Top 7 Summer Pool Party Themes

Summer is the season for spending time outdoors and enjoying the warm weather. It's a time when pool parties become a popular way of hosting celebrations. Party planners will be searching for eye-catching decor and supplies to create the perfect poolside event. To be prepared, you'll want to have all the trendy supplies in stock to cater to everyone's needs.

At Mayflower Distributing, we have a wide selection of balloons and other party supplies to match the top seven themed pool party ideas we've compiled. Whether you're creating the perfect display or ensuring you have the party decor your customers will need this summer, we've got you covered.

1. The Great Gatsby

Whether you read the book in high school or watched the movie in theaters, it's easy to see how this theme, which relies on a chic 1920s atmosphere, pairs perfectly with poolside festivities. Pop Culture Sculptures' Great Gatsby-inspired pool party embodied the theme so well that we had to show it to you.

If you want to create a display to mimic this Long Island pool party theme for your customers, you'll need the lavish decor to match. Stock up on black, gold and white party supplies:

Balloons: Latex balloons are perfect for poolside fun. They're available in every elegant shade you can think of, from metallic gold to sleek black. You can also create more unique displays with specialty options like confetti-filled balloons.
Party accessories: Remember to add some shades! For a modern twist on the Roarin' 20s, put out some sunglasses and toss in a few sunglasses-themed balloons for your display.
Extra touches: You may recall the zebra pool float decorating one of Gatsby's parties. While they aren't pool floats, you can pay tribute to the movie's iconic poolside scenery with some zebra balloons of your own.

2. Qualatex Summer Showcase

Balloon art is a simple and fun way to upgrade a pool party. Whether you're learning the basics or a balloon artist extraordinaire, you'll have countless ways to craft a unique display. Look at this super cute idea from Qualatex using QuickLink® balloons to create giant floating balloon dogs! Buy your own QuickLink balloons and make a dazzling summer exhibit with:

Balloon animals: From dogs to swans, balloon critters will uplift any pool party. To stick with the poolside theme, center the display's decor around aquatic creatures.
Balloon columns: What's a showcase without a few balloon columns? Pick up a column kit supplies and make a sunny summer-themed column with a smiley-face balloon and smaller yellow balloons for the rays. You can decorate your column using colors like baby blue, pink, orange and red to complete the summery palette.
Balloon flowers: Make your customer's summer blossom by offering balloon flowers! Sunflowers are a fantastic pick, thanks to their radiance and positive vibes.

3. Flamingo Festivities

Flamingos are always in fashion, especially when they're 5 feet tall. Create the perfect fusion of pizzazz and beauty with flamingo-themed balloons. These are stylish birds that your customers will want to add to their summer pool party decorations for:

Birthday parties: Flamingo birthday-themed balloons set the tone for anyone's special day. Any bird lover or pink enthusiast will see these balloons as the key to celebrating in style.
Get-togethers: Birds of a feather flock — and party — together. These balloons will inspire people to "flamingle" and enjoy themselves.
Baby showers: There's no better way to welcome a baby girl. Flamingos exude the beauty and joy that come with a new arrival.

4. Beach-Themed Pool Party

When we think of summer, the beach always comes to mind. When you can't go to the beach, you can always bring it to you. Creating a beach display will spark some pool decor ideas for party planners who visit your store. You'll want to have beach balls, colorful balloons and floats to cater to your customers' needs.

This theme is a popular choice for kids' birthday parties, so you'll want to add accessories that appeal to them — from plush to character balloons.

5. Tropical Pool Paradise

Create a tropical pool paradise display to give your customers trendy pool decorating ideas. To top off your oasis, try adding:

Tropical animal balloons like toucans and parrots.
Fruit-themed balloons, such as pineapples and watermelons.
Balloons with tropical patterns.

6. Mermaid Magic

For customers looking to add a touch of magic to their mermaid-themed pool party, have plenty of mermaid tails and seashells to brighten up the decor. Be sure to stock other supplies supporting the theme, like mermaid plush for the party planners to give as gifts or prizes for younger attendees.

Thanks to their scale-like appearance, these sequin balloons make perfect accents to the mermaid theme.

7. Rosé All Day

A themed pool party is an excellent choice for brides wanting to celebrate their bachelorette parties during the sunny seasons. One popular theme for poolside bachelorette celebrations is Rosé All Day, which will require pool party decorations for adults. This theme is all about the color pink, characterized by pink floaties, pink drinks, pink balloons, pink dress codes and, of course, rosé.

You should be able to supply party planners with more than enough pink and white balloons to decorate columns, make balloon archways and toss all over the pool to create the perfect rosé-inspired pool party.
