Fishing Birthday Party Invitations
Make small fishing poles out of
12" dowels by tying string onto one end and attaching a
paperclip or clothespin to the other end. Clip your
invitation to the paperclip or clothespin.
Cut fish shapes from cardstock and
decorate with paint or markers.
Make message in a bottle invitations using clean / clear
water bottles. Place a little sand and a few shells in
the bottle and then roll up your invitation and place it
inside. Decorate the outside with paint or permanent
markers. |
Fishing Theme Decorations
Blue and Green balloons and streamers. Hang varying
length pieces (1 foot to 1 1/2 feet pieces) of light and medium blue
streamers from the ceiling to look like you are under the water.
Hang different sizes of fish within the streamers.
Cover the tables with blue tablecloths -
cut a wave pattern (scalloped edge) at the bottom of the
tablecloths if you are using cheap plastic or paper tablecloths.
Layer different colors of blue to look like waves.
Decorate the walls with fishing nets, rods, reels, and tackle
boxes.
Place shells and plastic lobsters and starfish on the food
table.
Fun Ideas for a Fishing Theme Birthday Party
If there is a local lake or pond near your home take the
birthday guests fishing. You will need a few poles and bait.
Take along a picnic lunch to eat at the lake. Bring buckets
for each child to collect items from around the lake - you can make a
nature scavenger hunt for the children to do when they are waiting for a
turn to fish. Nature

Target Fishing
Set out targets on the lawn such as hula hoops at different lengths from
where the kids will stand for the game and see who can cast their line
and hit the targets.
Instead of hula hoops set out buckets and see who
can cast their line into the buckets.
Dig for bait
Find a great place that has lots of worms and let the kids dig for their
own bait. Give each child a plastic container with a lid (that has
small holes punched in the top) to hold their bait. Let them take
it home for future fishing outings or use it during the party if you
will be fishing.

up and look like worms.
