Summer Pool Birthday Parties for Kids

Birthdays do qualify a holidays in my family. All the kids think their own birthday should be a national holiday. So it's fun to serve them up with a great party, especially for those who have summer birthdays. That's where a pool party works great.

My own birthday is in the winter time, but I have two sisters and 2 daughters with summer birthdays. As a child, I was always jealous when my sisters got to have pool parties. When my first daughter asked for a pool party, all I could do was give in. If I couldn't have one for my own birthday, I would live vicariously through hers.

Not really. But, I did enjoy planning those pool parties for the kids. I enjoyed the sheer delight on my children's faces as they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. And I will do it again in a heart beat.

Summer pool birthday parties for kids are all about that kind of fun that can only be had in the hot days of summer. Of course, we all know there are precautions that must be taken. Plenty of sunscreen is needed for outdoor parties. Arranging activities that are out of the water give the kids a break from too much pool time. And enough of the good snacks for kids to fuel their active bodies.

While swimming, make sure you have lots of floating devices in the pool. That allows the kids to relax a bit while still in the water. And always have enough adults on hand to keep an eye on the kids. No disasters are allowed at a pool party to spoil the fun.

Be sure to let all the invitees know it's a pool party for the kids. Get the kind of invitations that make it easy to know right away. Some of my favorites are highlighted in Children's Pool Party Invitations. Take a look and choose your own favorite. The kids will love it and so will you.
