I'm having a pool party soon. I am going to invite a lot of people. What are some good ideas for it? (link)

If you can afford to have alot of expensive stuff just have plenty of beach towels and beach balls for guests to use. You can even buy cheap sunglasses to hand out as party favors; this will help put everyone in the pool party mood right from the start. Also, if your party is during the daytime, having sunscreen available for guests is a must.
Decorations. Every pool party needs decorations to help create the appropriate atmosphere. Sea shells and fishnet are two items that can be strewn about on tables, and tiki torches are always popular, especially if the party involves older guests and may go past sunset. Another idea is to partially fill balloons with water and then inflate them with air. They can then be set in the pool to float around and be played with. Colorful streamers and lots of lights will also do wonders for your party's aura.
Music. What is a party without music? For a pool party, it depends on the crowd that will be attending, but Hawaiian music is always a good bet. If you are looking for something more lively, the Beach Boys or other surfing-themed music might be the way to go. Again, be courteous to your neighbors and watch the volume.
Games and Activities. Even if your guests are having a great time just splashing around the pool and chatting it up, it is essential to have a few organized activities planned. Here are some suggestions.
-Cannonball contest
-Water gun or water balloon fight
-Dancing, if age appropriate
-Play Marco Polo
-Out-of-pool games, such as: badminton, volleyball, croquet, or whatever you have room for
-Karaoke
