What is a Nautical Theme Party?
This may not be as obvious of an answer as you may think. A nautical theme party can mean different things to different people, especially if you are going to be throwing a nautical theme party. The word "nautical" is technically derived from the Latin word nauticus which means "ship sailor". Also closely related to the word "nautical" are naval, seafaring, seasmanship, maritime, marine, and navigation. All of these terms put together make up the Nautical party theme and the main characteristic is that they all have to deal with operating a boat. The great thing for you is that you don't need to know your port from starboard (sailor speak for 'left' and 'right') to decorate for a nautical theme party. Just combine our
boat decorations in the manner that suits your party theme the best. Below are some of our most popular combinations of nautical party decorations.
Start by decorate with bright primary colors to give your nautical theme party the look of official nautical flags. These flags are used to signal between ships information or to send a distress call. The colors are very simple and most likely you already have some existing solid color decorations that you will be able to mix in to save money. We suggest the
Nautical Flag Whirls and the Nautical Flag Centerpiece to set the mood for your nautical theme. The great thing about using a Nautical specific centerpiece is that you can then add solid color decorations like red plates, yellow utensils, blue cups and it looks like they are also nautical.
The primary colors carry over to one of the most recognizable nautical decorations of all, the nautical ships anchor. This large, but lightweight, plastic anchor is available in a solid gray or an assorted primary color option. Select the gray ship anchor if you are only going to use one anchor in your nautical decorating, and select the
assorted color anchors if you would like to decorate your nautical party with many anchors. The assorted color anchors add a lot of color to your room and they would also match the bright color ships anchor garland. How to decorate for a nautical theme party really is decided by the reason for your party. If you are throwing a nautical bash for someone who is leaving on a cruise, you can decorate your entire entire wall with a Cruise Ship deck backdrop. The Cruise party theme is appropriate for people who are actually going on a cruise, or for someone who is going on a symbolic cruise like a retirement or graduation.
