The Best Pool Parties for Minnesota Winter

It might seem crazy to throw a pool party in the middle of a Minnesota winter, but it can actually be a lot of fun! With the right planning and preparation, you and your friends can have a great time in and around the pool, even when the temperature is well below freezing. Here are some tips for throwing the best pool party for Minnesota winter:

  1. Make sure your pool is heated. This may seem obvious, but it's essential to have a heated pool if you're going to be swimming in the winter. You don't want anyone getting sick or feeling uncomfortable due to the cold water.

  2. Have plenty of warm drinks and snacks available. When it's cold outside, nothing warms you up quite like a hot beverage. Offer your guests some warm cider, hot chocolate, or coffee to keep them cozy. And don't forget about the snacks! Serve up some hearty soups, chili, or stew to help keep everyone full and satisfied.

  3. Provide plenty of blankets and towels. Even if the pool is heated, people will still need a way to warm up after they get out. Have plenty of blankets and towels available for your guests to wrap up in.

  4. Decorate with winter-themed items. Take advantage of the winter season and decorate your pool area with snowflakes, icicles, and other winter-themed items. You could also add some twinkling lights to create a magical, wintery atmosphere.

  5. Set up a cozy outdoor fire pit. A fire pit is the perfect way to keep your guests warm and provide a cozy gathering spot. Roast some marshmallows or chestnuts, and enjoy the warmth of the fire while you chat and relax.

  6. Play winter-themed games. There are plenty of fun games you can play in the snow or on the ice, such as ice hockey, snowball fights, or snowman building contests. You could also set up a game of winter-themed bingo or trivia inside to keep everyone entertained.

  7. Have plenty of indoor space available. Even if you're planning on spending most of your time outside, it's always a good idea to have plenty of indoor space available in case anyone needs to warm up or take a break from the cold.

With these tips, you can throw a memorable pool party in the middle of a Minnesota winter. Just make sure to plan ahead, and be prepared for any unexpected weather conditions. Stay warm, and have fun!
