Need Help With Nautical Theme!

[NurseBeth]

Hello Everyone!

 

I am wanting to carry over the cruise ship/ocean/nautical theme to my wedding planning. I am searching for some nautical-themed invitations, favors, and any other small touches I can add to the Carnival package to make it unique. My colors are going to be red, white, and blue. My fiance' & I both love the ocean & spending time fishing and cruising around on our boat, so it seems like the perfect theme for our wedding! Also, since it's on a cruise ship, I really think it would be a cute idea to have the same theme flowing through all aspects of the wedding, from save-the-dates to the favors guests pick up before they leave. If anyone has any great websites or specific products they have found I would really appreciate it!

Have you seen the "message in a bottle" invites? So cute! There are many varieties and websites, but here is one: http://www.messageinabottle.com/wedding_invitations___glass?b=1

 

Also, we are going to try to get our cake decorated with seashells and starfish.

Hi,

 

Try orientaltrading.com and search 'nautical tote bag'. Last time I looked they were 14.95/dozen.

 

Cheers!

I did a nautical theme on the Carnival Legend. My colors where Navy Blue, Ivory and Plantinum(Silver).

 

I got my invitations at mypersonalartist.com.

 

I used paperdirect.com to get paper with a cruise ship for newsletters, ect.

 

I used Destination Romance by Dawn to get napkins printed in white and navy with a cruise ship ICON. I also had matches printed with an anchor icon.

 

I got a cake topper at sculpturedglass.com that had two anchors with rope intertwined with wedding rings on top. It is a work of art and is currently displayed in the dinning :o rooom in the china case.

Our family is throwing us a Bon Voyage party and for our favors I found the cutest little teal light holder shaped boats for $1 at Yankee candle. I called all my friends and were able to get 60 of them they also have them and other nautical items on their web site. www.yankeecandle.com I’ll try to attach a picture.

Our major theme was STARFISH.

 

1. Message in a bottle Save the Dates with starfish tied around them.

 

2. Boarding pass Invitations

 

3. Starfish bubbles for guets to use instead of throwing rice

 

4. Starfish image on our programs

 

5. Actual Starfish on buffet tables and guest book table

I found them ALOT cheaper on eBay and bought them thru a seller there!

Almost every wedding favor website has an ocean/beach theme with tons of products. Oriental Trading is great with lots of items in bulk quantities. One of my favorites is *****.com

 

Check out these cute disposable cameras.

Where can you get starfish bubbles???? A friend told me to get bubbles because when you doing your first dance people can stand around and blow bubbles and it really looks nice in pictures! I havent found starfish bubbles though...I would like to!

Here is what my gift bags look like! I also borrowed part of the words I saw on another post and added my own for the thank you card!

There are wooden ships, tin ships and cruise ships that sail the sea

But, the best ships are friendships and relationships that are meant to be

Thank you for sharing our day

Your presences has made it special in every way

Light this candle as a symbol and help bless our start

Of a life of love & faith which comes from the heart!

Target has some really cute sling bags for $1. My girl-friend will be using them at our Bon Voyage party - I tried to talk into giving it to me!;)

Here are my programs and our favors we handed out, also the magnet we had made for our cabin door. I made lanyards for everyone's sign and sail cards out of mardi gras beads and lobster claw hooks. The stickers for the medallion on the beads, the sign and the program I printed online at Vista print

[McDangerpants]

Oh my gosh, that magnet is so cute!

[mrstriceasnice]

Oh my gosh, that magnet is so cute!

 

Thanks and now we will use it whenever we cruise. :)

I'm also looking for nautical things. I'm getting married in Cozumel in Dec. Weve already brought a bunch of personalized sunglasses, all in different colors. They are super fun and useful. I'm having trouble finding nautical, preferably something with an anchor, gift bags. I will need approx 40. I plan on Stuffing the bag with some useful items along with the glasses. I also want to make a welcome letter including a note from bride and groom.. as well as a directory of everyone's name and cabin number in the group. Any assistance is much appreciated!!

 

Thanks
