W H AT TO D O : •
Set up beach chairs around your party space.
•
Think warm weather grill-out favorites for the food spread: Burgers and brats, fruit skewers, grilled pineapple, etc.
•
Take the “spiked punch” route for your signature drink.
•
Turn on an old Annette Funicello/Frankie Avalon movie, like Beach Blanket Bingo (muted) for extra scenery.
•
Turn up the temperature to a nice, balmy beach temperature.
•
Encourage guests to wear swimming suits and sun hats (remember to provide a designated space for them to shed their warm outer layers). Provide everyone with leis.
•
Create the perfect spring break playlist. Crank up a mix of smooth (Jimmy Buffett, Yacht Rock favorites, ukulele music) with up-tempo (Pitbull, Flo Rida, 90’s hip hop hits) for that genuine “clubbing in Puerto Vallarta” vibe.
•
Set up spring break games like beer pong, giant Jenga, and Corn Hole (if weather and/or indoor space allows).
