Pool Party Themes

Ideas for Pool Party Games, Decorations and Food

Pool party themes provide direction and creative ways to entertain and decorate whether it is a pool birthday party for kids or an adult pool party.

Some themes lend themselves better to just girls, like a flip flop party, others for boys, like a pirate pool party and still others for everybody - like an Hawaiian pool party.

What makes a pool party even more fun is to have floating pool toys that go along with your party theme - like a ride-on shark for a shark pool party or an inflatable octopus for an under the sea party.

Pool Party Ideas 

Pool party themes can transport your guests to an under sea adventure or to a remote Hawaiian island. 

Pool party invitations, napkins, plates, lights, cakes, games floats, and favors can carry the theme from start to finish.

Decorating your pool party becomes easy and fun when there is a theme that provides direction and colors.
