4 Pool Party Ideas for the Whole Family

It’s sweating weather, folks. It’s hot, it’s sunny, the days are longer, and the kids are out of school for a little while longer. It’s summer! Especially here in Florida, this means it’s pool party season. As Orlando’s best pool renovation company, we urge you to make us proud and enjoy the season while it lasts! Before you know it the crisp fall air will be greeting you in the mornings and it’ll be time to either break out the pool cover for the season or kick up that pool heater for a quick swim. Either way, not exactly ideal pool party vibes. 

With that said, don’t just throw any pool party. Shake it up to keep it interesting! Don’t treat it like another day by the pool with guests, get creative! Here are some fun ideas to get you started planning the perfect pool party to end the season with:

This one has so many different routes you could take! Maybe consider a jungle themed party and amp up your backyard vegetation, offer face painting for the kiddos, lay down fake turf, and take advantage of the look of a natural stone pool deck. Additionally, consider pool resurfacing and pool deck resurfacing to prepare for bare feet running around. Another idea would be an under-the-sea pool party theme, which would allow you to take advantage of any water features you have as decorations and opens up a great opportunity to use pool automation to control the water feature and pool lights to set the scene.

2. Movie night

We love this idea because it can work for kids or adults, or both! Invest in colorful pool lights, a pool automation system to control it (optional, but is a big bonus!), and an outdoor projector and enjoy a movie night while swimming. Doesn’t that sound incredible? pool pump, salt water pool, travertine pool deck

3. For the grown ups

Now if you’re having an adult’s own party, what better way to enjoy your pool than with a Hawaiian-themed pool party? Create a faux tiki bar to have fun making mixed cocktails inspired by beachside tiki bars, and lounge around with your friends and family. A low heat absorption material, such as a travertine pool deck lends itself great to this as you can walk around barefoot, with a cocktail, and enjoy a Hawaiian staycation in your own backyard. Pro-tip; if you have a few months to plan this why not go all out and consider a conversion to saltwater for your pool (it’s healthier than classic chlorine pools anyway) and undertake a small pool renovation project to add features such as a tanning ledge or new pool tiles to your oasis? Beware though, your guests may never want to leave.

4. Color/Character themed

For the rest of the kiddos; go all out with color. Pokemon, cartoon characters, star wars, you name it! Most things our kid’s love have the benefit of having distinct color themes. Utilize pool lights, decorations, and some pool automation to create a safe and fun environment.
