Hi, last summer I had a pool party as usual. All you need for this party is warm weather, swimming pool and friends because this party is really inexpensive. INVITATIONS:I took a piece of construction paper and I cut it into the shape of a beachball [circle] and the I took a piece of blue,red and yellow construction paper. I cut the papers so it looks like a beach ball and then I glued the pieces on. Then I took a marker and I wrote information on each triangle thing [time,place,what to bring,ect..] I decorated the invitations by cutting out bathingsuits from construction paper and then i glued it on.  DECORATIONS:Well I already had a build a bear dressed in a bathing suit so I put that as the centerpiece. I bought some balloons[hellium and regular] and I put them outside.[tied them onto things.] Also I took different colours of construction paper and cut out pool party and used sticky tac so it would stay. Took chalk and wrote POOL PARTY on my driveway. You can also get some decorations at the dollar store or something.[decorations are optional that's not what makes the party] ACTIVITIES/GAMES:We did races in the pool, water balloon fight,a game called trafic jam...it's where everybody goes in a corner of your pool and when u say GO! everyone has to go to a different corner and ofcourse we talked and listened to music, I made a playlist on youtube so all the songs would play on it's own [I did it on my laptop so I could put it outside] PARTY SNACKS: We had a sand pale, filled it with ice and put freezes in it, tostitoes and salsa,different kinds of chips,hamburgers,cheeseburgers,hotdogs... I made these check lists so people could check off what they want so not everyone would have the same thing because when the first person says hotdog" then everyone else will copy. We also had orange crush gingerale coke water lemonade...ect CAKE:Instead of cake we bought these graham crackersicecreamsprinkles and chocolate chips so people could make there own. If you want you can get an icecream cake. FAVORS: I didn't give any favors since it wasn't my birthday but if u want u can give everyone a picture of the party or something like that...remember this party isn't supposed to be too expensive. Anyways I hope I helped plan your party. Good luck!  "
