It’s the summer and what’s the best party for your birthday? A beach party, of course! But no worries. You don’t have to be at the beach to have a beach party. You can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Invitations

Try to be as creative with your invitations as much as possible, to get your guests really excited for the big day. Write down all the information in a small paper, frayed at the edges if possible, and insert it in a bottle. Cut your paper into the shape of a palm tree or sea shell. Put the invitation in a plastic bucket with a plastic trowel. The list is endless!

Decorations

It’s best to have this outdoors as much as possible. Place sand around the edges of the venue. Buy inflatable palm trees and place them all over the venue. Separate the venue from the rest of the place with tiki curtains. Provide flipflops or leis for all the guests.

Food and Drinks

Serve grilled everything. Burgers, corn, mushroom, hotdogs, basically any food that can be eaten with just the hands. Prepare beach blankets so people can sit on them while munching their food. Or maybe patio chairs. Hand out drinks in colorful tumblers, preferably with little umbrellas on it.

Costume

You can if you want to. Have the girls come in swimsuits, sarongs, sundresses, shirts, shorts and flipflops or sandals. Have the men come in shirts, sandals and Hawaiian-themed shirts perhaps?

Games

Have a pinata and fill it with candies or anything else you can think of. Do the newspaper dance with beach blankets. But start off with smaller blankets or the game will take forever to finish. Hide seashells all over the venue and have a seashell scavenger hunt.

When it comes to beach parties, just be as creative and imaginative as possible. But most importantly, make sure you’re having a lot of fun.
