Invite your friends and family to kick off pool season with a themed party for your pool opening this summer. After preparing your pool for a season of swimming, you can create special memories with fun decor and yummy treats.

Have an After-dark Glow Party

Buy a hefty supply of glowing items, like pool toys, signs, decor, and pathway lights that light up the night. There’s food that glows too, like glow-in-the-dark icing and candies that act as both treats and decor.

Try an Under the Sea Theme

Buy or create an underwater backdrop to hang near the pool. String seashells together and hang them for more decoration. Plenty of other options, including pool toys and edible “sandy” centerpieces, like crushed cookies or crackers, can allow you to add the finishing touches.

Put up Pink Flamingos

Flamingo pool toys, garden figures in the lawn, and signs are some of the items to add to your pool party. Don’t forget a large flamingo cutout for the perfect photo-op. Consider giving out small pink flamingo rubber ducks as party favors.

Revive the Wild West

Add a little yee-haw to your yard with a western-themed pool party. Throw horse floaties in the pool, hang horseshoe decor, and use a “wanted poster” as a photo backdrop. Ask guests to show up wearing their favorite cowboy hat and western attire.

Splash Around With Sweet Treats

Honor your sweet tooth by hosting a sweet treats pool party. Use donut-shaped pool floats, hang cupcake decor, and drape candy-shaped string lights on your shrubs. You can even put out snack options like a sundae bar and a donut wall.

Create Christmas in July

Who says you need to wait until December to host a Christmas party? The first step is putting up an artificial Christmas tree in your yard. You can give out Santa hats to add to the theme. Ask guests to bring new items to be donated to a charity or bring school supplies for kids for the upcoming school year. You can donate them to a local school or organization.

Make It a Horror Night

Set up cardboard cutouts of horror movie icons, change the pool light temporarily to red, and make creepy-looking foods. You can also ask guests to come dressed in outfits inspired by their favorite horror movies.
