You don't need a beach to throw a beach party. Start out with your invites; if you don't live near the beach use that for part of the invite! If you make the invite catchy then more people will come. Make sure you send them out two to three weeks in advance.

If you were planning for a large elaborate beach party you could see how much it would cost to move in some sand. If you do that you can set up a volleyball area. Even without sand this could work.

If you have a pool that could also work into you're beach party. You can suggest in you're invite that there is a pool ready to be used. You set a room aside for changing or invite them to come in their swimwear!

For decoration for you're beach party, get some streamers, large balls for the pool etc. if you're party is going to go long into the night string up some color lights and get some Tiki torches to set the stage.

Other ideas for your beach party could be having a set of fruity drinks for people to pick from. If you would like your party to be extra fun then you should offer dinner. If you don't have a large budget ask that you're guest bring a favorite food to share. This will give you a lot of food for everyone to eat. If you still want to add something to dinner, you can provide the meat.

Make sure that everyone has a good time at you're beach party. Most of all have a good time yourself. Find someone to help you make sure that everyone has been served dinner. If you have a pool, make sure that there is someone there always to watch it. With any kind of beach party you can make it great with a few simple ideas!
