Summer Fun!!

Beach themed parties are great for young and old and the best part is you don't need to be anywhere near a beach!! 
Beach Party Invitations and matching stationery can be personalised and ordered online from Paper Divas.

Follow these great ideas to create a beach theme party at home:

• Play summer music (e.g., Beach Boys)
• Hang bathing suits of many different colors on a line strung outdoors
• Fill your beach birthday party area with beach umbrellas and chairs
• Organize a fire pit for your mini bonfire
• Have diving masks, flippers, and beach inflatables in the area including balls, rings etc
• Fill a plastic pool with ice and soft drinks
• Hang fishnets on the fence
• Colourful beach towels make great party tablecloths
• For the centerpiece, use a sand bucket, shovel, and sea shells
• Create a thong birthday cake (recipe and photo from www.taste.com.au)
