End of Summer Pool Party Tips


As the summer of 2009 is slowly winding down, there are only a few more weekends left to soak up the sun and enjoy the cool night’s breeze. Before you start your back to school shopping or preparing Junior for his first semester at college, why not throw your last summer’s hoopla by throwing a memorable pool party!

Here are some great Pool Party Tips to help you say goodbye to summer and hello to Margaretville:

• A Tiki Bar fully stocked with rum, vodka, soda, beer, and wine is a necessity! Strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas are also quintessential at any successful summer party!

• Lots and lots of tiki torch lights are not only great for a tropical feel, but they deter those uninvited guests- mosquitoes!

• Floating beds and chairs in the pool will invite your guests to kick back as they enjoy their margaritas and drift their worries away!

• Decorate the pool area with palm trees and surround existing fence or patio with holiday lights to soften evening ambiance as you enjoy your evening bonfire.

• Music always sets the mood of your summer bash! Play some Jimmy Buffett, Destiny’s Child and Black Eyed Peas to get the party started for your guests!


Careful planning before the big date will ensure a successful party not only for your guests, but for yourself! You worked hard to make this party happen, so drink up and enjoy your margarita!
