Adult Beach Party Ideas

(Newport Beach, CA)
Although I live near the beach, the weather was lousy so I needed to have the party inside. I decided to have an indoor beach party. I started by getting blow-up beach balls and writing all the party info on the various stripes of the ball. I inflated the balls and hand-delivered them. That got people to thinking. Be sure to tell everyone that it is an INDOOR beach party.
I invited everyone to wear beach attire from swimsuits to Hawaiian shirts and board shorts. As people arrived, I gave them each a party lei.
I hung a huge beach mural on one of my walls to help set the scene. I also used a lot of silk plants and put white lights in them for ambiance. I hung lanterns around the ceiling. I also used lots of balloons and streamers. I put a grass skirt around the table to give it that beach-look.
I served BBQ beef and a variety of lunch meats so people could make their own sandwiches. I also served coleslaw, lots of chips and dips, and fresh fruit.
I put beach chairs and beach towels all around the rooms to give it that beach feeling. I played Beach Boys music in the background.
