you can decorate with solar string lights tiki torches, or colored paper lanterns, make your own photo booth area and people will use their own cell phones but provide props (big glasses, boas, hawaiian leis, crazy hats, mustaches) smores, chips and salsa, watermelon, fruit skewers, horseshoes. may be cold in evening so have some blankets out for guests. light up hula hoop, playing cards, fun drinks

I suggest you get chicken wings and Vegeta spice mix .It comes in blue packages . Sprinkle chicken wings with it and bbq . Everybody has burgers and hot dogs ...maybe it will be cool if you do something different .

Have someone who can do/act as a DJ or something. Make sure he/she can spice up the party. I'm sure it'll be a total fun.

To kick off summer in a little over a month I am going to throw a pool party at my house with a bunch of friends and people I work with. It is going to be at my house and I want to know now everything I will be needing to plan for to make this a great time! The party will take place after work on a weekend so it won't start until around 9! The ages will range from 16-24! I am planning to grill hotdogs and hamburgers that night for our main food. Any snacks that you think I should have? Also, besides the pool being there what else can we do to have a good time? I have a speaker I can hook my phone up to for music. Also, I have a chimnea for roasting marshmallows! What other foods, drinks, cute ideas to decorate etc should I do? :)

Thanks a million!
