Marine-themed birthday gives a lot of room for creativity and involves a lot of fun and interesting competitions, which makes this theme very popular. Holidays for children are especially bright and memorable. Preparing for a nautical-style birthday is not difficult, but it will take time and imagination.

Holiday invitations

Of course, you can invite guests to a child's birthday by phone or in person. But if you want to give the upcoming holiday special significance and solemnity, then make invitation cards. You can make them with your child - the kid will really like the creative work.

Postcards can be designed in the form of fish, anchors, shells, starfish, ships - it all depends on your imagination.

Making decorations

To make a marine-style birthday unusual and interesting, it is necessary to make details and decorations typical of this theme. The most striking item of marine paraphernalia is a lifebuoy. The presence of this detail in the festive interior will give anythe room has a hint of a ship's atmosphere. In addition, the manufacture of a lifebuoy will take no more than an hour: it is enough to have cardboard, foam rubber, and white and red or blue ribbons on hand.

First, cut out a circle of the diameter you need from cardboard. Then wrap it with foam rubber, fixing the edges with threads or glue. Once you've got the shape of the circle, wrap it first with white tape, and then make the same pattern as on the lifebuoys with red or blue tape.

It's just as easy to make sea jellyfish using disposable plates and Christmas tinsel. A cardboard tray from chicken eggs will be an excellent material for making fish.

With a little imagination, you can easily make turntables, starfish and even a pirate ship.

The main thing is that you can find all the materials for decorations at home. The only thing you will need to purchase is acrylic paints and colored paper.

Costumes for the holiday

Guests should be warned in advance that they will attend a birthday party in a marine style. So they will have time to search not only for a birthday gift, but also to buy or make a marine-themed costume. If your plans do not include burdening guests with additional preparations, just buy vests for all the children. The hero of the occasion can be dressed in a captain's costume or choose the outfit of a pirate beloved by all children - Jack Sparrow. Depending on which character's rolethe kid wants to play at his holiday, and the scenario of the event and the concept of decorating the room will depend.

Scenario of the celebration

The success of any holiday, especially for children, depends primarily on how interesting and fun the guests will be. Therefore, having decided to organize a birthday in a marine style, the celebration scenario should be thought out especially carefully, including games and contests with prizes.

You can start a children's event with the game "Guess who I am". To do this, children are given leaflets with sticky edges, on which they write the names of marine life, after which, without showing the inscription, they stick them on each other's foreheads. The meaning of the game is to guess what is written on the piece of paper. To do this, the guys take turns asking each other questions, to which you can only answer “Yes” or “No”. With the help of leading questions, you need to guess the name or name of which hero is written on a piece of paper. Whoever guesses the fastest wins.

Also, children love the Crocodile game. To conduct it, you need to prepare cards with drawings on a marine theme in advance. The bottom line is this: the children are divided into two teams and choose their own captains. The host shows the card to the captain, and he must depict the object drawn there with gestures and facial expressions so that his team can guess what he means. The group with the most correct answers wins.

All games can be accompanied by fun marine-themed music. It can be both songs from cartoons and movies, andworks of pop singers. A little later, the same music selection will come in handy at the children's disco.

Interior decoration

The room where the holiday will take place can be decorated with a striped banner with congratulations, imitation lifebuoys, as well as photographs of seascapes and ship instruments, can be hung on the walls. In addition, with the help of green paper ribbons, algae can be placed on the walls, complementing the decorations with small cardboard fish. Table decoration should also be done with elements of a marine theme.

When defining the overall concept of the holiday, do not forget about the choice of colors for the upcoming holiday. White, blue, blue, red are the colors that best decorate a birthday in a marine style. The decoration of the room with wooden elements will also harmoniously fit into the interior, as it will symbolize the deck of the ship.

The general direction of the style of the sea holiday will be determined by the gender of the child, his age and hobbies. So, for example, depending on the desire of the baby, your house can turn into a romantic world of mermaids or a pirate ship.

Festive table, treats

The event, organized in the style of this theme, involves an abundance of fish dishes and snacks. But since not all kids love fish, it’s better to cook more meat dishes for a children’s birthday in a marine style, giving them the shape of the inhabitants of the sea depths.

As for fish treats, you can make sandwiches withred caviar and fry cutlets in the form of small fish. Sushi and rolls, which are usually loved by modern children, will also fit well into the holiday menu in a marine style.

And of course, a child's birthday in a marine style cannot do without a gorgeous cake. In order to make it not only tasty, but also unusual, use mastic. It can be purchased at the store or cooked at home. To decorate the cake, prepare figurines of chocolate and cream in the form of marine paraphernalia.

And do not forget that by showing imagination, you will not only please the baby on his birthday, but also give happy memories that will remain with the child for life.
