Who doesn’t love a beachy party? Sometimes you can’t travel all the way to the beach to celebrate, but don’t worry. You can have all the fun that the beach has to offer (minus the waves) right at home! Whether you’re really hosting on the beach or just wishing you were, keep reading to discover our ultimate list of beach party ideas to make your next ocean-inspired occasion as festive as possible. We’ve got ideas for food, decor, and so much more. Enjoy, and have fun at your party!

How do you throw the best beach themed party?

If you’re going with a beach party theme, you might as well go all out! Make everything as beachy as possible, from the invites to food to music. You can even request that your guests dress as if they’re going to a real beach party — think swim coverups as dresses, flip flops, sunglasses, etc.! If you’re doing party favors, it would be cute to send guests home with a customized pair of sunglasses or something similar.
