What do you if your pool party gets rained out?

If your pool party gets rained out, there are several steps you can take to make the most of the situation:

Option 1: Move Indoors

Indoor Option 1: Move to a Covered Area: Depending on the size of the party, you can organize it in a garage or a covered patio if your place or one of your guests has a covered area large enough. If the place has sliding doors, you can make use of the pool view even when everyone cannot be outside.

Indoor Option 2: Go to an Indoor Pool. If there's an indoor public swimming pool or waterpark nearby, consider moving your party there.

Indoor Option 3: Rent an Indoor Venue: For larger gatherings, you might consider renting an indoor space such as a recreation center, banquet hall, or event venue that can accommodate your guests and provide an enjoyable atmosphere

Option 2: Continue with Indoor Activities:

- Organize indoor games such as board games, card games, or video games.

- Have a movie night or karaoke session.

- Set up a spa-themed pamper party with face masks, manicures, and pedicures.

- Arrange a cooking competition or a themed potluck.

- Have a dance party or musical chairs.

- Enjoy a book club session

- Play indoor basketball or volleyball (if space allows).

- DIY craft session like making bracelets, candles, or custom mugs

Option 3: Embrace the Rain:

- Set up a rain-friendly party area with umbrellas, tarps, or canopies.

- Provide guests with rain gear like ponchos or umbrellas.

- Serve warm beverages like hot chocolate, tea, or mulled wine.

- Play outdoor games that can be adapted for wet conditions, such as rain-friendly versions of tag or hide-and-seek

- Have a bonfire with marshmallows and snacks (only if it is safe to do so).

- Have a splash party in the rain and enjoy swimming in the pool (if it is still safe to do so).

- Capture memories with a fun rain-themed photo shoot

Communication:

- Notify guests about the change in plans as soon as possible, either by phone, text, or email.

- Provide them with information about the alternative indoor activities or the new location if you're moving indoors.

- Ask for their understanding and encourage them to still attend.

Remember, the key is to stay positive and make the best of the situation. With some creativity and flexibility, you can still have a memorable and enjoyable pool party, even if it rains.
