Lively ideas for beach party

Feeling bored of organizing a humdrum party? Jazz up your party with the beach theme, be it indoor or outdoor. Many would say “I feel like getting overhauled this weekend”. For them, beach party is an easy, fun-filled way to unwind on a lazy afternoon with friends. Like any other party themes, a little bit of advanced planning and coordination could contribute to the grand success of the party. If you have a swimming pool then it is the perfect spot, or else an inflatable pool at the backyard can do good. When we think about a theme-based party the everything, right from the invitation to the gift bags, should reflect our concept. Let’s check out some ideas for beach theme parties.

Starting with invitations, home-made one would be fine and deliver a personal touch. For beach party invitations, nothing can be as good as shells. Hand-written or computer-printed notes affixed to the shell with the satin ribbon can perfectly covey your message to your guests. Or, motifs of sun glasses, palm trees, surf boards, fish, and hats would also be ideal. Whatever be your choice, send the invitations well in advance, so they make their plans too.

Decoration plays a major role in the success of a party, so you have to pay little more attention while decorating the party space. Bring the beach atmosphere at your backyard with some beach chairs, beach balls, shovels, drift-woods, and surfboard. How can there be a beach with no umbrellas?

Table is the centerpiece of any party, so should be the core of your decoration. Cucumbers, pineapple, citrus fruit wedges, green peppers, along with assorted exotic flowers can enhance your serving table's appeal. Today let your beach towel function as a table cloth. Plastic shell plates and cups are the best choice for serving. Matching cutlery and napkins can provide completeness to the party table.

Now, let see what can be included in the menu. Some easy-to-make summer-fun beach foods are good to serve here. Beach party with no sea food is unimaginable! you could even add grilled hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, marshmallow salad and mixed fruit salad in your menu list. End the list with a watermelon Basket filled with the season's fresh fruits, ice cream, and smoothies. Create shift-bar to serve some drinks like lemonade, iced tea, and beer.

Add more fun and life to the party with some interesting games and activities. Tug-o-war, volleyball, frisbee, backyard bucket brawl, beach blanket bingo, Hula contests, and treasure hunt are few interesting games you could choose from..

Thinking what to wear for the beach party? Swimsuits, shorts, tank tops, muscle shirts, and sandals are good choice. If it is party, then you definitely can't do away with music. Albums of the Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffet, or Bob Marley can set the party mood rolling.

Finally for favor bags, add beach items like sunglasses, sea shells, flip flops, or straw hats to your party supplies list.
