Nautical Girls Birthday Ultimate Package : February 2016

A friend of mine called and said her little girl was turning 13 and she needed ideas for a nautical birthday theme. She wanted the nautical custom invitations, nautical custom logo, everything personalized plus all the ideas I could possibly come up with to make their backyard pool party a huge success. Now, with a girl that age, it's important to ask her what she likes and her favorite colors, too. Have little girls of my own, I consulted the experts (them) on the ultimate nautical backyard pool party and this is everything we thought of and some of the finished pieces!

I made a Pinterest board of all our ideas here! https://www.pinterest.com/pattyjeancreate/nautical-girls-birthday-party/

Party Favors
We were thinking a bucket with all these things in it or just give a couple of items to hand out. We ended up doing a beach bag with a towel and all sorts of goodies in it! But you might like some of these ideas too!
- neon towel
- neon glasses
- flip flops
- neon nail polish
- mesh snap back hat with her logo on the front
- braided friendship bracelets
- nautical braided bracelets
- different colored neon footie socks that girls can pick their favorites (mix and match)

Personalized nautical thank you tags for beach bags/favors.

Designing the invite to make a 13 year old girl happy!

Mocking up her nautical birthday logo, colors and invitation.

When you get 100% RSVP's you know it was a killer invite! The design, offerings, party details and wording matter! It sets the stage for the entire event.

She was so excited to see her custom logo. We even printed a pillow for her so her friends could sign it and she could have a cool keepsake!

I made her some nautical cupcake toppers, nautical cupcake topper and nautical cupcake wrappers and she loved them! They look fabulous! A bunting banner to run above the candy table gave it a finished look. I had a couple printed card stock sheets in 5" x 7" frames I spray painted from the dollar store to mark the gift, candy and thank you gift tables.
