Howzit, bru! So, you want to host the ultimate pool party that’s going to get everyone from Ouma to the little laaities raving for days? You’re in the right place! Let’s dive right in.
Location, location, location
First off, let’s sort out the venue. Make sure there’s enough space for everyone to jol properly. Nobody wants to be elbowing each other for a piece of the action, mos? So, if your backyard is small, keep the numbers low. If your backyard is massive, go big with those invites.
Music to your ears
Now, what’s a party without some foot-stomping tunes? Whether it’s local is lekker with some Mafikizolo beats or international jams like Ed Sheeran, make sure the playlist is diverse enough for everyone’s taste. Trust us, when Gogo starts doing the moonwalk, you’ll know you’ve hit the right note.
Grub’s up
Now we’re talking! No South African pool party would be complete without a braai. Grab some boerewors, sosaties, and for the health nuts maybe even a few veggie skewers. And don’t forget the mielies and garlic bread! As for the kiddos, some hot dogs and slap chips will do the trick. Finish off with a lekker melktert or some koeksisters. Sorted!
Entertainment for the kids and the young at heart
So, the adults are happy with a dop and a chop, but the little ones might need a bit more stimulation. Think about hiring a clown, or setting up a slip-and-slide. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, why not go all out with a piñata filled with sweets? The kids will love it, and the adults will… probably steal some when the youngsters aren’t looking.
Sundowners
As the sun sets and the tannies start gossiping, it’s time for some sundowners. Whether it’s a beer for Uncle Piet or a gin and tonic for Aunty Sue, make sure the cooler box is well-stocked. Hey, you can even throw in some mocktails for the designated drivers.
Hosting the ultimate pool party for kids and adults doesn’t have to break the bank or your spirit. All it takes is a bit of planning, a lot of enthusiasm, and a smattering of South African gees to make it a day to remember. So, don your most colourful boardshorts or bikini, fire up the braai, and enjoy. Cheers!
