn’t enough, the super host that you are - Give out some witty themed favors that would leave your guests with special memories. Choose from the clever Popsicle shaped soap bars or the pretty flip flop shaped bottle openers from Confettish and see out your party in some style.

Welcome in Style : Coasters are integral… let’s be innovative. What better way to welcome your guests than by saying ‘WELCOME’. Slide a message on a stack of coasters, be the graceful host... and chuckle up the guests on arrival!

Themes are a must… not because it would liven up the atmosphere, but when you can color… why stay white! Go vintage with some themed mugs, & coasters, simple yet pretty centerpieces and jars; or hit the spot with Iced up Oolong in fruit flavors and fix some Lavender icicles on the table to hit back at the summer heat.

Pretty your Favors : No Tea parties can tee off without cups, and… a little tweaking with tea cups can do that in a tactful way. Fix in some wax candles in them if your tea times are evenings. Use them as flower vases for the table. Tea cups may be personalized for your guests and can be fine favors.

Serve it Suave : Serve various teas in a beautifully monogrammed tea box (available at confettish.com), offering a wide variety to all those who like it Green or Herbal. Don't forget the little bites - Try your hands on some innovative recipes of tasty Tea time Sandwiches, dress them on the table in bright weave baskets. Napkins craftily folded as flowers, cupcakes and such will get the hostess a few nice compliments and a sweet, flavorful and ‘Tea-riffic ‘Tea Party.
