One of the most important things that hosts can do for their party guests is help them keep cool in the summer heat and humidity. There are a wide variety of fun and inventive ways to beat the summer heat to accommodate multiple price points. You’ll want to keep guests entertained, but not overexerted.

Waterslide

Inflatable waterslides are an excellent way for your guests to have fun while they’re staying cool and comfortable. Waterslides ae available in multiple heights and styles for children and adults and some are designed to deposit merry-makers directly into a swimming pool.

Cold Treats

Food is an essential feature at any party and there’s a wealth of crowd-pleasing cold treats that are tasty and help keep the body’s core temperature cool. You can choose from frozen juice pops, Italian ice, custard, ice cream and frozen yogurt. You can also rent your own snow cone machine. You might also want to consider milkshakes, smoothies and slushies.

Fan Misters

These are simple, economical, and require nothing more than water and a battery. They have a receptacle that holds water and spritzes a small amount of water through a fan. The water is delivered as a pleasing mist to the face or any other part of the body.

Tent/Canopy

If shade trees are in short supply, a tent or canopy brings welcome relief from the heat. There are even tents that can be air conditioned for particularly hot days or when your guests include young children or the elderly who are most at risk for heat-related problems.

Neck Coolers

Available in multiple colors, the devices are reusable and affordable. Originally designed by NASA, they’re filled with a specialized gel that freezes. Distribute them to guests to wear around the neck to help cool off.

Flavored Water

It’s critical to drink plenty of fluids on hot days. Have plenty of flavored waters to cool and hydrate. Keep alcoholic beverages to a minimum at adult parties. Alcohol works to dehydrate rather than refresh. The same can be true of soda.

Top Coolers for Keeping Your Items Cold

Anyone planning a summer outing will be taking a cooler to keep snacks and drinks cool. You have dozens of brands from which to choose, all with different price points. Different types of activities require a cooler with specific attributes. The first step in obtaining the best cooler for your needs depends on how it will be used.

Hard Shell

A cooler that will be used for camping, on a boat, or for extended outings will need to have a tough exterior of either plastic or metal. If you plan on going camping in wilderness areas where bears, cougars, wolves or coyotes may be in residence, be sure to look for a cooler that’s bear-resistant.

Coolers often perform double duty as a piece of furniture. They may be used as a table, but more often than not they’re used to sit on. These types of coolers are able to support the weight of an individual with no damage. The disadvantage is that they’re heavy to carry and come with a significant price tag attached.

Soft Shell

A cooler for a trip to the beach or a summer picnic won’t need to be as heavy or durable. Coolers with a soft-shell exterior are light, easy to carry, and will keep food and beverages cool for up to a day, depending on the model. This type of cooler can also be used for tailgating parties and they’re relatively inexpensive.

Insulation

The amount of insulation that a cooler has determines how well and how long the contents will stay cold. Hard-shell coolers have more insulation and are built with denser insulating materials than soft-shell coolers. High-end coolers are the best choice for extended stays or if you won’t have access to ice to replenish cooling abilities. It’s also a good idea to look for coolers that have thicker lids.

Size

Keep in mind the types of food and drinks will be stored in the cooler. Some aren’t able to accommodate taller jars or bottles. You’ll also need to factor in the amount of ice the cooler will need to hold to obtain the size that best fits your needs.
