MAKE IT CUTE

It’s almost the end of summer, and while that can be a bummer, remember that there’s still a little time left to have fun. Why not have an end-of-the-summer party? Here's how to throw the best last hurrah bash ever. 

Music

Create the ultimate playlist with songs from your summer adventures. Choose tunes that make you remember fun times, big laughs and great friends. Remember to keep it upbeat and danceable—bonus points for super sing-alongs.

Party favors

It may seem like a throwback to childhood birthday parties, but party favors can really give your bash that extra something. Make it super summery: fun sunglasses, lyrics to the music on your playlist, mini inflatables for the pool, customized mason jars to put your lemonade in...the options are endless. The best part? Summer goodies are on super sale all over the place right now.

Food 

Nothing beats a summer picnic. Savor the last slice of the season with each bite of food—we're talking watermelon, burgers, hot dogs, fruit salad, popsicles and ice cream. Anything to create the perfect atmosphere to reminisce on your summer fun. 

Activities

No party is complete without an array of fun activities, tailor-made for you and your friends. Try a scavenger hunt/ trivia game where each clue has to do with something you guys did over the summer, have a karaoke contest, play charades or go swimming. Do everything you’ve wanted to do all summer. After all, it's your last hurrah! 

This end-of-summer bash may be your final farewell to summer, but it can also be one of the most memorable moments of the season. Have fun!
