Planning a beach-themed first birthday party is a great way to give your little one a special day that both you and your guests will remember. Whether you plan to hold the event outdoors or inside, there are plenty of ways to capture the spirit of the ocean and the sand. From decorations to party food and games, here’s how to plan a beach-themed first birthday party that everyone will enjoy.
Beach Party Invitations
The first step in planning a beach-themed birthday party is to send out the invitations. If you’re hosting an outdoor event, you may want to consider sending out beach-themed postcards with a playful message such as “Let’s dive into the fun: [Name’s] First Birthday Party!”. If you’re hosting an indoor event, you can pick up some beach-themed paper invitations or create your own. Either way, make sure to include the date, time and location of the event.
Beach Party Decorations
When it comes to decorations, there’s plenty of ways to bring the beach to your birthday party. Hang a beach ball banner or streamers on the walls. Place beach towels, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs around the room. If you’re hosting an outdoor event, you can add sand and beach toys to the party area. You can also hang up beach-themed posters and signs to help set the scene.
Fun Beach Party Games & Activities
To keep your guests entertained, plan a few beach-themed games and activities. Set up a beach ball toss or have a sandcastle building contest. If you’re hosting an outdoor event, consider setting up a kiddie pool with some beach toys. You can also have a beach-themed scavenger hunt or a sandcastle relay race.
Beach Party Foods
When it comes to party food, there’s plenty of options for a beach-themed birthday party. You can serve up a variety of beach-themed dishes such as shrimp cocktail, fish tacos, and coconut shrimp. You can also provide beach-themed drinks such as a pina colada or a blue Hawaiian. For the cake, you can make a sandcastle cake or a beach-themed smash cake.
Beach Party Favors
At the end of the party, make sure to give your guests a special party favor. Fill beach-themed goodie bags with things such as sunglasses, beach toys, bubbles, and beach towels. You can also include a personalized beach ball or some beach-themed candy.
