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.

Summer Time Parties

We love those lazy summer days with plenty of sunshine and outdoor activities. By now, the graduation parties are over, so it's time to think about other kinds of parties. Like a barbeque, maybe?

Outdoor grilling and summer just go together so naturally. Don't we all look forward to those grilled meats, vegetables, even fruits? It doesn't actually require a holiday to have a fun barbeque party. It's fun to celebrate a great summer weekend with a party.

The first step, after your date is set, of course, is to get your invitations sent out. While many people will just do phone calls, it's so much nicer to send out invitations to your barbeque party. Most especially if you are doing one for the 4th of July or Labor Day, or even a birthday party.

Sending out a written invitation doesn't take too much and gives your guests all the information they need right at their fingertips. No more guests who didn't remember the time or the address. Therefore no dealing with last minute phone calls.

Summer party invitations can also help you set the theme for your party. Even with a barbeque party, there can be different themes. Of course my favorite is Old West, but there are plenty of others and the invitation choices can help you find fun ones.

So go ahead and plan that great summer party. This season is too short to let it go by without additional fun.
