Choose brightly coloured party decorations for your beach themed party. Search bargain bins at your local fabric store for remnants that can be draped over furniture or use beach towels to cover the floor and create your own "beach".
Set the scene with inflatable toys like boats, beach balls and swim rings, as well as boogie boards and snorkels. Add beach umbrellas and chairs and string up a beach net for a real taste of summer. Coloured leis, beach hats and big flowers look fantastic and help make the party bright and cheerful. Use papier-mâché or cardboard to make fish decorations and hang them around the room. Remember to ask guests to wear bathers, rash vests and sunhats.
Sunny yellow plates or beach themed cups and napkins make great table decorations. Sprinkle the centre of the table with sand, sea shells and plastic animals. Glass rocks will provide a bit of sparkle. Now just add kids!
