Invitations: Customize gorgeous online invitations like this Havana Nights party invitation or this pool party invitation to set the stage for your event.

Decorations: Decorate your backyard with Havana party decorations. Incorporate lots of different colors such as aqua, brown, orange, and bright pink in the pool party theme. String lights in your doorways or on patio umbrellas to create colorful illuminations throughout the event. Create a sultry Havana ambiance with flameless candles around the pool.
Attire: In your invitations, request that guests wear "island-inspired" attire like tropical print shirts or dresses over their bathing suits and Cuban Fedoras (straw hats with short brims a slightly curved crown).
Menu: Serve a variety of tropical foods such as mangos, papayas, pineapples, oranges, and coconuts. Other Cuban-inspired foods include quesadillas, taquitos, black beans and rice. For drinks, serve margaritas, mojitos and sangria. Add garnishes such as slices of fruit, mint leaves and sugar or salt on the rims of the glasses.
Music: Play salsa music in the background to get your guests in the Havana party theme mindset. Select music by artists such as Celia Cruz, Jose Alberto, and Oscar De Leon. Move some of your patio furniture before your party to create a dance floor for guests.
Favors: Leave a lasting impression on guests after the party with party favors. Offer guests their choice of handheld folding fans or an exotic flower, such as an orchid, as they leave the party.
