It’s May, and you know what that means. That’s right, graduations galore! Graduation parties are being held throughout this month, June, and even July. Whether you or a family member is graduating from college, high school, or kindergarten (although you’re probably not reading this if you’re in kindergarten), many graduates and their guests will agree that a pool party is the best kind of graduation party.
Of course, we’re assuming you have a pool, preferably built by Carlton Pools, a swimming pool company in Lehigh County, PA. And if you do, a pool party is the right direction to take to celebrate one of the most important days of the young man or woman’s life. So start writing up your guest list and be prepared to use these three tips to throw the best graduation pool party of the summer:
1. Decorate, decorate, decorate - Graduations are huge accomplishments. Let your graduate know how appreciated they are for their hard work by going wild with decorations. Pick out a theme for the party, whether it’s tropical themed (palm trees and pineapples), Hawaii luau themed (volcanoes and flowers), retro themed (vinyl records and fun, kitschy signs), or even simply graduation hats and tassels complete with their school’s colors. Make sure to use lights, tiki torches, balloons, and streamers.
2. Grill up some food - Food on the grill will work for almost any type of outdoor party. Graduation parties are no exception. Offer guests anything from barbecue chicken to hamburgers and hot dogs. Another option is to get or make food that fits the theme of your party. Offer tropical fruits like pineapple for tropical themed parties or offer classic cocktails for retro themed party (considering your graduate is of age).
3. Set up games and activities - Use games and activities to keep the graduate and their guests entertained throughout the party. Set up speakers to blast their favorite music as they either dance the night away or play as many games as their little, educated heart can take. Have a contest for best dance moves or play a giant game of Twister.
These three tips will guarantee that you throw the graduation party of the summer. Contact Carlton Pools at 888-372-0102 for swimming pool renovations in Bucks County, PA, or to learn more tips about how to throw a graduation pool party that’s “most likely to succeed”!
