Throwing an in-house pool party for any occasion requires proper planning and execution. Luckily, the pool itself does not need much preparation.

**First things first.**

As mentioned above, before we jump on to the ideas for a pool party, it is essential to say that you need to ensure that your pool itself is ready for the event. Clean your pool a day before by running the filters, pumps, salt generators, etc. Ensure that the water is immaculate, with no floating debris. You don't want your guests to feel pukish by the sight of dirty water, right? 

Along with the swimming pool, you also need to check if everything else around it works fine. Check your pool area and clean it beforehand if required. You need to maintain cleanliness and be creative with your decorations simultaneously. Dirty spaces do not appeal to the guest, no matter how unique the decoration is. 

Let us now move forward with the ideas that would help you throw a fantastic poolside party!

**Decor And Theme Planning.**

Choosing a suitable theme would help you create a perfect mood for your party. Theme parties are one of the most trending ideas for Valentine's day. Having a theme party means deciding the colour code, dress code, and other combinations. This would add vibrance and excitement to your pool party. For example, it is a Valentine's day pool party, so you ask your guest to wear reds, pinks, or whites to match the party mood. 

Coming to the decoration of the pool area, you need to remember that The less is the new more. Try to keep the decor minimalistic but classic, with your pool being the centre of attraction. Lots of lights will work in your favour if it is an evening event. Hang a few fairy lights around the plants and the trees surrounding your swimming pool. Buy some red or white balloons and let them float in the pool water. This would give your pool a splash of colour. You can also decorate your furniture by sticking balloons on the chairs and around the fence with more lights. Avoid using too much paper decoration if you do not want to put effort into the after-party cleanup. Just try adding the theme colour to your pool area as much as possible, and you are good to go!

**Food.**

This is one of the most essential characteristics of throwing a party. Your guest would more likely forget the decor you did at your pool party, but they will not forget how the food was! Good or bad, this is on you. Focus on serving the right food according to the occasion and the location at which you are throwing a party. Since this is a pool party, preparing the food beforehand will be ideal. That way, you would not have to worry about attending to your guests and preparing the food simultaneously. 

There are so many options regarding the food ideas for your pool party. It's a Valentine's Day event, so go for serving heart-shaped cakes, chocolates, cookies, and more desserts. You can also incorporate the decided theme in your food. For example, serve red candies, red or pink ice creams, strawberries, basically anything that has red or pink in it! Red wine would be an excellent idea for the drinks to spice things up. Also, it would go just perfectly with the theme of your party!

**Music.**

There is no such thing called a pool party where there is no music! Let your guests groove and feel the music while dancing and singing in the water, having the time of their lives! Selecting what music to play depends on your party's theme and what mood do you want to create in your event? If it is an all-friends party, then upbeat party songs would work the best in lifting your mood and energy on the dance floor. Similarly, if it is a couples' night, play some romantic numbers to create the real Valentine's Day magic between you and your partner. 

However, it is not a hard-and-fast rule that you have to follow anyhow. Of course, you can play whatever music you like, jazz, classical, pop, hip hop, etc. Prepare the playlist beforehand on your iPad, adding as many sons as you want so you don't have to waste your party time searching for songs and keeping your guests waiting for the music to play! 

**Fun And Games.**

Pool activities at parties add a fun element to the event. Of course, you do not want your guests or partner to get bored or fed up by throwing a basic come, eat and go Valentine's Day party. Plan some fun water games for your guests the day before. Just make sure that you stay in the safety circle and plan games that do not cause any physical harm to your partner or other guests. Including card games or board games is a good idea, while for planning drinking games, you need to be a little more responsible for that. For water games, prepare something that does not require a lot of movement. For example, throw-ball or volleyball is a game idea that can be played inside the pool. 

A Valentine's Day party should be sober and cute. So you should keep an eye on your guest and make sure everyone stays safe. If there are children around, you need to let your guests know to be extra careful with the drinks and the pool as it gets slippery due to water splashing. If you are serving alcoholic beverages, please drink responsibly and ensure everyone else does the same.

If you want to spend Valentine's day entirely with your partner and throw a surprise pool party cum date for them, we are going to list some really helpful tips to make your day romantic and one of a kind!

**Candles.**

There is nothing more romantic than involving candlelight at a dinner date. The cherry on top? You have a pool! Add some lanterns around the swimming pool's border. You can also buy some tealight floating candles and make them flow on the pool's water. Trust us; your partner would love the setup!

**Flowers.**

To create a romantic mood, bring a lot of flowers to the table. Red and pink roses would work the best for this reason since roses are the signature flowers that represent Valentine's day globally. Spread the petals inside the pool and let them sail freely along with the candles. You can also decorate the dinner tables with other beautiful flowers like orchids and lavender. Along with a captivating sight, the whole poolside area would fill with a beautiful fragrance. Lovely, isn't it? 

**Cuddly Throws.**

Do not forget to keep some heated towels and cosy bathrobes to wipe yourself up after you and your partner get done with swimming. Place cuddlesome throws or blankets on the sofa to create a relaxing space for cuddling with your partner after swimming. 

**Finger Food And Sparkling Wine.**

It is so attractive to cook dinner for your partner on a date. However, you do not need to overdo this. Cooking simple basic dinners like finger fish, chicken strips, or mozzarella sticks will create a wholesome menu. Keeping a charcuterie board is a fantastic idea. Grab some fruits like strawberries and bananas, some cheese slices, gram crackers, some dark chocolate bars, and voila! Your charcuterie board is ready to serve! End your dinner date with some ice cream and sparkling rose gold champagne. 

## Wrapping Up.
