‘Did you know that summer is the best season for your health and happiness? Aside from people being more active and eating better, warm weather can improve your sleep and even boost your immune system! With so many health benefits to reap, you definitely don’t want to miss out on getting your daily dose of vitamin D.

What’s the best way to enjoy summer?

Buy Summer Decorations - To give your pool party a relaxed, happy vibe, you need lots of inviting colors. Summer inflatables are a great way to liven up the party atmosphere. Palm trees, beach balls, and flamingos are the perfect addition. Inflatables also make great photo props if your guests want to get the perfect Instagram shot.

Have a Nice Array of Snacks - having a balance of fresh fruit and typical party foods like chips is ideal. If you want to be the ultimate host, buy a bunch of different fruits and create a tasty fruit salad. For salty foods, potato chips, corn chips, and pretzels are always appreciated. Dips like salsa, guacamole, and hummus are healthy and filling.

Don’t Forget Cute Pool Floats - No pool party would be complete without picturesque pool floats. You and your friends will love lounging on classic ice cream, pizza, flamingo, or unicorn floats.

Set the Mood with a Party Playlist - Summertime is all about having fun, so your party needs a playlist full of hits. Streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora have tons of curated party playlists. If you want to build your own, you can take the time to choose your favorite songs. If you don’t pay for a subscription of one of these streaming services, you should claim a free trial before your party. This will keep the tunes playing nonstop so you won’t have to listen to pesky advertisements every few minutes.

Have Cozy Lounge Chairs - Although it’s called a pool party, plenty of people prefer to avoid pools altogether! If you have any friends who want to work on their tan, make sure you have a few cozy lounge chairs that can recline in different positions.

Plan Pool Party Games - With plenty of music, food, and friends, your party is already guaranteed to be a blast. In order to take things up a notch, though, make sure you have a few games prepared if your friends ever want a change in pace.

Take Precautions to Keep Pests Away - Wonderful outdoor parties can turn into a nightmare fast if any bugs try to join the festivities. It’s crucial to take preventative measures to ensure your guests can focus on having a good time instead of swatting pests all day. The most important area of your party is the table where the food will be laid out. To keep your food fresh, try burning some candles with a strong scent. Mosquitos in particular hate citrus, so lemon or orange will do a great job of protecting your food.’ (Source)
