Nautical Party Ideas

There have been a lot of Nautical themes floating around blog land.  From baby showers to home decor, they have me craving summer and a trip to the beach.

Here are some of my favorites:

I love these seashells (and oars) from Completely Coastal that I found via The Little Things:

Although I don't have any beach decor in my house, I think both of these would be fun for party decor.  The board of sea shells would make a great table runner and one strand of those seashells is the perfect nautical garland.

I always love clever ways to label the dishes, and these messages in a bottle from Over Cocktails work as cute place cards too:

And lots of fun ideas from Frost Me, like these fun edible boats:

Melons with place card sails and veggies filled with tuna salad with sails made from lettuce and cheese.

LOVE these ribbon napkin rings from Social Couture (that can be EASILY replicated and used for all sorts of fun things just by changing out the color of ribbon:

And these boats are cute, but what I really love are the life preservers made from Lifesavers candy:
