Nautical Ideas

Nautical themes are great for those parties that will reside in a beach area or wish they were in a beach setting! There are a lot of things to do at a nautical party including nautical crafts, games and more. Perhaps one of the best highlights of a nautical themed party is the food.

When you have this theme, food becomes a big focus point. Nautical dishes are often very interesting and foods many people have not yet eaten. As a host, it is a great idea to quaint people with these foods but also have an alternative if they do not like it. Going “over board” on decorations will not be possible as there are endless possibilities for you to create.

Nautical Ideas

Pin the sail on the boat:

This is a spin off on the traditional “pin the tail on the donkey” to give it a more nautical feel. First get a large picture of a boat without a sail. You can download one off the internet. Just make sure it is of good resolution because you would want to print it out on a large sheet of paper. Now stick this picture on a large piece of cardboard. Then stick a picture of proportionately sized sailed on another piece of cardboard and cut it out. Stick a nail or pin into it. At the party give your guests turns at being blindfolded and trying to pin the sail onto the big picture of the boat at the right position.
