A Cruise Ship theme suit perfectly for proms, corporate events, retirement parties, birthday celebrations, bon voyage party or going away parties.
Your main goal is to manage to evoke the theme throughout the event, try to create the subtle thread which ties everything together. The location, invitations, flowers, menu, cake, and favors which you choose for this theme party should all cleverly reflect one common concept. Try to be as creative as you can.
Invitations:
Invitations can be made with the help of the computer, try to make them like the Cruise ship tickets and invite your guests to set sail for a Summer Cruise. Cruise Decorations
Most ships are just floating hotels while the exterior of cruise ships are quite majestic. Your aim is to transform your venue into the most exciting parts of an actual ship--the exterior areas and lido deck.
The most matching color scheme for this theme is blue and white with the touches of yellow.
You should count that the tops of your tables provide a very large surface area, that’s why it is better to start your decorating with the tabletops.
1. Cover the tables with navy blue and white striped table linens. Find white chair covers with yellow chair bands or belts for the chairs. 2. For serving tables navy blue undercloths with white overlays should be used. To complete the decoration, add white china, crystal glassware and silver flatware and also navy blue napkins folded in a shell shape. 3. Place a Ship's lantern on each table. The lantern can be dressed by tying a piece of maritime rope in a slip knot to each lantern. 4. As a final touch place a clear glass ginger vase filled with yellow roses on each table. 5. Make mini passports in blue and white which can be used for name cards or menu cards. Sand dollars can also serve as excellent place cards. 6. Decorate the ceiling with maritime flags- they can hang from it.
7. Your lido deck can be a great place for a buffet. Don't forget the Ice Sculpture, because it is the crucial component which is present on every cruise ship. You may use a dolphin or ship's anchor or ask your caterer for some other suggestions.
