I have one of those pools and have a few suggestions for you.
I assume there will be drinking? To make entry and exit from the pool simpler for the imbibers I recommend what I do. Get some concrete blocks and stack a simple two step entry. This does a couple of things, makes getting in, easier for everyone and keeps people entering and exiting from one location. Accidents to the walls are most likely to occur with people getting in and out willy nilly and not paying much attention to others doing likewise. It’s watery plastic after all, one slip or bump into each other and down they go with the pool wall, yikes!
When I have drinkers over, I add a second, simpler, single block, on the inside of the pool (covered with an old towel to not abrade the pool). Decreasing the chance of slipping on entry.
Also I would consider only plastic cups for drinks. Skip the floating candles, and avoid pool toys that will get thrown around - someone is sure to dive for it and take out the pool wall. I’d go with kids toys from the dollar store, wind them up and they swim, water pistols, kiddie buckets etc. While you’re there consider some cheap beach towels, good to decorate and sure to come in handy, (especially if you have major spillage!), and you won’t care should they get destroyed!
You might consider some sand too, it’s good for the bottom of the pool, just a dusting. Yeah, I know, long run not a great idea, but one night won’t hurt and will help keep people from slipping.
Also I always use a kitty litter shaped pan, filled with water at the entry steps, for people to step in before entering the pool, it just keeps lots of crap out of the pool, especially in the yard where there is grass and dirt.
Also you won’t have to siphon the water out, there is a drain on the side and it come with an adapter for a garden hose!
Sounds like an awesome party, do take some pictures for us, or, at least update us on how it went!
