I make certain that this one is full at all times. After each party, I repurchase everything that was used immediately. Croquet stakes, court twine, croquet rule book, horseshoes. If it's an outdoor party, I set up a croquet field. Guests put their own teams together and start a game every single time.
Plastic pool floats.
I inflate these with a compressor in just a few minutes. I deflate after every party so they don't get sun faded and are like new each party. If I lose any during a party, I make a note and purchase a new one to replace it right away and toss the new one into the container for the next party. Colorful floral decorations go fabulous with a child or an adult party theme. It takes two 20 gallon containers to store them.
