Instructions
Gather Paper and Food Supplies
1
Select enough tableware and plastic cutlery for the amount of people you are inviting. It's always a good idea to bring a little extra, just in case. Use disposable products for smooth clean-up. Save money by purchasing supply packs at a party store.
2
Bring serving containers for the food items. Utilize steam pots with chafing fuels and chrome racks for serving hot meals. Select a variety of bowls for salads, snacks and rolls. House bottles and cans in inflatable tiki coolers, and purchase plastic stemware for specialty drinks.
3
Select napkins decorated with beach-inspired accents and fun straws for mixed drinks. Your supplies can complement the beach party and add to the theme. Visit Party-Games-etc.com to buy paper products, decorations and other beach party supplies.
4
Purchase plastic knives, spoons, forks and serving tongs in a variety of colors. Collect vintage mixing glasses to use as holders for the utensils. Place beach mats on folding tables to use as food stations.
Choose Other Supplies for a Beach Party
1
Hunt down a real surf board and catch a cool decorating wave. Place the board on two metal barrels (or any sturdy two items) to double as a dessert or party-favor table.
2
Consider renting items for your beach party. Think about seating, umbrellas, music equipment, tents, bungalows, bar setups and punch bowls. Find everything you need for rental help at PartyPop.com.
3
Buy bamboo garden torches and place citronella candles on tables when the sun goes down. Hang beach-inspired patio lights wherever you can.
Tips & Warnings
Use over-sized, plastic zipper bags to haul your supplies to the beach. This will ensure a sand-free zone for your items. Bring extra garbage bags for post-party tidying.
Select supplies to spice up your bar area. If the party is in your home, tie a raffia table-skirt around the bar and serve drinks in coconut-shaped cups.
