Party Idea – Beach Party

May 7, 2013 by Shellie Wilson

Party Idea - Beach

This Beach party idea is a little extra special as it’s was for my little boy 🙂 The photos are looking a little old as this party was in 2009.

We created a Beach/Pool party for his 1st birthday party and it was lots of fun, even the adults had fun.

I printed surfboards for cupcake toppers and used flip flop shoe keyrings , We also printed off some shark fins to use as cupcake toppers.  I laminated the printouts so they were firm enough to stick into the cupcake and could be washed and re-used if required.

Party Guests were able to keep the shoe keyring from their cupcake if they wanted to and every child got a plastic beach bucket and an inexpensive beach towel to take home.

A beach party would not be complete without a sandpit and giant beach ball so we added those too.

The party food was all about sand, so I used my food mixer to crush graham crackers for the sand, you could use any type of light brown biscuit.

The fruit sticks were a huge hit and I added a Shark Gummy to the top of the lolly sticks.

I decorated the table with thin bird netting which was very inexpensive and small plastic sand molds.

We dressed up in Lifeguard shirts and the kids just wore swimmers.
