Plan the look

Get party favours

  • Buy guests a little gift to play with at the party or to take home.
  • Plastic sunglasses will immediately give the party's festive feel, while plastic sea creatures can be taken home to play with in the bath.

THE DAY BEFORE

Get the food ready

  • What is a day at the beach without an ice-cream?
  • Homemade ice lollies are an easy, healthy treat that you can make with diluted juice.
  • Simply freeze in ice lolly containers.
