Food and Drink

Get Creative with the drinks

You can get creative with your pool party theme, and it doesn’t have to stop at the decor. You can take your refreshments to the next level by putting your drinks in a kiddie pool filled with ice or creating a fun punch container (or “pool water”) 

The best thing about this is that it is super easy to recreate - you may even already have a kiddie pool you can repurpose - a super fun way to incorporate your theme. This is adorable and will keep your drinks cold all day - and if you get too warm, you can always take a dive with the drinks!

Palm Tree pretzels

What better way to dive into your pool party graduation party than palm tree pretzels? This super easy snack to recreate is bound to be a popular summertime dessert!

All you need for this is pretzel sticks, melting chocolate, and food coloring - making it an incredibly affordable pool party snack too! I imagine these on a table full of sweet treats for the celebration. They’re adorable and are sure to be a hit!

“Pool Water” Punch

If you don’t have a kiddie pool or want to make a fun punch for your grad party, this pool water punch is a creative way to bring the theme to your refreshments. The best part, you can make this kid-friendly or 21+. 

You can set this on ice and add gummy sharks or edible glitter to make it even more of a hit with your grad party guests. I think this punch has the potential to be super popular at any pool party and a hit if you’re making it a 21+ punch! Adding the edible glitter will make it sparkle and shine in the sunlight.

A table full of sweet treats for you and your friends to enjoy while celebrating your big day! This table is so cute, and you can customize it to your liking, whether you want candy or donuts, cakes, and other desserts, or you can customize it to be a fruit table. 

There is no shortage of ways to do graduation pool party decorations, and a sweet dessert or fruit table is a great way to give your guests refreshments for summer. If you aren’t sure what to serve, check out our article on graduation party dessert ideas.

Lemonade Station

These glasses of lemonade for your guests are such a unique idea for refreshments, and honestly, who doesn’t want a glass of cold lemonade on a hot summer day? You can add this lemonade stand next to your sweets table or right at the entrance so guests can grab a glass as they walk in. 

I love this idea, and this photo makes me crave some lemonade on a hot June day!

Sunscreen and bug spray station

A sunscreen and bug spray station is a fun way to ensure your guests are staying safe in the sun and bugs - you can put this right at the entrance to your party so your guests can apply their sunscreen and bug spray as they arrive. 

You can still be safe while having fun celebrating your graduation! I love this idea because you’re still staying safe while being outside, ensuring your guests are cared for, and the fun doesn’t have to stop over some mosquitos (yuck).

Cheeky welcome sign

This is a fun way to welcome your friends and family - especially with an Aloha pool party theme. Your guests can grab a lei and apply sunscreen and bug spray before diving into the snacks and beverages!

Plus, a welcome sign like this is sure to be the conversation starter of the party. The greatest thing about the letterboard is you can customize it to your liking, so if this cheeky sign isn’t quite what you’re going for, you can welcome your guests however you’d like!

Simple welcome sign with your school colors

Another way to add a welcome sign to your grad party is by using your school colors as decor. Not only is this a fun way to share with friends and family your school choice, but it makes for a fun selfie! 

I love this idea; you can make this sign say whatever you want. It can have your name and grad year, the school you’re going to or graduating from, and it can have a quote or just welcome in a fun script. There is no limit to your creativity on this one!

Floating pool decor

What better way to decorate for your pool party than with floating balloons - this is such a unique idea and looks incredible for photos! 

You can get colored balloons to match your school colors or reach the aesthetic with white or light blue. I love this look with a pool because it creates an effortless yet luxurious look.

Floating Letters

You can personalize your party even more by adding these giant floating letters to your pool - not only making an incredible photo for social media, but it will be a talking point of your party. 

You can make the letters say your name, the year you graduated, or something like this one, #grad or #graduation - it’s completely customizable!

If you want a more luxury go-big-or-go-home type feel for your pool party, these giant LED letters are sure to be the conversation piece of your grad party. 

These are just as customizable as the floating letters, but if you’re doing a pool party theme without a pool, this is a great alternative!

Summer Flower Photo-Op

I am obsessed with this summer floral wall that’s perfect for photos with friends and family - you can even add #grad or your name and year to the wall to make it personalized and unique to your grad party. 

The best thing about this floral wall is that you can make the flowers whichever color you want, they could be more yellows and greens for a summer feel, or they can be all white or a variety of colors - but how good would this look in photos?
