Celebrate Independence Day this year with a 4th of July pool party!
We think it’s time to let loose and celebrate the holiday with your friends and family poolside.
Swim ‘N Fun offers these suggestions for bringing sparkle to your party:
•Make sure that your pool and pool deck are ready for the party. Clean up the pool deck, place the furniture, and get ready to party. Then, double check your pool to make sure that it is sparkling clean for your guests. Check the chemicals, sweep it, vacuum it, and run the filter.
•Decorate with red, white, and blue decorations.
•Get ready to grill! The Big Green Egg offers many grilling options for this holiday.
•Don’t forget the side dishes
•Have drinks available (non-alcoholic and alcoholic if you’d like)
•Pool toys and games are always welcome
•Have a patriotic soundtrack combined with good dance music
•Top off the day with desserts
•Set-up a movie screen (a large sheet, wall, or inflatable screen work) and project a movie (Independence Day is a good one) and watch it while swimming in the pool
•Watch the fireworks together
Decorate your yard and pool deck for your party!
Hang red, white, and blue banners, string up lights, use American flags, and have red, white, and blue tableware. For even more fun, paint red, white, and blue stars on your lawn. Check out the directions here, http://www.theconcretecottage.com/2013/07/painted-lawn-stars.html. Don’t forget to stock up on red, white, and blue floats, balls, and tubes too!
