A Beach or Tropical theme party is a very versatile theme. From Birthday Party to company Christmas Party, just about any event can be infused with a little bit of ocean-side fun. Here are just a few ideas that will help you throw the ultimate Beach or Tropical theme Party…

Invitations

Get everyone on board with the theme from the get-go by sending beach-inspired invitations. Forgo the traditional paper card or email invite with something more creative  – If you’re able to hand deliver invitations and want to make a big impression, handmade message in a bottle invites will wow your guests. Scoop a bit of sand into the bottom of a clean empty bottle and pop in a rolled up invitation.

Decorations

Palm Trees, Beach Umbrellas, Picnic Baskets, Beach Chairs with Towels draped over, the odd row Boat Dinghy and Beach Balls dotted around the venue will make it look bright and colourful.

For simple yet beautiful centerpieces look to Mother Nature for inspiration.  A few pieces of driftwood with seashells peppered in between will bring just the right amount of “beachiness” into your table settings without being overly cheesy.

Atmosphere

There’s a lot of flexibility within the beach theme, so you can pick a colour scheme that matches the mood of the party. For instance, a fun, lively night might call for a more tropical theme, with bright pinks, turquoises and yellows setting the energetic mood.

A more subdued event  like an afternoon birthday party or baby shower, might invite a sea glass toned colour theme with soft purples, blues and greens.

A nautical theme of navy, white and red would be the perfect fit for sophisticated party, like a themed dinner party or birthday party.

Catering and Drinks

The classic BBQ is a great choice for meals at a Beach theme party. The guys will happily take over cooking on the BBQ with a Beer in hand! Set some salad up on a buffet table and you’re good to go!

Serve bottled drinks in ice-filled beach buckets or try serving your cocktails frozen for a fun twist on classic tropical drinks. With a few key ingredients and some Popsicle molds, your options are nearly limitless. How about a Honeydew Cucumber Margarita Popsicle or a Mango Mai Tai popsicle?

If summer had an official fruit, it would definitely be Watermelon. Serve up a fruit salad, but don’t hack up your watermelon—use it as a serving dish! Instead of slicing the fruit, cut off the top of the Watermelon and hollow out the insides, preserving the fruit inside for your salad or for other recipes. Fill the hollow Watermelon with your fruit salad, for a serving dish that stands out.

For a more Tropical theme don’t forget about Pineapples which can be hollowed out to make drink holders and perfect to serve fruit salad in.

Entertainers

We have a wide array of Entertainers available for a Beach or Tropical theme party.

Some ideas are…

Tropical Beach Girls or Surf Life Saver Guys and Gals – to meet and greet your guests, have photos taken with them and assist with any competitions or prize giving. These girls are also professional dancers and can do a “focus puller” Beach or Summer themed dance to draw the crowd’s attention to the front for whatever you have to say next. Longer dance shows are also available.

Summer Beach Theme Band – we have a wide section of great dance cover bands to choose from which are ideal for after dinner and they can dress for the theme.

Mechanical Surfboard – a great fun activity for those brave enough to try it. You can organize a prize for the person who can stay on it the longest!

Polynesian and Hawaiian Dancers and Drummers – use these dancers and musicians for some quiet music during cocktail hour as the girls present leis to the guests on arrival and then knock them out with a stunning show of dance, drumming and fire performers.

Open Photo Booth – no party is complete without a photo booth. We can provide a photo booth with a Beach or Tropical Background.

Summer Party DJ –our DJ’s are true professionals and know how to read a crowd.  Guaranteed to keep the dance floor full!
