You Have to Have at Least One Party

Beach
Dress in shorts and flip flops – play beach music. Have beach balls Frisbees and coconut tanning oil. Have a clambake or a fish fry.

Mardi Gras

Buy a bunch of Mardi Gras beads at the costume store and get people to wear loud clothes. Play some good blues music and serve Gumbo.

Business Active Wear
Here is a unique Backyard Vacation Party Idea - Set up an obstacle course and have your guests arrive in business attire that can be thrashed. It is pretty funny participating in sports in a dress or a suit.

Casino Night
Play cards or throw the dice, whatever you are into.

Chick Flick Sleepover – Dudes Party Outside
Pretty straight forward - crying on the inside and laughing in the backyard.

Chocolate Pot Luck
Have friends and neighbors over for a potluck chocolate dessert party.

Cocktail Reception
Play fancy piano or jazz music. Ask the kids to be servers. Find a piece of red carpet. As guests arrive get people to act like the paparazzi and take pictures of them as they come up.

College Reunion

Get whomever you can from your college to come out and visit.

Brunch
Serve it up in a big way and invite a bunch of neighbors over.

Dinner
Standard old dinner party

Everybody in a Red Dress
I know this sounds a little weird but I have seen this theme work with amazing results.

Afternoon Tea Party
Serve scones with whipped cream, sandwiches with the crusts cut off and an assortment of tasty pastry. Get dressed up.


Fondue
Get cheese, get chocolate, get some meat - some pointy sticks and have a fondue

Independence Day
Pretty straightforward kind of Backyard Vacation Party Idea.

Kiddy Pools
Get as many kiddy pools as possible and whether it is kids or adults - it is going to be a good time.

Lobster
Order some live lobsters from Maine - this one is a little pricy - either keep the party small or ask guests to pay their share

Luau
This one involves some pineapples and some loud shirts. There will be bonus points for figuring out how to roast a pig. Get some Hawaiian music and tiki torches.

Deck Party
Margaritas and...well need I say more? Just make sure them is some Caribbean or Jimmy Buffet Music. Serve Caribbean food.

Pajama
This one is more for the kids but hey whatever floats your boat.

Pizza
Order a bunch of pizza...duh. But if you can add a sporting activity like touch football or a baseball game before the pizza it could be a home run.

Pool
If you have one great Party on - you probably have been doing that for years. If you don’t you can beg a friend who does have one to let you use it for the day.

Potluck from Around the World
Ask people to bring a cultural dish and see what happens.

Potluck Pasta

Have everybody bring over a pasta dish...supply salad and garlic bread. Get some dean martin music and a lot of candles.

Wine and Cheese
Get some wine and cheese and eat, drink and be merry.

Tailgate
Kind of like a real tailgate party but there is no actual game. Just call it a tailgate party for the fun of it. Do all the things that you would do for a tailgate party but do them in your backyard. If there is a game that is just a bonus.
