Nautical-themed Party Inspiration: Decor to Drinks

This theme is so popular, it’s a breeze finding party elements (which you can also choose to DIY!) and menu ideas to get this baby shower shipshape.

Nautical-themed Party Inspiration Board from Decor to Drinks

“Ahoy, mateys!” Get guests on board by sending out nautical baby shower invitations (1 – via Basic Invite) at least 3 weeks ahead.

Then, for some DIY ideas, consider decorating a little sailor cake (2 – from Bellenza) yourself with an anchor cutout, bands of ribbon, and colored candies; and setting the party tables (3 – from Bellenza) with themed accents like seashell place card holders (exclusive from the Bellenza SHOP), a ship with lighthouse centerpiece (4 – styled by Bellenza), and a whimsical nautical diaper centerpiece (5 – via Amazon).

And remember, you can use party food and drinks as part of the decor, too! Examples would be cake pops (6 – from Oh Sugar Event Planning) frosted with anchors and a bowl of blue piña colada party punch (7 – from Wishes and Dishes).
