Drinks. Trunks. Shrimp. This is how you summer, people!

Who doesn’t love an adult pool party? Let’s discuss how we can get this unforgettable day in the sun off to a great start.
Send out chic invites first to set the mood. To make everything look cohesive, from the décor to the drinks, choose a theme or color palette. Use themed décor to set the vibe. To create a cozy and welcoming ambiance as the sun sets, think about using torches or solar string lights so you don’t have to worry about reaching an outlet. Transform your pool area with floats like swans, flamingos and giant inflatables that make for both great photo ops and lounging.
To keep everyone entertained, plan a couple of engaging activities. The perfect atmosphere can be created by a poolside DJ blasting summer tunes. Arrange a classic friendly water volleyball match, or for something more unique, maybe a floating poker game or a mixology contest.
Gourmet snacks are a great way to elevate your pool day. Think luscious charcuterie trays with fresh fruit platters and jumbo shrimp cocktails. And of course stock plenty of mocktails, cocktails and sodas at a poolside bar.
Set up comfortable areas with lots of towels, umbrellas and extra chairs. Make sure there are plenty of cool, shaded spots to provide some respite from the sunshine for your guests. And truly consider providing a sunscreen station for those who come unprepared.
Pool’s open all day—and night—long. Now, that’s a party!
