Summer Cruise Ship Party

Are you tired of the same old summertime pool parties? Then set sail for the summer with a Cruise Ship themed party! Grab your flip flops, camera, and a tall, frosty drink and get ready to show your guests how much fun they can have without ever leaving port. PartyCheap.com has everything you need to set the mood for a cruise ship themed party. And this theme can be tailored to fit almost any occasion. Use it for a birthday party, family reunion, summer office party, graduation, anniversary, or just as a good excuse to party!

It's easy to get started. You'll want to begin planning your party by sending out a very special invitation to announce your big cruise ship party. The Cruise Ship Party Pass makes the perfect invite and doubles as a fun party favor. It features a lanyard attached to a plastic sleeve that contains a card stock insert where you can write all of your important party information. Make sure you tell your guests to wear them to the party to serve as their cruise ship boarding pass.

As for actually decorating for the party... get ready to have some fun! Put on your yacht captain's hat and cover your walls in a cruise ship backdrop. PartyCheap.com has two options for your cruise ship backdrop: a tropical cruise or an arctic cruise. With an extra set of hands, these backdrops are easy to set up and will temporarily transform any room into a steamy or frosty oasis. To enhance your backdrops and give them a more 3-D look, string up strands of multi-color pennant banners and hang up some plastic life preservers. Welcome your guests as they enter the party with a sparkling metallic Bon Voyage fringe banner and dangle some paper serpentine throws from the ceiling and around the floor of the party entrance. As guests enter, hand them their very own confetti burst and start the party (or set sail) by having everyone twist and pop them at the same time.

And what's a cruise without a buffet! Designate an area of your party for refreshments by setting up a line of tables. Cover them using plastic table rolls and set out paper plates, cups, and napkins. At PartyCheap.com you can go with their Bon Voyage theme tableware or choose from the rainbow of colors available under the solid colored tableware category. You can even pick matching plastic utensils to coordinate with your chosen party colors. Create another area for eating with metallic fringe table skirting and decorate the center of each table with a cruise ship centerpiece and a sprinkling of multi-color fanci-fetti dots.

Don't forget to send your guests home with a special party favor. Either a set of cruise beads with an anchor medallion or a cruise themed photo balloon holder would be perfect. PartyCheap.com carries three different photo holders that would be great for a cruise ship theme: a life preserver, a stack of suitcases, or a travel trunk.
