Pool Party

Pool Party Ideas for the Summer

3D Pools and Landscape is a pool design and installation company that desires to see our neighbors in Katy, Fulshear, and the Greater Houston area enjoy the many benefits of having a pool in their backyard. Here in the hot and humid summers of Houston, we know the numerous benefits of having a pool. During the summer months, gathering with a large group of people outside is not desirable for many Houstonians. The humidity can make even a party in shade terrible. This is where having a pool in your backyard comes in handy. Now, you can host a group of people and anytime one of your guests gets hot, they can simply jump in the pool. While pool parties are a fantastic idea for the summer, we’d like to offer our ideas for how to make your pool party the highlight of everyone’s summer.

When hosting a pool party, you might want to consider decor items. Depending on the reason for the party, the decor may be very simple and elegant or could be designed to celebrate your child’s birthday. One idea that is great for kids is to blow up multiple balloons and throw them into the pool. The pool will then be filled with beautiful colors and it will allow kids to have a fun/inexpensive toy to play with when they swim. If you are hosting a dinner party, having an outside table and chair set with decorations is always a nice touch. One of the easiest ways to decorate is to string up lights around your patio so that as the sun sets the lights not only serve a purpose but create a beautiful ambiance.

Pool parties are fantastic opportunities to display your abilities in the kitchen or on the grill! Many people opt to grill out when having a pool party and there is not a single person who would object to that. Most consider grilling hamburgers and hot dogs as they are classics, but maybe you want to step out and be bold! Consider smoking a brisket, ribs, or even smoking chicken breasts for your guests. If you are hosting a bigger party, consider getting the grill going and encouraging everyone to bring their own meat. Either way, grilling out and a pool party always go hand in hand especially if you have your own outdoor kitchen. If you don’t, 3D Pools and Landscape can help you with that as soon as you’re ready. Maybe grilling out is not what you’re going for in the pool party as you plan on hosting a midday party.  Having chilled fruits, veggies, and small snacks can be enough to feed your guests in the middle of the day. Make sure that regardless of when you are hosting your party that you have plenty of cold water for all of your guests!

While most of the fun will happen in the pool, sometimes having other game options for your guests can allow your party to be even more fun. The classic outdoor games are a good option for guests of all ages. The classics include but aren’t limited to cornhole, ladder toss, and washer toss. These games are fantastic for people of all ages and entertain all. Who doesn’t like to watch a competitive game of corn hole or ladder toss? Having a football and soccer ball on hand is another great way of offering more activities for people. These obviously require some backyard space and may not be suitable for all parties. Even if you don’t have much space in your backyard because of your pool, these balls can be used in the pool so have them out anyway! If you have a basketball goal, allow your guests to play in the driveway during the party! Just be sure to have people park far away from the goal.
