Send Out A Cool Summer Invite Like This One From Tiny Prints!
Summer is the season for parties by the pool. I was recently invited to a birthday pool party for a ten-year-old boy and I experienced what it really means for the guest and the orgaziner to enjoy a summer party to the max.
The highlight of the pool party I attended was the candy floss machine at the very end. The kids all loved it, but the adults took full advantage of it as well.
Pool parties can be tricky to plan, especially if you're worried about pool safety or a budget, but they're always a blast! Just plan ahead, think what you really need or want and send out those invitations!
Chances are, if you're at a pool party with children they're going to lay claim to the refreshing pool. Make sure adults stay cool with tasty summer cocktails at an open bar.

With or without a barman, make sure that you offer plenty of cocktails, chilled wine and beer. Need some recipes? Check out our cocktail page.
Remember to provide refreshments for your under-age guests as well. Include those summer staples like lemonade and iced-tea.
If you're one for tradition, you can't go wrong with barbecued foods for a pool party.
Opting for the BBQ route has several advantages. First, it allows the grill chef to prepare food like beef patties or shishkabobs and marinate chicken or steak ahead of time.
It also makes for great tasting food without the hassle you'd find with a formal menu. Stick with the usual recipes and add your own personal touches for a mouth-watering meal.

Want to make sure you can enjoy the party as much as your guests will? Try a buffet.
One of the greatest advantages a buffet gives a host is the ability to mingle and relax more freely. With that however, a buffet will only succeed if food is placed in a cool area where the summer sun and heat will not reach it.
Prepare food ahead of time and place it in trays that you can simply reheat at the party and make sure that if you are providing salads, fruits or any perishable foods to keep them in a cool, dry place.
