Features
-
A pool party usually involves water toys such as "slip and slides." Serving catered food is an option, but most choose to barbecue. Though casual and informal, pool parties can also be a bit more formal with women wearing summer dresses and men wearing slacks or dress shorts.
Considerations
-
Expect to bring a gift if the party is a birthday. Decide what style of dress to wear based on the type of pool party. A skimpy bikini may not be appropriate for a pool party that will involve children, but would be fine for an adult-only evening.
Warning
-
Pool parties can make for pleasant events if everyone is careful and follows the safety rules. Never leave children alone with a pool nearby, whether they are actually in the pool or not. Alcohol consumption is common among adults at parties. This can be dangerous at a party that involves people around or in a swimming pool, so make sure that several people do not drink and keep an eye on those who are consuming.
