When August hits there is this sort of frantic feeling of chasing the rest of summer. School is going to start soon, people are preparing and suddenly you just don’t have enough time left. Never fear, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the rest of the lazy days of summer and make sure that you go out with a bang and not a fizzle.
Have a Pool Party
Pool parties are usually the best parts of summer. What tends to be missing when it comes to them is any photographic evidence. No one wants to take the chance of ruining their phone or camera. You can easily set up a photo booth just a tiny ways away from the water danger and then you can keep track of all those who came to play. Props like leis, huge sunglasses, beach balls and sun umbrellas are perfect to give it the whimsical flair you are seeking.
Host a Back to School Gathering
Instead of dreading the school pictures that are right around the corner, get all your friends together to celebrate the beginning of school. Put a photo booth up in the corner and take control of the whole tone of the year. Now you can add props and backgrounds and themes that will be your own. It is the perfect way to kick off the new school year and get you ready for whatever lies ahead.
Plan a Labor Day Party
Most schools go back before Labor Day, making the last weekend of summer a bit of an oxymoron. That’s okay. You can still take advantage of your first three-day weekend of the year. A picnic in the park with volleyball, a BBQ and games can be just the way to make the humdrum nature of school just fall away. Invite new friends and old ones to come and start the year with a bang.
These are just a few ways to get past the end of summer blues. The photos you take will get you through the weeks ahead and remind you that another summer is just around the corner. Whether you are the one going back to school or if you just want to make things fun for you kids, this kind of “end of the summer” bash makes everyone smile.
