Come Summer and the Party People start grooming up for organizing 'cool' Summer Parties. Although they are a great idea for family fun, Summer Parties are not restricted to families alone. Remember old friends, call up your relatives and make your party rock.

Summer Parties need not necessarily be held on Beaches or expensive hotels and Pool sides. You can have one right in your backyard!

Here are two groovy ideas for having your Summer Party.

Indoor Party

Here's how to make the best of an Indoor Summer Party:

1. Make it a 'Beach' themed party.

2. Decorate your interiors based on Beach Themes and use fans, air conditioners, air coolers etc. to keep the room breezy.

3. Move away your chairs and sofas and get some boulders (look-alike cushions will do) and mats.

4. Place a couple of Beach Umbrellas if you can get hold of some.

5. Use a 'Beach scene' wallpaper on a prominent wall.

6. If a projector can be arranged, use it to project a 'Live' Beach scene on a wall.

7. Keep the Dress Code for the party necessarily a 'Beach Theme'.

8. An old surf board will also add to the look.

9. Serve 'Seafood' and lots of cool beverages.

10. As for you yourself, get a special look - how about a Mermaid dress with sequined seashells? Think about it!

Outdoor Party

A lawn, garden, a local park or even your backyard will be a lovely place to host your Summer Party outdoors.

1. Clean Up! Whichever spot you choose, be sure to clean it up thoroughly to avoid any hazards for your guests.

2. Make proper arrangements for ample light and mosquito repellants. Lanterns can be hung on Tree trunks to present a lovely sight.

3. If the party is not on a very short notice, prepare in advance. Build a Garden Pond. It would be the 'coolest' thing to happen to your party!

4. A Garden figure such as a birdbath or a small fountain will complete the picture.

5. You can set up a tent and make your party a 'Camping Party'. You can also have a 'Campfire'.

6. A Game of Treasure Hunt with clues to the prize hidden under small rocks, flower petals, tree trunks etc. will spice up the evening.

7. If you have a musical talent amongst your guests, be sure to arrange for a Guitar or other such musical instrument or request that guest beforehand to come prepared with it.

8. A Gas Barbeque will be perfect for the food.

9. Use paper plates and other such disposable utensils. Place neatly painted garbage cans to dispose these.

10. If you have a swimming pool nearby, a 'Moonlight Swim' will be the perfect finale to your Summer Party.
