A nautical themed party is a huge trend now. And there are ways that you can make it a tasteful nautical themed party.
Party Colors – Of course, stick with the traditional colors of the sea. Choose navy and white and an accent of red for your party colors. When hosting this party, stick with the traditional colors.
Party Decorations – If this is a kid's birthday party, consider placing fun sail boats out as party decorations and using seashells. Get really creative and make an actual sailboat out of cardboard boxes. Kids can get in it and take fun pictures. However, if this is for an adult party, create some unique rope centerpieces. You can use rope, anchors and classic starfish as part of your party decor. Use clean, white table linens and place blue and white floral centerpieces on the table. Keep it simple and classic and you'll have a tasteful party.
Party Food – Keep it with the theme and choose seafood as your food of choice. Serve shrimp cocktail, crab stuffed mushrooms or crab cakes. However, everyone is not a fan of seafood. Therefore, serve up light and refreshing appetizers. A caprese salad or bruschetta would be nice. Just remember, keep it light, refreshing and of the sea.
When hosting a nautical themed party, stick with the traditional decor and food. That's how you can throw a tasteful party. Think vintage, rustic and of the ocean. Sail boats are known for being classic, so stay with that theme.
Hope this was helpful and that you enjoy your nautical themed party!
Party Tip – Always keep with the theme. If it is a traditional and classic party theme, keep things simple. However, if you are throwing an over the top bash, you can go overboard as much as you want!
