If you are throwing a party this summer, you may be looking for a summer theme to consider. One theme idea can be a beach themed party. If you do not want to throw a party at an actual beach, then you can throw this party right in your own box, bringing the feel of being at the beach home!
I have a few ideas that I would do if I were throwing a beach themed party, and I would like to share them. Here are a few suggestions and tips for anyone who is thinking about planning and throwing a beach themed party.
Party Supplies and Decorations.
You can go to party stores or stores such as Wal-Mart and Target to look for party supplies and decorations. You can find beach themed party supplies and decorations. You can also look for themes of other beach related things, such as sand, water, sea shells, fish, and more. If you are looking to do a specific color theme, you can find a sand-like color or light brown and blue, to match the sand and water at a beach. If need be, you can also look for luau decorations that can match in well with your beach theme.
Food and Snacks.
Food will be easy, because you can serve just about anything. If you can, I would personally suggest grilling out if you are cooking anything. This can include hot dogs, hamburgers, or chicken. If you do not want to grill out or cook anything, you can consider sandwiches or ordering pizza. Other snacks can include chips, pretzels, soda, juice, and water. If it is a birthday party, then you can have a beach themed birthday cake.
Sand and Water.
Sand and water can be real easy if you want to spend the money on it. You can get a sandbox for the kids to play in, or adults to build sandcastles and such in. You can also set up a pool for everyone to swim in, and throw a pool party with your beach theme. You can do one or the other, or do both.
Games To Play.
There are plenty of games to play while throwing your beach themed party. You can blow up a beach ball or two and simply bounce them around or play catch. You can also set up a volleyball net for everyone to play with. You can play Tug-of-War. You can even find beach, water, or sea themed arts and crafts for children to participate in, such as creating a necklace out of sea shell beads.
Music To Listen To.
Music can be great for a party, as people love to dance, sing along, or just listen to it as they socialize. There is no real specific type of music you need to listen to at a beach party. Just put on a mixture of different songs and musicians, and maybe even take requests, so that way everyone can listen to something they enjoy.
Throwing a beach themed party can be a lot of fun, whether you do it at an actual beach or right in your own backyard. You can do it however you want, but those were just a few tips and suggestions to help you get started on your beach themed party.
