An unforgettable Labor Day Pool Party is easy with some helpful advice from the best Pool builder Peek Pools and SpasIf you follow these tips, you’ll have a Labor Day pool party that’s the perfect way to end the summer – one your guests will be talking about well into the fall!
Prepare your pool!
After a summer of fun in the pool, it’s a good idea to give it another scrub before inviting guests over. Make sure your pool is clean and balanced – check the chlorine levels, pH levels and filtration system. Consider having it professionally serviced before the party.
Create a party atmosphere
It’s one of America’s most popular holidays, so celebrate Labor Day festivities with red, white, and blue decor, floating pool lights or lanterns, and even patriotic-themed tableware. Consider where to place lights, balloons, or streamers to set the stage for a fun day.
Also, plan pool games and a festive playlist! A playlist of summer hits and popular favorites will lift your guests’ spirits. A net for pool volleyball or a diving contest with prizes can be great ways to keep your guests entertained at your Labor Day pool party.
Have the best drinks ready and plan a summer menu
Plan a menu with easy-to-eat foods that won’t spoil in the heat. Think grilled burgers or hot dogs, fresh fruit platters, potato and pasta salads, chips and dips, and popsicles! Your guests will want light, delicious summer foods to celebrate the end of pool season. Set up a beverage station with flavored waters, iced teas, sodas, and even cocktail ingredients for guests to sip and enjoy as they please. Don’t forget to stock plenty of ice!
Safety is crucial!
If you have a backyard full of guests for your Labor Day pool party, plan ahead for safety measures. Choose pool water—especially for small children—that will keep swimmers safe in the water. Provide sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of shade for a fun day in the sun. Have first aid supplies on hand in case of emergency or injury.
Let the party go on even when the sun goes down
The fun doesn’t have to end just because the sun goes down! If your party is going to go on into the evening, plan on additional outdoor lighting, cozy blankets or throws, and extra comfortable seating. If you have a fire pit, it’s the perfect place to bridge the party activities by roasting marshmallows for s’mores and gathering to chat.
