Are you looking to blare the music and having an all-day dance party on the beach with 50 people or more? Or would you rather have a low-key intimate inner-circle party of only 10? Consider what you want the party to be like and make a guest list of people who fit that. Also be sure to invite guests that will enjoy interacting with each other. [10] X Research source Don’t invite two of your friends who broke off their engagement last year and haven’t spoken to each other since.
Whatever activities you choose, plan them at specific times. Your guests will look forward to their favorite activity and will plan their arrival accordingly. [11] X Research source
Ask for suggestions from your guests if you’re coming up short on music ideas. [12] X Research source Make sure you have a device that can play the music while at the beach. Use a battery-operated device that has a long battery life. Also bring along some extra batteries and/or any electronics needed in order to charge the device.

Politely ask some of your lingering guests for their help. The job will get done faster when more people are contributing. If you have a smaller party, you can probably just put the trash in a trashcan by the beach’s public restrooms and showers.
