The sun is hotter than ever, every body seems to be craving for some ice cold beer or frozen margaritas, people are starting to apply sun screen and are hitting the pool. What does this mean? It just means one simple thing: summer has come.

And when summer has arrived there is only one thing to do: throw a hot summer themed party. How do you do this? Well, first of all, you must decorate your back yard with some blank flags in neon green, lemon yellow, orange, and hot pink. This will make your back yard seems fresh, fun, and ready for summer. You may also use grass skirts instead of table cloths to give your party a novel feel. Some feather flags outside your house will give your guests a preview of all the fun things to come. Have your feather flags customized and put in the name of your party like "Kare's Summer Luau".

Serve a lot of sea food like grilled squid and fish. If you can, serve up some fresh lobsters and sauteed or cocktail shrimps with your favorite cock tail. Mojitos and margaritas work best for summer themed parties because they are not very potent (if you follow the traditional recipe) and are very cool and refreshing; and every body knows how important that can be under the blazing heat of the sun.

To up the summer ante, you may also play some summer themed songs like "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow or Just Go by Lionel Richie. These songs will definitely put your guests in the mood for a relaxing summer party.
