A sea party is a great idea for almost any occasion. It is very simple to organize, but at the same time allows you to show maximum creativity in the details.
Registration of invitations to a sea party
It's worth starting with invitations. Correctly decorated, they always set guests in the right mood. For a sea party, bottle invitations are best. This can be easily done if you have wine bottles left at home. Don't worry if they don't have plugs, a tightly rolled sheet of paper will replace them with ease.
The text of the invitation is best written with a fountain pen, but gel will work as well. The handwriting should be sweeping and decorated with curls. In the invitation, indicate why, when and where your party will take place (mention the theme of the holiday), do not forget to include the dress code. Add a couple of funny phrases about ships, parrots and pirates for a personal touch.
Organization and holding of a party
Take up decoration, party room decoration. Hang a net under the ceiling, make thematic signs pointing to the galley (kitchen), wardroom (living room), and so on. Lay out all kinds of nautical souvenirs, decorative stones and shells on horizontal surfaces.
Take care of the music, the funny songs from the cartoon "Treasure Island" and the pathetic soundtrack of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are also suitable for the background. The main thing is to give free rein to imagination.

Various competitions related to the history of navigation, geography and other fields of knowledge related to the seas and oceans are also encouraged.
An excellent entertainment for the party will be a knotting competition. In this case, it is better to attend to the diagrams and instructions in advance.
