Summer Beach Party Ideas

Summer lovin' had me a blast. We are so ready to hit the sand after the long seasons of winter. Plan a beach party to kick off summer with. Choose an adorable gold and sea glass blue beach flip flop invitation to entice your guests! Tie in the coastal style with glamorous pops of light blue. The tone will be set for everyone to join in a treasured day at the beach!

Create a seaside menu. Make crispy treats in the shape of a starfish attached to stamped popsicles sticks. Curate homemade clam shaped shortbread cookies and lay them on a bed of brown sugar "sand". Waffle cones can be rimmed with pastel sprinkles and filled with popcorn for a fun snack option.

While summer can be steamy, the upside is the warm weather and the chance for a pool party! But don't throw just any pool party. Pull off a stylish and playful Flamingo Summer Pool Party for a darling theme. The sunny color scheme, fun pool trinkets, and tropical party ware create the ideal mix of relaxing and vibrant. We dream of days like these — lounging by the pool with friends and sipping ice cold party drinks. Don't forget to pick up cute flamingo straws to pop into the cups!

Make a giant cupcake instead of your standard sheet cake. A few days ahead, bake pink striped cake pops. Make the most charming pink flamingo cookies using chocolate Oreos and some frosting! Pick up flamingo plates and added beach friendly bowls. Label the dishes with signs, "Flamingo poop" which is actually just jelly beans and "Flamingo Fluff" as cotton candy. Since it was a flamingo party, use lots of pink and grass green, make it tropical all the way!

As a special treat, make jelly belly bags for party favors. They have all kinds of flavors in the happy pool party colors. Add a favor tag labeled "Flamingo Poop" as a funny little joke. This gift will keep them smiling long after they've left the party. Set up a cute backdrop to display wafers and other snacks. Don't forget a photo booth station! Fill it with pink beach balls and bright sand buckets. Pick up some blow up flamingos for the guests to pose with.

If you lean more towards a luxurious beach party, listen up! Host a gorgeous beach day theme. Greet your guests with chalkboard signs, and indigo linens. Have ginger and lemonade margaritas with a tasty seaside menu of a grilled catch of the day and skewers of vegetables.

Anchors away mate! Set sail with a nautical theme. Use cotton rope and bags of sand to construct a table setting suitable for a captain! Sail away with us to celebrate this season's hottest party trend - nautical! With endless ways to incorporate anchors, sailboats, rope and more, this theme isn't going out of style anytime soon! Be inspired. Choose from our stunning stationery and add seashell place settings. Add elegant tablescapes and touches of seaworthy little details.
