Indoor Beach Party Ideas
You probably are thinking the party went inside because of a stormy, rainy day or maybe the party was held in the middle of winter. Nope - it was in August, the sun was out, not a cloud in the air and the pool was warm. But it was record heat. Truly a "Hotlanta" day. Beach Party Ideas
My daughter and I were hosting a beach party theme couples wedding shower. The plan was to have everyone come in their swimsuits and to have the meal and the party outside. But the extreme heat and the humidity of Atlanta just took the fun out of being inside - so we decided to move the party into air conditioning. I used my outdoor umbrella tablecloths, plastic plates and glasses and set the tables as if they were outside. Other indoor beach party ideas include hanging colorful lime green and aqua blue paper lanterns from the light fixtures and placing beach themed items in different places, starting at the front door. Beach Bridal Shower
We set the theme for our beach bridal shower by sending out these cute beach ball invitations by VistaPrint. It is easy to custom design your own invitations. The software is very user friendly and the items are shipped promptly if you choose a higher shipping fee. Select your own font and font colors. The invitations included important information, such as bring your swimsuits and towels. Beach Bridal Shower Gift
To go with the theme of the party we of course had to come up with a beach bridal shower gift.The wedding couple received this lime green monogrammed beach bag from Lillian Vernon and an oversized beach towel for two. Two easy to carry water bottles in lime green and aqua blue completed the gift. Instead of wrapping the gift, we placed a couple of bright colored flowers in the bag. Even the gift card had a beach ball on it. Beach Party Favors
Because this was a beach bridal shower, the take home favor for everyone was an aqua blue or lime green water bottle. The bottles served also as name place cards at the table. The silverware is wrapped in lime green paper napkins tied up with a strip of deep blue netting. I found some great plastic water goblets at the end of the season at Williams Sonoma and used them in the dining room and used thermal insulated plastic glasses for the kitchen table. The assorted colored plastic plates came from Target - they only cost $2 for 4 plates. They are strong, study and dishwasher safe. Beach Party Decorating
I hung this lime green swim ring on the mirror and topped the dining room sideboard with a beach towel, beach ball and some swim toys. Hang colorful paper lanterns from the chandelier and use plastic plates and glasses for the dinnerware.
Place a blow up beach ring or a large sand bucket and shovel at the entrance to the house. If you have a beach chair set that out with a bright colored striped beach towel draped over it. 
Set out a mattress float so that it is upright or if you have a beach umbrella place it by the front door.If it isn't windy outside decorate the front entry with a large beach ball or several small beach balls. Use a large sand bucket from your local dollar store and place a plant or a bouquet of flowers in the middle. Scatter sea shells around the bucket.
