Don't think that your fifth grade pool party days are over once you're an adult. Go back to your childhood years and remember all the fun times you had with your friends during summer. Here's a fun and simple idea to make sure your adult guests have a good time at your pool party--by making sure you have everything prepared for your guests before they arrive.

Difficulty:
 
Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

  • Pool toys and floats

      Make a basket full of items that you think swimmers will need. It is a good idea to prepare essentials like towels, sunblock, lotion, perfume and cotton swabs for the swimmers. Create your own basket/plate out in the yard and bathrooms for easy access. Decorate the products with similar color schemes and scents. The schemes should match the overall atmosphere of the pool decorations.

      For those that need to wash off after swimming, make sure your bathroom is completely stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap and a hair dryer. Not only does your bathroom need to be stocked, but make sure it is clean. It's not always comfortable for guests to shower at other people's homes.

      Keep your guests hydrated. With the sun shining and people sweating, it is easy for them to get thirsty. Keep cool water stashed in the shade or in coolers. You'll be thankful later when people aren't constantly asking you for water.

      It wouldn't be the same pool party without all your childhood munchies. How fun would it be to serve hot dogs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ice cream sandwiches and mini cupcakes to all your guests? You can add any food that reminds you of being a kid. To keep the retro theme going, add curly straws to all your drinks.

      For the swimmers, put inflatable floaters like chairs, tables and balls in the pool. You can even add a net for a game of volleyball. These retro floaters are great for relaxation and games in the pool.
