Script design for a sea party idea. Nautical themed party

A birthday party in a nautical style for a child is a fairly universal option. It is perfect for both boys and girls. A narrower theme for a girl’s birthday is a celebration in the style of the Little Mermaid or a fish, and a boy’s birthday can be organized in the style pirate party or Spongebob style. Let us consider a broad topic, since it is the most universal and simplest in terms of its implementation.

Of course, an underwater or beach party wouldn’t be complete without blue, the color of the waves. All its shades are appropriate - from blue to dark blue and turquoise. You can complement the range with green, white, red, purple. If you are going to decorate a pirate ship, use paper or fabric with dark blue or black stripes for decoration.

Well, now let’s learn more about what you can do for a birthday in a nautical style with your own hands.

Invitations

We decorate the traditional version of a rectangular postcard with drawings of waves, algae, and sea inhabitants.

Fish, turtles and seahorses can be drawn, or you can cut them out of colored cardboard and glue them onto a postcard - then we’ll get a three-dimensional detail that will look more interesting.

Well, the options for figured postcards are a shell, a duck, a whale or a mermaid’s tail.

Decorating the room

You can use paper boats strung on a thread as a garland at the holiday. Crabs, jellyfish, and shells also look interesting, which can be cut out of colored paper or cardboard according to a template.

Ordinary paper pompoms turn into sea inhabitants if you attach fins, tails, heads and other details to them.

Chinese lanterns are also good at transforming into inhabitants of the depths. It’s easy to make a fish or jellyfish from such a paper lantern.

We supplement traditional banners with figures of stars, algae, scales, or we make each detail in the shape of a shell or fish.

Balloons can also turn into fish or jellyfish; you just need to add paper tails and fins to them, and add eyes and mouth with a felt-tip pen or marker. And if you don’t have enough time or desire for creativity, stock up on ready-made foil balloons in the shape of a shark or octopus.

You can also make funny octopuses from balloons.

The marine theme will be complemented by a fishing net on the wall, decorated with figures of sea inhabitants. This grid can also be used as a stand for photographs of the birthday boy. Photos can also be placed in small round aquariums, supplemented with shells, sand, and pearls.

Once the walls are decorated, you can think about decorating the ceiling. Strips of corrugated paper imitate waves and create the illusion of being under water. An octopus made from a ball and paper strips also looks funny. Children will surely like this decorative beauty.

We welcome guests

A special sign, decorated in a nautical style, will help inform guests about where the holiday will take place. Also, a path decorated with foil balloons to match the holiday can act as a landmark.

To ensure that guests also match the theme of the celebration, we hand out accessories to them at the entrance - caps, hoops, bracelets. Bracelets with hoops are suitable for girls, and caps are a universal option; you can dress up all your guests in them.

Image of the birthday boy

The boy's outfit depends on the theme of the holiday. If you have settled on a general nautical theme, a sailor suit will do, and if your choice is a narrower theme of pirates or SpongeBob, then choose the appropriate suit. Sailor and pirate costumes can be found at rental stores, and the role of SpongeBob's outfit can be played by an ordinary yellow T-shirt with the image of a cartoon character.

The girl can be dressed up in a mermaid costume or just in a dress that matches the color scheme. Girls really like fluffy skirts and dresses, and a felt crown with pearls or a festive paper cap to match the dress will complete the look.

Letters and numbers

If you are going to decorate the hall with a number symbolizing the age of the birthday person, you can implement these simple options:

You can also make the first letter of the baby’s name or even a whole word in a marine theme:

Festive table

We decorate the table itself with shells, stars, netting, and burlap.

We decorate and disposable tableware. Children will be interested in eating from a plate shaped like a turtle or crab.

Since the child’s birthday is planned in a marine style, seafood and fish dishes will be appropriate as treats. But ordinary cold cuts or salad can also be decorated according to the theme of the celebration - laid out in the shape of an anchor, decorated with pepper octopus, crab-shaped toppers. You can also remember a favorite dish of many - fried octopus sausages. Not very useful, but on a holiday you can)

Candy bar

We also decorate the sweet table in a sea theme. To do this, we choose the background and tablecloth in shades of blue, complement it with a fishing net, paper fish figures, and serve sweets in small aquariums.

Images of lighthouses, boats, anchors, and steering wheels are suitable as toppers. We decorate the tubes with paper skates, stars, and shells. There is a simpler option - we glue small flags onto the tubes.

And of course, at the festival of the sea, we can only have real water from the ocean as a drink) And we decorate the container for it with stickers with octopuses or crabs.

We top the cupcakes with sugar pearls, decorative stars or jelly candy turtles.

The cake can be decorated with a small paper sail, and ordinary macarons are transformed into a shell with a pearl.

And even the usual and not quite festive crackers can be creatively served in buckets with spatulas, and we pour white jelly beans into a small aquarium and call them pearls)

The sweet table will also be decorated with gingerbread cookies in the shape of jellyfish, fish, skates and stars, painted with colored sugar icing.

Cake

A popular material for decorating cakes is mastic. You can use it to make seaweed, shells, fish, scales - this is exactly the kind of cake decor that would be suitable for a sea themed holiday.

Photozone

The memory of the holiday is vivid and beautiful photos Therefore, we pay due attention to organizing the photo zone. The easiest way to diversify your photographs in a marine theme is photo props in a marine style - anchors, lifebuoys, scuba diver masks.

More interesting, but also more complex in terms of self-made option - photo stand. On it you can depict a mermaid with a sailor or with a seahorse, and the most original photo stand is in the shape of a shark’s mouth, with which you are guaranteed bright and unusual photos!

Here are the ideas for a photo zone in a marine style:

Entertainment

A children's holiday cannot be complete without games and competitions. Here is a small selection of activities that will make a child's nautical themed birthday party fun.

Attach your tail

We draw a mermaid or a whale on a sheet of whatman paper, draw and cut out the tail separately. The child's task is to try to attach the tail while blindfolded.

Fishing

For this game you will need a children's pool or a large basin of water, as well as a toy fisherman set with fishing rods and magnetic fish.

The most accurate

Props - a stand with fish and with cut out holes, as well as balls or balls. The point of the game is to get the balls into the holes.

Creative activities

Types of calm, creative activities for children on the theme of the sea:

decorating cardboard fish with pieces of foil, colored paper, beads, stones;
coloring shells with paints. Children will be able to take these shells with them as a souvenir;
face painting in a marine theme. It is advisable to invite specialists who will professionally paint children's faces.

Looking for treasure

For this entertainment you will need a container with sand or foam, and the treasures themselves. The children's task is to find the treasure.

The theme of the sea is an inexhaustible source of ideas for organization have an interesting day birthday or party. Moreover, to organize such a holiday, you can choose the most predictable places or organize a celebration at home.

The main thing is to take into account all the features when preparing a sea party, from the idea to the menu and competitions. We offer several cool options for organizing a marine themed party.

Marine themed party: you are a sailor, I am a sailor

A party or birthday with a ship atmosphere will definitely please both the hero of the occasion and the guests.

It’s definitely fun to organize such a themed holiday directly on a yacht or in a bay.

But sailors in short skirts and brave sailors will also look great at home. The main thing is to create the right surroundings. Stripes, stripes and more stripes. Use a combination of blue and white, complementing and diluting with red.

Build a ladder at the entrance. Let your guests go on deck like real sailors. A real maritime atmosphere awaits them here. Therefore, we hang ropes, make sails, find a place for the helm, portholes and telescope. Don't forget lifebuoys, flags and an anchor.

Entertaining guests interesting competitions marine theme, where you can tie sea knots, tug of war, climb rope ladders, learn Morse code and even scrub the deck.

Be sure to create a seafood menu. No, you don’t have to treat your guests to navy-style pasta.

We will make stuffed shells, shrimp kebabs and moussaka. Believe it or not, the sailors' menu is quite varied.

Therefore, special bagels, which are baked by the cook especially for a coffee break, and always fish, would be appropriate.

Marine themed party: visiting the little mermaid

You can organize a holiday in the style of sea mermaids either at a party in honor or just in honor of girls’ get-togethers.

Here every sea beauty can show off its beauty. The uniqueness of flowing hair, fluffy ponytails, pearls in hairstyles, sequins and sparkles on costumes will help emphasize the unusualness of the idea and the solemnity of the holiday.

Don't forget about the fabulous underwater attributes that we will use as decor. To decorate the room we use shells of various sizes and beautiful corals, treasure chests and strings of pearls.

Let's not forget about the sea inhabitants.

Hang cool fish, seahorses and dolphins cut out of paper on the walls. And also greenery that imitates algae.

How to entertain guests at such a party? Interesting charades and table competitions are suitable. It will be interesting to take part in a quiz where you can jump in bags like in a mermaid's tail, collect shells and jewelry, and carry water with spoons.

Be sure to turn on the karaoke song program - let the sirens compete to see who sings better.

When preparing treats, we focus on vegetable and fruit snacks. And definitely a sweet table.

How can little mermaids celebrate a bachelorette party without chocolate, cakes and desserts?

For dessert, we serve lemonade and fruit water to the little sea creatures, and older mermaids can indulge in champagne and delicious cocktails.

Sea Party: Cruise Trip

If you have long dreamed of a cruise on a beautiful ship on the waves of the ocean, let your dream come true, albeit on a smaller scale.

We are preparing a party in the style of a cruise trip. Write the text of the invitation to a sea party on tickets in the form of small ships. Decorate the room with blue paper pom poms and flag garlands.

Place several fans that will create the effect of a sea breeze and also make the weather vanes spin.

Place perfectly white tablecloths on the tables and place beautiful dishes.

Let hired waiters in formal attire handle the service. The dress code is light, airy outfits that correspond to the concept of traveling on an expensive ship.

For entertainment, offer guests dance competitions, jokes with balloons, and erudition competitions.

Cool pranks involving dressing up and guessing where you will be based on leading questions are suitable.

The menu must include refreshing cocktails and whole baked fish.

Nautical themed holiday: beach party

A beach party definitely involves being close to water. Guests wearing flippers will look ridiculous in winter in an apartment on the 12th floor. Although…

Marine themed festival: in the depths of the ocean

A man is never alone at sea. But in order to fully experience the atmosphere of the ocean, we suggest diving to its bottom.

This is a completely new and mysterious world that beckons with its secrets. Therefore, our party will be full of mystery.

The color of the decor should preferably be deep blue, sea green and green. Flasks filled with colorful sand, huge shells and cool corals will help convey the beauty of the underwater world.

And definitely inhabitants of the underwater world such as sharks, dolphins, hedgehog fish and jellyfish.

Make out balloons cool octopuses or paper garlands in the shape of fish.

Guests' attire can highlight the beauty and diversity of the ocean's color palette. These can be blue suits and shiny, transparent robes. There is also a place for azure, purple and even red and yellow shades.

Sea Party: Fisherman's Feast

If your company is full of fishermen or just fish lovers, organize a fishing party.

This idea is ideal for celebrating or celebrating a fisherman’s birthday. We decorate the room with fishing nets. There is room for a boat, a bouquet of fishing rods, and reeds in vases.

Let's hope that one of the guests will definitely come in high rubber boots. And for the table we definitely prepare baked crucian carp, stuffed pike and royal fish soup.

Sea Party: Video

To immediately set the tone for the event, nautical themed parties, start with the right thoughtful design. Invitation to a sea party should also be consistent with the theme of the party. Depending on what style you have chosen, the invitation may be a ticket to a round-the-world cruise on a huge liner (white narrow envelope, expensive paper, gold embossing), a letter in a bottle (you can choose a small bottle of elite alcohol) or a chest with a map ( a small pirate-style chest can be purchased at a souvenir shop). You can simply send guests a “black mark” (a cardboard circle, black on one side, and on the other with the time and location of the event).

The party venue itself also needs to be decorated accordingly. At the very entrance you should place several posters with different contents, for example, “Give up the mooring lines!”, “All aboard!” etc. By the way, if, in accordance with a previously drawn up scenario, the entire celebration supposedly takes place on the deck of a ship, the ceiling and all the walls should be decorated with a number of fishing nets, in which images of all sorts of inhabitants of the depths of the sea should be placed. You can also attach compasses, maps and a ship's steering wheel. As an alternative, improvised portholes decorating the walls can be used. In order to imitate the seashore, you can use appropriate photo wallpaper or banners, tables with sun umbrellas, and a few scattered inflatable balls indoors. And as decoration, use starfish, shells, various corals, colored oval and round stones. In addition, glasses of respectable size, filled with water and sand, grass, glass balls, floating candles or even fish, would also be appropriate! One way to decorate a party could be to record the sounds of the sea surf and the cries of seagulls in the background.

The dress code for a seaside party is very simple - everything that has to do with the sea! It could be: a vest and cap, a pirate costume, a fisherman or fisherwoman costume, a captain’s jacket, a little mermaid costume, a merman costume, a Neptune costume, or just a swimsuit. You can create your own adventures using, for example, fins, masks and snorkels.

You don’t need to come up with a menu for a seaside party. The basis of the menu is seafood! Prepare fish dishes, boil shrimp, make slices of salted fish. Alternatively, you can make or order sushi! Drink - rum, ale or dark beer!

Accordingly, at a sea party, competitions should be in the same vein. Tug of war, fishing (an artificial fish on a magnetic hook), a competition for knowledge of marine terms, drilling with marine words, a competition for the best sea gait, etc.

We hope that our tips will help you create a seaside party. Good luck and seven feet under your keel!

When we talk about a themed party, first of all we imagine the surroundings, costumes and beautiful decorations. In reality, everything is not so simple. If you decide to have a seaside party, you should stock up necessary materials and accessories.

The first thing you need is different fabric color range, fishing net, burlap, twine, rope and fasteners.

We will tell you in detail how to properly organize your workspace in our article.

Sea party - a great holiday option

The endless blue of the sea, the cloudless sky, the gentle sun and the quiet breeze are simply romantic. A seaside party will be an excellent holiday option. You can decorate a wedding, birthday, New Year and other important days.

REFERENCE! In hot summer months it is better to gather near the water. You can offer your guests a scenario for a pirate party. Or they can play beach volleyball and go swimming. Those who like a quiet holiday will be able to sunbathe on the beach. In general, everyone will take their own from the holiday.

In our article we offer ideas for decorating a sea party outdoors and at home.

We create a marine-themed party with our own hands

Decor

Color selection

This question cannot be answered in a nutshell, so let’s look into it in detail. Decoration should start with choosing a color.

ATTENTION! When decorating a party in a marine style, you can safely use textile drapery on walls, windows and doors. If the nautical themed party is outdoors, secure the fabric between two trees.

Interior decoration

To decorate the sail, take light white fabric, for example, organza or chiffon; the latter option is slightly more expensive than the former. White and soft blue shades are perfect for the sky and clouds.

To decorate the ship style, take twine, burlap and fishing nets. Fix all the material in the form of waves, without pulling too much, to create a sea effect. A fishing net looks great over blue organza.

When throwing a DIY seaside party, don’t forget about the little things. Things like shells, starfish, pebbles, seagulls and crabs should be plentiful. You can get a treasure box, but it's better to hide it for competitions.

Scenario

Determine the main idea of the holiday; if you mix all the styles, it won’t be very beautiful. Here are some common sea party scenarios:

The list of marine ideas goes on, it all depends on your imagination and financial capabilities.

Accessories for a nautical party

All theme nights have things that add up to the overall picture. We tried to compose as much as possible big list clothes in a marine style and various accessories:

All these items are an integral part of a nautical themed party.

If you decide to decorate the ship’s deck, then don’t forget about the photo zone.

It can be designed as a wall with portholes or with a view of the sea. If you don't want to spend a lot of time decorating this area, you can simply stretch blue fabric with a mesh, add shells, stones, a treasure chest and you will get a great seabed.

Invitation to a sea party

According to unspoken etiquette, invitations to a sea party for adults must be sent out two weeks before the event. This is necessary for your guests to think about their outfit.

You can make the invitations yourself or order them from a printing house - this is a fairly popular topic, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

In the text, be sure to indicate the exact place and time of the holiday. If this is a costume party, be sure to indicate this point.

We have compiled a list of invitation design options:

There are a lot of ideas for designing invitations on the Internet; all you have to do is choose and make the desired option.

Marine party: costumes and accessories

To ensure that all your guests dress in the same style, discuss this point with them in advance or indicate this information in the invitations. There are a lot of options on how to dress.

Everything will depend on the style of celebration and appearance. For example, outfits for a nautical-themed wedding and a birthday will obviously be different.

We bring to your attention, the following options festive costumes for a sea pirate party:

What to cook for a seaside party?

ATTENTION! When decorating a table, you should follow the overall design of the interior. It won’t be very nice if you put a strictly set table with starched tablecloths in a cool decor.

For light snacks, it is worth considering sandwiches with sea fish, various seafood and caviar. In addition to fish, there should also be meat dishes on the table, because not everyone prefers seafood. For baking, crumbly cookies in the shape of stars or shells are suitable.

Drinks should be purchased based on the wishes of the guests. For ambiance, you can buy a couple of bottles of real rum, liqueur and tequila. As a delicious end to the banquet, there will be a birthday cake in the shape of a steering wheel or a ship.

Birthday in the style of a nautical party

Depending on the number and age of guests, competitions will differ. For example, children prefer noisy and active competitions, but adults are the opposite. A complex, intricate plot is unlikely to be suitable for the evening; it is worth preparing something light and fun.

We have collected some examples of maritime scenarios:

- The ship is shipwrecked. The natives of the island can only help if the travelers prove that they can be trusted;
- competition between two warships. You can organize a relay race of two teams in the fresh air;
- a journey to a miracle island in search of treasures. This scenario is more suitable for children; use sweets as treasure;
- initiation into pirates or sailors. You can divide everyone into two teams and have a brainstorming session.

REFERENCE! Prepare the soundtrack for the entire party in advance. It is desirable that all songs be thematic about the sea, seagulls and palm trees.

You can find a huge amount on the Internet entertaining games, so there is no point in repeating them now. Choose the most suitable ones for yourself and prepare memorable prizes.

At the end of the games, give your friends gifts and cups in the form of an anchor. As gift souvenirs you can use:

— keychains and magnets in the form of anchors, steering wheels and ships;
— for women, prepare fashion accessories, scarves and jewelry with marine paraphernalia;
- kit chocolates in the form of starfish;
— sets of tea and coffee, a mug with a commemorative pirate sign.

It’s easy to organize a seaside party, the main thing is to take into account all the details and nuances. And then your holiday will be on the crest of a wave.

Cloudless sky, full sails and endless blue warm waves - romance! A bright seaside party is perfect as a theme for birthdays, weddings and meetings on other significant occasions.

It is ideal to gather in nature, preferably near the water. You can play volleyball, swim races, and fight with water pistols. But it will also be very spectacular indoors: in a gray autumn or a boring winter, refreshing summer decorations will certainly cheer up your friends!

The ideas below will be suitable no matter where the sea themed party will take place - at home or outdoors. It’s just that in the latter case, the decorations will need to be mounted not on the walls/ceiling, but inside the tents or on bushes/trees.

Decor

Start your design by choosing a color scheme. The combination of white and delicate blue shades is an airy, elegant decor. Red color is ideal for creating bright accents. To liven up your interior, add blue, turquoise and traditional stripes. Beige decorations and attributes for a marine-themed party - sand and shells, green - algae, palm trees.

Use textiles - drapery on windows, walls, ceilings and furniture. For example, light white fabric – sails, blue – sky, sea. Burlap, unbleached linen, and fishing nets will fit in. The drapery will serve as a backdrop for thematic decorations and will hide inappropriate interior details.

It is better to fix the material in waves, a little carelessly - the vagaries of the elements. The net looks very nice on top of blue fabric or stretched out to dry on the wall. When attaching decor to textiles, take into account its total weight.

Stock up on pebbles, shells, corals, starfish, decorative fish, seagulls and so on. – they are useful for decorating literally everything. You can do something with your own hands - cut it out of paper, print it, draw it. Something to buy in a store for aquarists.

Decide on the main idea: beach, tropical island, undersea world, side of the ship. If you mix everything together, it won't be very stylish. This design is ideal for children, and for adults, the subdued ambience of a seaside party, without an excess of details, is more suitable.

This does not mean that anchors and steering wheels are inappropriate on the “beach”, and that there cannot be fish and algae on the “board of the ship”. Just create an emphasis on the main idea, and use other attributes in moderation, as a festive addition.

decorate chandeliers so that they do not violate the integrity of the picture. The easiest option is to replace the lampshades with round paper lampshades (a penny at Ikea). If you cut it in half and add decorations, you get charming jellyfish.

sisal and ropes fit seamlessly into the theme– use them in compositions, to decorate the table, instead of napkin rings. If the chandelier shades are not removable, you can wrap the horns and the central part with rope. It’s easy to attach decorations such as “pearls”, shells, small pebbles to ropes and rope with a glue gun.

if you are planning to throw a nautical themed party for a wedding or anniversary, use simple decorations to decorate the ceiling. For example, paper lanterns, pom-poms, silhouettes of seagulls on transparent fishing line. Do you want colors and fun? Make garlands of triangles - striped, red and blue, with drawings or a birthday message.

The party can go... down the drain! Surrounded by wonderful corals, graceful algae and scatterings of underwater treasures. Then let seahorses, fish, dolphins, octopuses, squids and other bright living creatures “swim” (the same transparent fishing line) on the ceiling and walls:

hang captain's wheels, lifebuoys, anchors, boats, portholes on the walls, doors, backs of chairs. They are easy to make with your own hands from scrap materials;

You can write jokes and congratulations on anchors and lifebuoys. And with the help of portholes, you can visually expand the space and make the interior more realistic. Print it out, stick it on a piece of cardboard, hang it along the walls;

arrange miniature compositions around the hall, put sailor's attributes here and there:

jars/bottles with sand and pebbles decorated with shells and other decorations inside. Do-it-yourself corals: carelessly stick glue from a gun around the wire blanks, paint them, assemble them into a “bush,” and stick them to the stand with the same gun.

treasures in chests, caskets(in the craft store you can buy cheap beads, rhinestones, “emeralds-diamonds”);

underwater gardens in jars or small aquariums(you can launch a couple of live fish), ship models, sextants, compasses, telescopes, maps. Pirate paraphernalia will also fit in, but don’t overdo it - this is a separate topic. (for reference if necessary)

blue, red and white hydrangeas reminiscent of tropical corals– the most suitable flowers for a sea themed party. Lilies and alstroemeria will fit in. Instead of flowers, you can put crooked decorative branches in bottles;

you can hang “galley” signs at the entrance to the kitchen, “wardroom” above the table with refreshments, a “radio room” above the musical equipment, a “latrine” in a well-known place.

Photozone

If the party will take place “on board a ship,” design the photo zone as a captain’s cabin or deck overlooking the sea. You can print and glue a ship with cut out portholes for faces onto the base. Or put a boat against the wall, against the background of the sky and waves. A simple but effective photo zone - the seabed: a blue background plus algae, shells, fish and other decorations.

Can print out a beautiful sea view and place thematic attributes in the foreground, in artistic disorder. You will get both a photo zone and a set of accessories for taking pictures. Let guests fool around by putting their heads through a life preserver or “knocking” a neighbor’s head with an “anchor” - the memorable photos will be fun and lively!

Invitations

Handing out invitations better than a week two before the event so that guests have time to prepare their costumes (if a certain dress code is expected). You can make an invitation to a seaside party yourself, print a template or buy postcards - this is a popular topic.

Use maritime slang: We moor at berth No. 5 (house number) in the Preobrazhenskaya harbor (street). If, according to the scenario, party guests will undergo a quest, hint at it in the text: “In addition to delicious treats from our cook, an amusing trip to a desert island." Invitation ideas:

sea inhabitants, different or one;
a message in a bottle decorated with pearls and shells;
boat, anchor, lifebuoy;
a shell with text inside (a postcard or a real shell with a card);
a figurine of a sailor or sailor, a cap, a guy and other elements of a naval costume as a form for a postcard.

Suits

To avoid confusion and embarrassment, it is better to discuss with your guests in advance how to dress for a seaside party. There are many options, and the dress code differs depending on the event - for a birthday, a wedding in a restaurant, or just meeting friends outdoors or at home, the same thing is unlikely to be suitable. Additionally, costumes depend on the main idea, if one is defined. We offer options:

Evening or casual wear in themed colors(blue, white, red). And the organizer will prepare decorations and sea attributes for everyone (chest at the entrance).

Beachwear - shorts, light sundresses, pareos. Swimsuits of the listed colors or simply decorated with themed accessories (shells, pearl beads, miniature anchors, starfish). Instead of a headband - swimming goggles. You can put on flippers for fun (and take them off after the photo shoot).

Striped or white shirts, tank tops, T-shirts. Black or blue skirts, shorts, trousers. Peakless caps and caps, guys and other uniform accessories. Cabin boy, sailor, boatswain, captain? Even if it's a naval party, the costumes can be stylized without being too formal (key word - party!).

Simple and informal - denim bottom, striped sailor jacket. It can be artistically torn, decorated with appliqué, dropped over one shoulder, tied in a knot under the chest - add raisins! Many girls have striped T-shirt dresses, they also fit perfectly into the theme.

Thematic images, one way or another connected with the sea: mermaid, Poseidon, fisherman, corsair. Or sea creatures - goldfish, octopus, shark, squid. This costume should be comfortable and light, or wear something underneath so that you can take it off after the photo shoot.

Buy accessories for a nautical party– earrings, bracelets, beads, hair jewelry in a recognizable style. Imitation pearls and algae, shells and mother of pearl, corals, pendants - anchors, steering wheels, etc. Although it is faster and cheaper to make them yourself. Earrings, bases for bracelets and other accessories are sold in handicraft stores.

Menu, serving

Think about where exactly your friends will eat. The wardroom is a traditional feast. Picnic on the beach - lots of shells, sand, starfish, corals. Ship – sail over the table/tables, floor-length tablecloth, blue background.

Prepare dishes that are blue, white and/or red. Cut cards to decorate appetizers, skewers, utensils - steering wheels, anchors, sea creatures. Decorate coasters, boxes, jars and glasses in a nautical style. For humor, you can stick labels “Rum”, “Sea Water”, “Tear of a Mermaid” on the bottles. Serve nuts, chips, dried fish and other snacks in thick paper boats. Desserts can be placed in halves of coconuts, pineapples, grapefruits and other tropical fruits.

The table should be in harmony with the interior of the room. If hand-drawn cheerful decorations are used to decorate the party, then elegant restaurant serving will fall out of the theme, and vice versa.

Prepare light snacks - sea fish, seafood, miniature sandwiches, kebabs, canapés. It is not necessary that the menu consists entirely of seafood; not everyone loves them. Let there be meat dishes on the table, a variety of salads in portions, a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Use seafood as a garnish for some dishes. Bake cookies - stars, fish, anchors, boats and other simple shapes. Cupcakes and other desserts can be easily decorated in a nautical style with icing, sprinkles and fondant.

Any drinks for this themed party will suit the tastes of the guests. You can buy a couple of bottles of rum, make a few tropical cocktails, serve punch in the “ship” (hide a bucket between the cardboard right and left “side”). For a birthday, order a cake in a nautical style - a delicious surprise for the birthday boy and guests!

Entertainment

If children are definitely looking forward to noisy fun, then a sea party for adults can be different, depending on the age of the guests, the morals of the company, the theme and the occasion. Choose games and competitions taking these factors into account.

There is hardly any need to come up with a complex plot for the script. But some idea must be seen so that friends do not get bored. There are many options:

the ship crashed off the coast of the island. The natives agree to help with the repairs. But only after the strangers prove that they are worthy of help. Fun games fit well here;

naval competition between teams of two ships. More suitable for outdoor parties - ball games, sports competitions. But a lot can be adapted for the space;

a trip to a wonderful island with the goal of relaxing and having fun. Welcome aboard, set sail, full speed ahead! Oh, the ship was attacked... it doesn’t matter who (Kraken, pirates, Neptune). To continue the path, you need to fulfill his whims (games). This sea party scenario will end with arrival on the island (i.e. the holiday will continue in free mode);

some kind of quest, as a reward for competitions - part of a treasure map, for example. Or a map, without which you cannot sail to the same island. Or not finding the way home. After all the games, party guests will collect the fragments into a whole map and receive a reward.

initiation/acceptance into seamen. A series of games and competitions on a maritime theme, after which guests will receive some evidence that they are real sailors! Cup, certificate, medal, etc.

Download catchy songs for a sea party– actually about the sea and about summer, vacations, beaches, resort towns. With them, competitions will be more fun, and guests will loosen up faster. Soviet, military, pop, rock, songs from cartoons and films, one way or another related to the sea - there are a lot of options to suit the tastes of any company. Upon request, there are entire collections of music for a sea party, in in social networks– hundreds of songs by request: sea, summer.

We offer competitions that can be included in the script.

Trick (paired, humorous)

The goal is to tie the rope in knot. Don't you know how? But it doesn’t matter how, as long as the knot is as complex as possible. Time – 20 seconds. Presenter: we divide into pairs, one gets involved, the second actively cheers for his other half. When the knots are tied, the leader praises everyone and suggests... giving the “knot” to the second participant in the pair. They need to race to undo what their spouses/friends did in the first stage.

Hole? Nonsense! (team competition)

Option one: two basins with water, spoons. You need to be quicker than your opponents by scooping up water from your basin-boat with spoons into buckets standing nearby.

Second: teams not only scoop up water, but also become mischievous by pouring it into the opponents’ “boat”. Those. Party guests pour water into each other's basins with spoons. At the end, pour it into three-liter jars and compare - whose jar has more water is the loser.

Third: water must be thrown overboard, i.e. the buckets stand at some distance from the basins. You need to carry the water with spoons faster than the opposing team, with minimal splashing on the deck.

Polundra, captain on deck!

Everyone for themselves (a glass), pairs (large glass) or team (the most fun option, two bowls). The goal is to quickly drink the contents through a straw (beer, for example, according to the tastes of the company). Why speed? So the captain is coming! If he notices that the sailors are not drinking tea at all, he will force them to scrub the deck.

And yet we scrub the deck (the captain is not stupid, eh)

Option one: garbage around the hall, small. Two teams or each for himself, party guests wearing large gloves (collecting trash is inconvenient, but fun for that). Why are you wearing gloves? So it's stormy, it's getting colder, or the North Pole is close. Whoever collects the most wins.

Second: relay race, two teams race at the same time. Take a mop and push away the trash (crumpled up newspaper) to the finish line. Possible with obstacles (chairs, water bottles, etc.). From the finish line you simply run back and pass the mop to the next one.
Third: mark the border, throw garbage (balloons, newspapers), distribute mops. The goal is to throw all the garbage onto the opponents’ “deck”. They, accordingly, return it back. After three minutes, count whose “deck” has the least amount of trash.

Regatta

Team (large newspaper boat), every man for himself (small paper boats). Start-finish, race. In order for the boat to “float”, you need to blow on it. The distance is small, otherwise it will be boring and long. The surface is smooth (table without a tablecloth if there is a carpet on the floor).

Sea battle

Draw a ship on whatman paper, cut holes, and place it at some distance from the wall. Above each hole write points for hits (50 points in the sail, 100 points in the center of the stern, 25 points in the edge, etc.). Three throws of the ball, you need to get into the hole. You can compete in teams (sum up the results).

Save yourself, who can!

Two teams, two stable chairs. If you have a lot of guests at your seaside party, you can group several chairs together (but still make it feel crowded). Chairs are lifeboats. The goal is to fit as many team members as possible into them (you can sit on each other’s laps, take someone in your arms, whatever you want). Behind a short time(a minute, for example).

Table games, quizzes (include in the script so that guests can relax a little)

what the word means (sea slang);
Is it true that (facts and myths about everything related to the sea, its inhabitants, the fleet);
team game, take turns remembering sea songs (or simply with the word “sea”).

At the end of the scenario, present memorable awards to your friends. For example, a cup in the shape of an anchor or a model of a boat with a sign without a name (host: now each of you has a ship, name it and set sail - the whole world is open to you!).

Present:

magnets and key rings (anchors, steering wheels, ships, marine life);
decorations and accessories in a marine style;
sets of sweets (there are shells, stars, etc.);
alcohol, sets of coffee and exotic teas (and who else but sailors brought these “treasures” from distant countries?), a mug with a thematic design and a memorable inscription.
