Birthday Party Ideas 101

Whether you’re planning a birthday party, a July 4th. celebration, a family reunion, or a just because it’s summer fun day, here are some ideas to help you plan a super fun pool party.

Catch My Party

You don’t have to have an in-ground pool to throw a pool party. This great idea from Catch My Party uses inflatable pools in your backyard.

Gather up a bunch of inflatable pools from Walmart, Target, Amazon, or other discount store, they come in all shapes and sizes, some even have slides and other fun stuff.

Blow them up and set them up in your backyard. Instant pool party!

Don’t forget pool toys such as beach balls, squirt guns, and bubbles!

Catch My Party

Have a bucket of Sunscreen and Bug Spray to keep guests from getting sunburned and bug bitten. Keep the products on ice, they feel cool when applied.

Catch My Party

Roll up some beach towels and place them in a cooler for guests who forgot their towels.

Using a drink dispenser for the bubble soap keeps things neater and will avoid slips.

Pen & Paper Flowers

I love this idea of serving ice cream in jars, but I’m not crazy about kids + pool + glass; it’s an accident just waiting to happen.

It would be a good idea to use clear plastic take-out bowls with lids instead!

Kandy Kreations

Keep a bucket of frozen ice pops, guests can grab them to keep cool. Tie a small pair of scissors to the bucket handle to cut off tops, nothing is grosser than watching a kid tear it off with his teeth and spit out the little plastic bits!

Kara’s Party Ideas

Fill little sand pails with pool essentials – swim goggles, floaties, beach toys, and bubbles. Easy and inexpensive party favors! Kids can use them at the party then bring them home to use later.

Plan some pool games to keep it fun and organized.
