2. 90’s Throw-back: Bring out the neon, cassette tapes, and all things 90s for a pool party that’s both nostalgic and totally rad. Set the vibe with a playlist full of boy bands, pop princesses, and the unforgettable sound of a dial-up modem. Decorate your pool area with inflatable boom boxes and serve up some classic 90s snacks (Dunkaroos, anyone?). 

📸Photo Booth Integration: Something as iconic as 90’s wardrobe needs to be captured in 360 with a slow-motion photo booth. The best part is you don’t even have to worry about creating a backdrop, girl, you are center-stage!  

‍

3. Mermaid Magic: Why just swim when you can make waves? Transform your pool party into an enchanting underwater world with a mermaid theme. Deck the area with shimmering decorations in shades of aqua, lavender, and sea green. Hand out mermaid tails for guests to wear in the pool, and make sure to include a makeup station with glitter and temporary scales. 

 📸Photo Booth Integration: Our most popular HALO photo booth package will capture all of your beneath-the-sea moments. Hire a Mermaid to pose with your guests for an over-the-top Mermaid Magic experience. 

‍

4. Rosé All Day: Perfect for bachelorette parties during the sunny seasons, a “Rosé All Day” pool party is as classy as it is fun. Keep the drinks flowing with a variety of rosé options—from bubbly to still—and serve them in chic, unbreakable glasses because safety first! Decorate with soft pinks and whites, and don’t forget the floating trays to keep those drinks poolside without the splash. 

📸Photo Booth Integration: With a theme that says nothing but class, keep the upscale vibe going with a GLAM photo booth. Your photos will look stunning in beautiful black and white. Add in a few Rose-themed pool floats and some fresh flowers to create a backdrop and you’ve got yourself a party that’s as Instagrammable as it is enjoyable. Cheers to that!

‍

5. Dive-In Movie: Why end the fun when the sun goes down? Host a dive-in movie night by setting up a projector near the pool and letting your guests float on rafts as they watch. Choose a crowd-pleaser that pairs perfectly with a night under the stars—think classic comedies or nostalgic favorites. Toss out some cozy blankets and set up a snack bar with popcorn, candy, and pool-safe drinks. It's the ultimate way to wind down while still making a splash. Plus, who can resist the idea of floating while watching a flick?

📸Photo Booth Integration: Choose your favorite scene from the movie you’ll be playing poolside and send it to our team. We’ll turn that image into a beautiful Mosiac of all your guests photos. That’s right, you can piece it together on-site for a very interactive experience that carries into your movie theme.

Each of these themes brings something unique to the table (or poolside, in this case), ensuring your next pool party is one for the books!
