The kids are going back to school, summer holidays are ending, but summer isn’t finished! Celebrate the fact that summer is STILL HERE for another month and throw a blazing bash this long Labour Day Weekend! Here are a few tips to get the party started.
Music
One of the fastest, easiest things you can do to provide atmosphere to any party is add music! From up tempo dance music for the younger set, to some golden oldie summer rock classics, when your guests arrive they will immediately be in the mood for a groove.
Floaties
Don’t forget the floaties! Pool noodles are a simple, cost effective way to brighten up the pool, and provide some comfortable floating time for your guests! Plus, pool noodles can be jazzed up for any occasion. A little bit of silver duct tape at the end, and you’ve got a lightsaber! Fold over the top of the noodle, and Zip tie it to itself, then you’ve got noodle seahorses for some fun water polo! The possibilities are endless…
Towels
Seems like such an obvious thing, but you won’t believe how many guests forget to bring their own towels! Prepare for your party with a fresh stack of towels, and include a hamper for used towels. This keeps guests happy, and your clean-up to a minimum.
Food & Drink
It isn’t a party without some refreshments. Make sure you keep poolside snacking safe, with no glass containers. Simple fare like cheese & crackers, or a veggie platter, can keep guests happy, without weighing them down for all that swimming. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, and that doesn’t just mean alcoholic beverages! Make sure you have plenty of water on hand, along with the sunscreen to ward off potential sunstroke! Ensure your guests drink responsibly, and keep an eye for safe swimming at all times.
