Relaxing on the beach, on board a ship, on a desert island or in an amazing underwater world? A seaside party offers a large selection of colorful themes for a child’s birthday. Fun competitions and bright decorations will give children a lot of positive emotions!
Decor
Decide whether you should limit yourself to one topic or whether you can combine them all with an emphasis on the main idea. By and large, there is no difference, because this is a children's party, and not a wedding or social reception. We offer design options for any theme as part of a sea party for children:
- hang waves, sandy islands with palm trees, boats on the walls. Cut out of cardboard, paint or glue on top colored paper. Large decorations will serve as a background and hide inappropriate interior elements;
- decorate the ceiling with garlands. Striped triangles, anchors, sailor ties - horizontally. Blue round balls (water bubbles), stars, crabs, fish - vertically, on a transparent fishing line. Very beautiful voluminous jewelry V nautical style– algae, octopuses, jellyfish;
- use in design Balloons . It's inexpensive and always festive, ideal for a child's birthday. Buy foil balloons in the shape of sea creatures. Or glue paper fins, tentacles, tails onto regular balls;
- if a children's party in a nautical style is held on a “ship,” hang anchors, steering wheels and life buoys (cardboard, polystyrene foam, and other available materials) around the room. You can write happy birthday greetings on them and use them as attributes for photography. Portholes with pictures will add realism - print out a round piece and any suitable picture for the “window”;
- ropes and fishing nets decorated with starfish, shells, and fish will fit in. Use blue, white, striped textiles for draping furniture. If this is an island, add green and yellow paints, hang cardboard tropical fruits, monkeys, parrots;
- pour sand into jars, plant artificial algae, throw in pebbles and shells. Decorate the outside of the jars (as if they had been sitting on the seabed for a long time). Place mechanical fish (bath toys) inside;
- organize a photo zone. There are many options for a sea party - a boat or a boat against the backdrop of waves, an island with a palm tree and sea attributes in the foreground, a captain's bridge. Thick cardboard + drawing or printout.
Invitations
An original invitation to a seaside party - an old message in a corked bottle, covered with shells, seaweed and other decor. You can make different invitations for children in the shape of bright sea creatures or fold a piece of paper with text into a boat. The text can be written on a lifebuoy or rolled up and hidden inside a shell.
Suits
Since the party is for children, costumes must be comfortable. The simplest option for boys is jeans/dark trousers or shorts and a striped T-shirt, shirt, T-shirt.
For girls they sew cute dresses in the style of sailors. A regular blue or black skirt with a striped top will also work. Possible at White dress sew blue/red stripes along the collar, hem and sleeves.
Marine accessories for such a suit are a guy and a light cap. It’s easy to decorate a dress or T-shirt with appliqué or sew on accessories - an anchor, a boat, etc. If the theme of the party is beach/island related, bring fins, goggles and snorkels - useful for photos.
In addition to traditional minke whales, a sea party can be attended by a beautiful mermaid, a brave captain, a hooligan pirate, or Neptune himself. Or clown fish, jellyfish, crab and other inhabitants of the ocean depths. Just don’t forget about the baby’s comfort! Alternatively, you can take a photo in a beautiful, but not entirely comfortable suit, and change.
Menu, serving
For atmosphere, you can include fish and seafood in the menu, but only parents will be happy with it. And all the children's attention will surely be attracted by the marine-style candy bar. To decorate it you will need:
- background (sea, island, shells, fish, etc.);
- tablecloth suitable color(sew cardboard crabs, seaweed, corals or steering wheel anchors);
- boxes with thematic pictures;
- striped cupcake skirts;
- cards for skewers and toothpicks;
- dishes of a suitable color (white, blue, red, you can print and glue pictures onto disposable plates and glasses);
- boats made of thick paper, put candies, dragees, crackers in them.
Some Design the menu dishes in a marine style. For example, simple cookie shapes - boats, fish, anchors, stars. It's easy to make shells out of hamburger buns. Sails are made from thin slices of cheese, vegetables, fruits and toothpicks.
Buy striped treats - marmalade, ice cream, marshmallows. Prepare striped jelly and popsicles (freeze in layers). Layer white and blue/red sweets in transparent containers.
To decorate sweets, buy mastic and sculpt sea attributes and inhabitants. Use colored icing and sprinkles. Don't forget drinks - juices, lemonades. And, of course, for a birthday you can’t do without a real sea cake - striped, in the shape of a ship, island or treasure chest.
Entertainment
We offer a scenario for a sea party, including a quest (treasure search) and something like an exam, according to the results of which all children will become real sailors.
For each game or competition, children receive a fragment of an encrypted message. Having compiled all the fragments and deciphered the code, they will find out where the treasure lies. For example, if the treasure is under a palm tree (a cardboard palm tree with a box under it), the message will contain: 12-13-1-5 * 17-16-5 * 17-1-13-30-14-16-11.
To decipher, you need a piece of paper with a numbered alphabet and a pen. Or use Morse code, because the party is in a nautical style (just clearly separate the dots/dashes of each letter so that they do not merge into a solid line).
For preschoolers, simply draw a palm tree (or where will you hide the treasure?) and cut it into several fragments (puzzle). There should be pieces of the message according to the number of competitions.
Leading: I welcome you aboard the “Name”, brave cabin boys! Today, after all the tests, you will become real sailors! Or are you afraid of difficulties?
Children: We are not afraid!
IN: OK then! Let's see if you have enough ingenuity, because a sailor cannot do without it!
Riddles on a sea theme
- I’m not lying at the bottom out of laziness, I’m holding the ship in place (anchor)
- The sailors lift me up, a fair wind blows me up (the sail)
- I burn for sailors in the distance, so that they can see where the edge of the earth is (lighthouse)
- Standing on his bridge, looking into the distance through binoculars (captain)
- Who calls the kitchen a galley and cooks both borscht and compote? (cook)
- The wind blows - we run on the water, in calm weather you won’t see us anywhere (waves)
- Who fell overboard? I don’t panic, I don’t scream, but I immediately fly after him (a life preserver).
IN: Well done, yoongi! You deserve to become sailors. Here is the first fragment of the secret message. If you collect everything and solve the code, you will earn the title of real sailors! But before difficult tests it won’t hurt to eat. Delicious break.
IN: Did you eat and drink? Then listen to my command! By the way, do you know the commands? Are you doing it carefully? After all, without this there is no way on the ship. Need to check!
Dance game
First, the presenter quickly shows how to act. Then the guys all perform commands together to cheerful music.
Don’t forget to download suitable music for a sea party - songs from cartoons, about the sea, summer, etc. There are a lot of them, even if you choose only children’s ones, there will be no problems with that.
To play you need to stand in a circle. The leader stands in the center and, while speaking the commands, also carries them out (to help the children not get confused). Slowly at first, then the teams change faster and faster, randomly.
Set sail! - the guys raise their hands up
Core! - the guys squat
Left-hand drive - everyone dances to the left
Right hand drive - dance to the right
Stern - the circle expands
Nose - the circle narrows
Deck – children pretend to mop the floor
IN: Well done! For accurate execution of commands, you deserve the second fragment of the message. Do you know who the most dangerous enemy of sailors is? Yes, yes, exactly pirates! Will you be able to protect your friends and your ship?
Sea battle
Silhouettes of pirate ships or figurines of pirates on a table in a row. You need to throw soft balls, knocking down targets. For example, 5 attempts each or until they play enough.
IN: How accurate you are! It’s not scary to go to sea with you! Well done! Hold the third fragment. Do you know what happens on the ship after a pirate attack? It's a mess, a terrible mess! And real sailors always maintain order!
Drying the deck
Lots of balloons, dividing tape. The guys are divided into two teams: one removes the starboard side, the other the left. And the “garbage”, while the captain is not looking, must be thrown onto the adjacent side. The children throw balls around for about three minutes, then the presenter evaluates which side has fewer balls (those are great).
Almost all children really like this simple competition, so you can repeat it three times (three rounds to determine the winning team) or just play longer.
IN: OK OK! I see you have plenty of energy - you can easily clean the largest ship to a shine! Here's the fourth fragment, you deserve it. And by the way, it’s time to eat! Pause.
IN: Yoongi, who can tell me why chaos shouldn’t be allowed on the ship? Do not know? And all because someone could trip over a thrown item and fall overboard! So what should we do then? That's right, Vasenka, we need to throw a life preserver. But not just anywhere, but as close as possible to the drowning person! Can you handle it?
Rescue of drowning people
Mop in a bucket, glue a cardboard face to the handle of the mop. Three cardboard lifebuoys. The guys take turns throwing them so that the circle lands directly on the unfortunate “drowning man”.
IN: Congratulations, yoongi! Here's the last fragment for you - put it all together and try to decipher the secret message. If you succeed, you will become real sailors!
The guys decipher the message and find the treasure. Inside are gifts in a nautical style: a set of sweets, puzzles, coloring books or ship models (for assembly) + a medal or cup with a memorable inscription.
The cup can be made from cardboard in the shape of an anchor. You need to cut out two anchors (glue them together) and two ovals for the stand. There is an extra piece of cardboard at the bottom of the anchors - they need to be bent in different directions and glued to the oval. And then glue the oval halves on top to hide the folds. Paint it with gold paint and make an inscription. The stand can be gold or blue.
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 on the necessary materials and accessories.
The first thing you need is fabric of various colors, a 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.
Create a DIY party in a nautical style
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 sea theme party outdoors, secure the fabric between two trees.
Interior decoration
To decorate the sail, take a light one 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 compile as large a list of marine-style clothing and various accessories as possible:
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 seaside party for adults must be sent out two weeks before the event. This is necessary so that your guests 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.

We bring to your attention the following options for 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 the options of 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 prefer 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 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 number of entertaining games on the Internet, 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 take place on the crest of a wave.
