Party Directory
If you live near a nice beach, have a fun party there. If not, you can still have a "Beach" party at a nearby park that has a large sand play area or even in your own yard. Just fill a few kiddie pools with sand, break out the sand toys, the beach towels, and the lawn chairs and create your own beach.
Have an indoor beach party on a rainy or snowy day. Skip the sand, but turn up the heat, turn on the bright lights, play some beach music, and serve summer treats.
Fun Invitation Buy personalized birthday invitations or make invitations in the shape of a sand dollar, starfish of flip flop sandal or write invitation on a bgeach photo post card. If hand delivering invitations, roll paper invitations to fit into a bottle and add some sand and tiny shells for a message in a bottle effect. Remind guests to wear sunscreen, bug repellent, and to wear or bring swim suits, towels, and sunglasses. More Invitation ideas!
