Throwing a good and enjoyable teenage pool party indeed requires some preparation. One of the most important things is if you are doing it for your kids is to listen to them so that you can get an idea about what they want.
One of the most important points is posting the rules and safety instructions. It is good fun having a splash but be sure to keep a check so that no one gets hurt and if there is a problem just draw the person aside and talk it out calmly and sensibly.
Have some party and pool games ready so that everyone can participate and enjoy. Have beach towels and sunglasses handy and they prove really useful. Have music based on your party theme. Beach music would be preferable.
Use real sea shells and net for decoration and use them to drape tables and use bright coloured table cloths. Use hanging strings of light to give a real beach like atmosphere. You can spread up a lot of beach balls and toss them around in the pool, have beach towels lying around as they make convenient place to sit and chat.
Have finger food to eat as it is easily manageable. Chips and candy with pizza is a real good idea. Have citronella candles lighted as they will help to keep the bugs away.
