Hosting The Ultimate Poolside Christmas Party
As the holiday season approaches, why not break away from the traditional indoor celebrations and host an unforgettable poolside Christmas party? At Factory Pool Perth, we believe your backyard should be a holiday paradise. Picture twinkling lights dancing on the water, a beautifully decorated space filled with festive cheer, and the warm laughter of loved ones creating memories together. Here are some tips to create the ultimate festive gathering by the pool:
Theme It Up!
Transform your pool area into a winter wonderland or a tropical Christmas paradise. Whether you prefer the elegance of white and gold or the vibrancy of reds and greens, decorations set the mood. Hang string lights, adorn your pool with floating candles, and place inflatable Santas or reindeer around. Consider a Christmas tree by the poolside, decorated with waterproof ornaments for a unique touch that ties the theme together.
Pool-Friendly Food and Drinks
Keep it casual and fun with delicious finger foods that are easy to eat while mingling by the pool. Create a buffet of tropical-inspired appetisers like shrimp cocktails, fresh fruit platters, mini sliders, or BBQ skewers. For drinks, serve refreshing cocktails, mocktails, and a festive punch that everyone can enjoy. Set up a self-serve drink station with fun garnishes like fresh mint, citrus slices, and colourful straws to make it interactive.
Warm Up the Vibe
Even in summer, nights can get cool. Provide cosy blankets, pool floats, and perhaps a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. Consider a s’mores station for a fun, interactive dessert experience! Set the mood with a curated playlist of holiday classics and summer hits, mixing in some upbeat tunes to keep the energy lively.
Fun and Games
Keep the festivities lively with games suited for all ages. Organise friendly competitions like pool volleyball or floating ring toss, and don’t forget to incorporate a Christmas-themed treasure hunt. Set up a photo booth with festive props like Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and Christmas signs for memorable snapshots. You could even offer a small prize for the best holiday-themed photo!
Safety First
Ensure your guests’ safety by having a designated swimming area, keeping pool toys to a minimum, and appointing a lifeguard if children are present. Create clear boundaries for swimming and activities. Stock up on sunscreen and towels to keep everyone comfortable. Make sure to have a first-aid kit on hand for any minor mishaps.
Personal Touches
Make your gathering special with personalised touches. Create custom ornaments for guests to take home, perhaps featuring their names or a memorable quote. Organise a gift exchange or a secret Santa to add an element of surprise. You could even set up a DIY ornament-making station for guests to create their own keepsakes during the party, adding a fun and creative twist to the festivities.
