If you’re searching for an idea for a summer night out, look no further than your backyard for the following pool party ideas:
• A colorful Hawaiian luau
• A laid-back beach party
• An exciting movie night
• A festive birthday party
 Hawaiian Luau
Invite your guests on an evening getaway to the Aloha State! Guests should put on their most colorful Hawaiian print shirts. You make leis at the party or buy ready-made ones to welcome your guests. Decorate with bright, tropical colors, bamboo accents and Hawaiian-themed accessories from your local pool retailer, party supply or craft store.
Tropical flowers and Tiki torches scattered across tables and the surface of the pool provide the finishing touches for a magical evening. Ham or pineapple chicken would be delicious main dishes, or treat your friends and family to an authentic pig roast.
In addition, complement the feast with rice and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables reminiscent of a garden paradise.  Beach Party
Who needs the ocean? You may create a beach barbeque party around your backyard pool; Kick back in flip-flops and swimsuits.
- Use the children’s sandbox and build a sand castle.
- Decorate tables with seashells and fish nets.
- Cover chairs with beach towels.
- Use plastic pails and shovels, and even Frisbees, to serve hors d’oeuvres and drinks.
- Float toy sailboats in the pool.
- Grill hot dogs, hamburgers and corn on the cob and serve classic boardwalk food, like popcorn, snow cones and French fries for your family and friends; or go all out with a clam bake, oyster roast or lobster feast!
