You’ve got the perfect pool—now it’s time to throw the perfect poolside party. Whether you’re planning a summer bash or looking to capture that one-of-a-kind, photo-ready moment for our contest, we’ve got some fun ideas to get you started.
Transform your backyard into a Hawaiian escape with grass skirts, flamingo floats, and pineapple centerpieces. Pass out flower leis at the door and put on a playlist of ukulele tunes as guests sip from fun coconut cups. Hang flame-free electric tiki torches around the pool, fire up the fire pit, and offer children or other guests DIY flower and vine crown kits to keep the island vibes flowing.
Serve chilled in a clear pitcher to show off the layers and colors!
Chutney:
Marinate pork in vinaigrette for 1 hour. Mix chutney ingredients and chill for 1 hour.
Grill pork to 150°F, rest under foil, then slice thinly.
Assemble sandwiches with pork and chutney. Spear with a toothpick or bamboo skewer.
Turn your pool into a glow-in-the-dark dance floor with blacklights, neon LED string lights, and color-changing pool globes. Hand out glow stick necklaces and bracelets as party favors, and invite guests to wear white or neon clothing for max blacklight brilliance. Add a playlist full of high-energy pop hits and techno dance bangers to keep the vibes electric from sundown to splashdown.
Stir ingredients together in a large punch bowl or pitcher. Offer light-up straws, LED-glowing artificial ice cubes, or neon drink stirrers, then serve in clear cups so all the bright colors and accessories pop!
Preheat oven broiler and spread chips on baking sheets, topping with cheese, beans, and onions. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
Remove nachos from the oven and top with mango, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Bring bold summer energy to your backyard with patriotic flair. Think red, white, and blue pool floats, tableware, and towel stacks. String star-shaped lanterns along the fence and add festive red, white, and blue balloon garlands near the snack table. Hand out themed sunglasses or star-spangled beach balls as party favors, and keep the playlist rolling with summer country classics and all-American anthems. Cap off the night with sparklers (handled by responsible grown-ups, of course) and a dessert that screams USA summer celebration.
Mix ground beef with worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Form into 24 mini patties and grill over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add cheese in the final minute and lightly toast the interiors of the buns before assembling sliders and adding classic, all-American burger fixings.
It’s been a long day and a great party. Cap it off with an easy and fun dessert. Unwrap sandwiches and roll the exposed ice cream sides in the patriotic sprinkles.
Freeze again for at least 20 minutes, and serve with a sparkler (responsible adults only!) for that true firecracker finish.
Go ahead and grab that phone, tag @ThursdayPools, share your #MyThursdayPool moments, and let the world see how you live the pool life.
