5 Great Party Ideas for People Who Love the Water
If you’re planning a party for a friend who loves the water, the possibilities are almost endless!
Whether you want a quiet and calm celebration or something more raucous, read on, we have an idea for you that’s just perfect.
Visit the aquarium
This is an idea that’s perfect for someone who loves the water because of the sea life that lives in it.
Most major cities will have an aquarium, which means that you will be able to pick a location that’s the most convenient for your guests.
Visiting the aquarium works well if you are celebrating with someone who is a little more reserved, as it can easily be a quiet event that takes place during the day. That said, you could always have the aquarium visit at the beginning of the day and then plan to carry on your day by visiting nearby bars and restaurants.
Party boat
Party boat cruises are perfect for any type of celebration, especially if it’s an occasion where you really want to push the boat out (sorry, it had to be done).
Party boat cruises will usually pick you up from a fairly central location, and they can hold a large number of people. Essentially you can throw the perfect party; only it’s even more special because it’s on the water.
Plus, there’s the added bonus that the party boat crew will do all of the organization for you, so all you have to do is turn up and enjoy yourself!
Water themed house party
If you fancy something a little more DIY, then you can create an amazing water-themed party at home.
Begin by decorating using iridescent streamers in greens, silvers, and blues to put guests in mind of the sea, and continue your theme onto the food. For example, you could make a fish-shaped cake and serve your guests ocean-themed cocktails as they come through the door.
Making an ocean-themed playlist is something that you could invite everyone to participate in in the run-up to the event, and, of course, you can set up water-based games in the backyard.
Some great game ideas include:
• Water balloon toss
• Water pistol battle
• Set up a water slide using plastic sheeting and a hose
• Pass the giant water balloon
Barbecue on the beach
For lovers of the sea, there’s nothing more special than spending some time near the ocean.
A barbecue on the beach is a great way to bring everyone together, and it means that those who are more adventurous can go for a swim, and those who prefer to stay on dry land can keep watch from picnic blankets!
Get everyone to pitch in and prepare some BBQ food that travels well, and you’ll end up with an absolute feast without one person having to do all of the work.
Surf lesson
If your water-loving friend hasn’t tried surfing, then a beginner's surf lesson is a wonderful activity to do as a group!
Contact your nearest school plenty of time in advance to book in if you’re a large group, and you can spend the day learning to ride the waves together.
