Pool Fun for Labor Day Weekend
July 23, 2018by SEOteamPOOL AND SPA
August is already upon us which means the end of the summer is right around the corner. If you’re considering celebrating Labor Day weekend by throwing an outdoor bash, there are any number of fun things you can incorporate that will make the party memorable.
If you have a pool, well the possibilities expand even further.
Below are just a few tips for throwing a killer, end-of-summer pool party.
Décor is a must
Depending on your budget, you can spruce up the pool party by purchasing some fun, colorful pool floats (Oversized swans tend to be a crowd pleaser.) You can also pick up things like tiki torches and inflatable palm trees. The best part, is that a lot of this stuff may be on sale!
Make sure you have a first aid kit available
No one assumes that an accident will happen, but if something does go awry, you’ll want to make sure you’re covered. Include things like gauze bandages, tweezers, band aids, triple antibiotic ointment, scissors and hydrogen peroxide. You may also want to include a tube of burn cream just to be on the safe side.
Don’t go nuts on the adult beverages
If you plan on serving alcohol at your party, don’t’ go overboard. People tend to become dehydrated in the heat, and dehydration and alcohol don’t always mix well. You should also be sure to have lots of snacks and food available, in addition to a selection of non-alcoholic beverages available for designated drivers. If you notice that one or more of your guests may have overdone it, make sure to confiscate their car keys and call the an Uber when it’s time to head home.
Have extra sunscreen on hand
Sunscreen is one of those things that’s essential, but it’s also one of those things that people can tend to forget. Nothing quite ruins a pool party like developing a candy-apple red sunburn. Be sure to set up a station that includes multiple bottles of sunscreen along with a bottle of aloe.
Don’t leave kids unattended
If small children will be attending your party, make sure they’re being watched while they’re in the pool, even if the kids are wearing swimmies. Safety first, after all! Second, try to discourage kids from running around the pool. If they trip on the concrete, they run the risk of injuring themselves.
