Nautical Theme
Those of you with summer babies may just be starting to plan and think about your next birthday celebration and the Nautical theme is sweet & cool for little boys, although I think it could be tailored to be a cute girls party theme too!

I hope you enjoy these Nautical finds….

Now for the main cake, you can’t go wrong with a classic white cake stand. It fits into the nautical colour scheme and the scallop pattern on this cake stand reminds me of the ocean- which is an added bonus for this theme.

Another option could be these navy blue stands for either a main cake or other treats:

Decorations
Now onto some decorations & lovely extras! There are just so many great things out there – hope you see something which inspires you!
These buntings are perfect for your Nautical theme:

The deep red paper fan featured here also comes in white so you could definitely combine the colours together for a unique backdrop! The shape of this fan reminds me of a ship rudder which is why I chose it as a great hanging decoration for this theme.

Balloons are still a much loved party decoration and this nautical design is simple and stylish!

How unique and cute is this cloud mobile? It would add a great touch to your Nautical setting and could then be hung in the bedroom after the party!

This fish netting would be fantastic as a backdrop or perhaps even placed over a white or navy blue tablecloth:

These mini tin pails could be used to hold favours or small items such as cutlery or straws or perhaps some small sweets:

Another sweet way of presenting some treats is in these little metal boats. They are adorable!

Now for some extra special items which would really help create a Nautical feel for your party! However obviously your budget isn’t limitless so as I’ve mentioned before I think it’s important to pick special items which could be used again in your home, nursery, playroom etc.
