10 Tips for Throwing a Great Summer Party 

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to throw a fabulous party! Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, a beach bash, or a poolside get-together, a few key tips can help ensure your event is a hit. Here are 10 tips to help you throw an unforgettable summer party.

1. Choose a Fun Theme

Picking a theme can add a special touch to your party. Whether it’s a tropical luau, a retro beach party, or a casual cookout, having a theme helps tie everything together, from decorations to activities.

2. Send Invites Early

Make sure to send out your invitations well in advance. Digital invites are great, but for a personal touch, consider custom-printed invitations that match your party theme.

3. Set Up a Refreshing Drink Station

A well-stocked drink station is a must. Well stocked with a variety of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages so keep every party-goer refreshed! And don’t forget plenty of ice! We love using steel cups or personalized stainless steel cups for a stylish and eco-friendly alternative to disposable cups. Your guests will love having a unique keepsake to take home. Check out Coolie Nation’s custom steel cups for inspiration.

4. Provide Plenty of Shade

Make sure there’s enough shade to keep everyone cool. Set up umbrellas, tents, or canopies to provide relief from the sun. Comfortable seating in shaded areas will keep your guests happy and relaxed.

5. Keep the Food Simple and Delicious

Opt for easy-to-eat, crowd-pleasing dishes like burgers, hot dogs, salads, and fresh fruit. A DIY taco or burger bar can be a fun and interactive option. Don’t forget to accommodate any dietary restrictions so everyone can enjoy! 

6. Plan Engaging Activities

Games and activities can make your party more enjoyable. Cornhole, frisbee, and water balloon fights are great for all ages. For a laid-back vibe, set up a music playlist and let guests dance the night away.

7. Stay Cool with Custom Bison Coolers

Ensure your drinks and food stay cool throughout the day with high-quality coolers. Check out Coolie Nation’s custom bison coolers for a reliable and stylish option. Bonus is these stay cool for a long time, so you can have your cooler ready and set early in the day so you can jump to party mode! 

8. Create a Photo Booth

A photo booth with fun props can be a hit at any party. Set up a backdrop that matches your theme and let guests snap memorable photos. Personalized drinkware like custom steel cups or custom coolies can also make great props!

9. Light Up the Night

If your party goes into the evening, good lighting is essential. String lights, lanterns, and candles can create a cozy and festive atmosphere. Consider solar-powered options for an eco-friendly touch.

10. Give Out Party Favors

Send your guests home with a memorable party favor. Custom drinkware, such as personalized stainless steel cups, makes for a practical and appreciated gift. They’ll remember your fantastic party every time they use their custom cup.
