Beach Ball Invitations
These beach ball invitations let your guests know that this is going to be a really fun beach party. The invites are handwritten on small beach balls and then can be mailed in these bright blue plastic containers. They can be bought at Oriental Trading - my favorite party store.I've also made inexpensive invites using beach themes stickers and colorful card stock paper. The invitations set the theme for your next pool party. Include clever pool party wording like "Make a Splash at Laura's Beach Party," "Let's have some fun in the sun ..." or "Ocean's of fun at Caleb's Pool" or "You'll have a Ball at Jamie's Beach Party."

Beach party decorations for a kids beach party can be inexpensively bought - be sure to include colorful beach balls, towels, sand buckets, shovels and sand toys.Start your beach party decorating at the entrance to your pool - the pool gate. I always decorate the gate for all of my pool party themes. Drape a colorful beach towel on the gate and then hang a bright colored swim ring on it with some green ribbon. You could also hang a bright colored beach hat or beach bag with a towel hanging from it. Beach Party Ideas
In this picture I simply have 3 blue napkins tucked into 3 bright sand buckets. Place beach toys, small flip flops or sea shells around the buckets.Other beach party decorating ideas include: Use a beach towel as the tablecloth. Hang colored paper lanterns from your outdoor umbrella or in trees near the party action. Set out beach balls and air mattresses or swim rings around or in the pool. Beach Party Decorations Beach Party Food
Place a colored napkin in a new sand bucket. Serve snacks like Goldfish, Chex Mix, trail mix or chips in the bucket. Finger foods are the best beach party food for kids - so include slices of watermelon or fruit kebabs and sandwich cutouts in the shape of a fish or sailboat. Cut up vegetables and serve with a ranch dressing dip. Beach Cupcakes
Beach cupcakes are the perfect dessert for a kids beach party. They can be decorated with sprinkles of crushed graham crackers for sand with a party parasol stick inserted in the frosting. Look for cupcake toppers that are not necessarily made for that purpose. Here is a plastic pelican finger puppet that came in a set that included bright pink flamingos and parrots - perfect as not only cake toppers but serve as fun party favor for kids to take home.

Beach Ball Cake
Here is a simple way to make a two layer round cake into a beach ball cake. Frost the cake with different colors and use a white frosting to make the lines of the beach ball. Put the center of the beach ball off to the side. This beach ball cake picture is compliments of lisacupcakes.com from flickr.com.
Beach Party Games
Our niece went to a friend's beach party and they started the festivities with this beach ball game.Each guest had their name written on a beach ball. The beach balls had all been tossed into the pool. To get the kids into the pool, they were instructed to go find the beach ball with their name on it. The kids took their beach ball home as a party favor. Beach Party Favors
Send the kids home with beach party favors that include a small bag of Goldfish treats, plastic fish finger puppets, squirt fish, a small beach ball, or a fun straw or sunglasses. Use small metal sand buckets and embellish them with the child's name, a beach themed sticker and a little ribbon. In this picture, I tucked a navy blue beverage sized napkin in the bucket instead of tissue paper. For more beach party favor ideas click here:
