Nautical Baby Shower Decorations

1. Fish Netting Wall Decor

Your guts will certainly feel like they have stepped onto a boat with a hanging blue fish net on the wall. You can buy netting for fishing and seashell decorations separately and make it a customizable project, or you can buy a set of nautical fish netting decorations together.

2. Theme Colors

For nautical-themed parties, decorate your venue with the various colors of the sea. This can range from light to dark blues, white, turquoise. Nautical themes also include navy blue and red. I would also include lots of blue and white stripes and anchors as well.

3. Life Ring Buoy

To match the color scheme, you can buy a nautical life ring buoy to hang on the wall or use as decoration on a table. To make the decoration interactive, you could also leave a pen by the buoy for guests to sign or give words of encouragement.

4. Cork and Bottle Lights

This nautical decoration idea will easily brighten up any venue for a baby shower. With just a few clear, glass bottles, you can place a set of string lights inside them and put the cork back on the bottle. This will not only brighten up your venue, but also beautifully add to the nautical theme of the party.

8. Compasses

Compasses are essential to sailors at sea and people throwing nautical baby showers!

Compass, Nautical Brass READ DESCRIPTION 36mm, Working Compass with Black & White Face- STEAMPUNK Pendant, Charm, Magnetic Compass

⚓⚓⚓ PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW BEFORE PURCHASING (learn more about this item)... DO YOU NEED A CHAIN WITH THAT?👉 https://etsy.me/383xBpI These are working magnetic compasses. Although they do work, they are not intended to be used for serious survival or backwoods trekking. ⚓ These compasses WORK if you understand HOW compasses work and HOW TO HOLD & READ THEM. Please read 💥 THE ART TO READING A COMPASS below, as well as 💥💥 LIMITATIONS OF THE MAGNETIC COMPASS. Also be aware there is a difference between ***TRUE NORTH & MAGNETIC NORTH. This listing is for 1-20 compasses in the raw brass (gold) or vintage brass (dark) style. I carry a number of compasses so be sure to look at the sizes with a ruler in hand to make sure you get the best size. These gorgeous brass compasses are one of my larger lidless compass options, measuring 1 3/8" or 36mm in diameter and are fully functional. These particular compasses are lightweight and make great additions to necklaces or multimedia art projects. MAGNETIC COMPASS: an instrument that is used for navigation and includes a free-floating magnetized needle which, when held level and still, aligns itself with the earth’s magnetic field and in doing so, points approximately north by aligning itself with the Earth’s magnetic field. PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTIONS AND LOOK AT THE SIZE IMAGES AS WELL AS CHECKING A RULER TO BE SURE YOU LIKE THE SIZE OF THE ITEM. ***TRUE NORTH VS MAGNETIC NORTH “A compass needle will point to the direction of the Magnetic North Pole. But this doesn't mean that a compass always points to the Geographic North Pole. This difference is magnetic inclination. ... It can change so much that the Earth's magnetic field can flip polarity” GIS GEOGRAPHY 💥 THE ART TO READING A COMPASS Be sure you are away from obvious magnetic fields ( read Limitations below) that can interfere with the compass reading and place the compass in a flat position on the palm of your hand and in front of your chest... The instructions are more involved than one would think and I will not include them in this description. ⚓ There is an art to reading a magnetic compass and you can look it up on the internet or YouTube. I also provided a link below. 👉 https://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Compass 💥💥 LIMITATIONS OF THE MAGNETIC COMPASS Magnetic compasses are influenced by fields other than Earth's. Places that may contain magnetic mineral deposits, artificial sources such as MRI’s, computers, anything with magnets, large iron or steel bodies, electrical engines, any electric devises (produce its own magnetic field when it is carrying an electric current), power lines and the latitude at which you try to use a magnet. The closer you come to the poles the less likely the compass will work. A compass needle is a delicate magnetic instrument, and it is possible for the poles to become reversed if the compass is brought into close contact with another magnet or if you store your compass near objects that have strong magnets in them (such as your car speakers). If this happens, you will need to re-magnetize the compass using a strong magnet. WHAT IS RAW BRASS VS VINTAGE PATINA or OXIDIZED BRASS The Raw Brass option refers to the lighter golden colored brass in the photos. Brass naturally oxidizes so some of the raw brass pieces can be slightly oxidized. Using a metal polish or Brasso will bring the color back to the original yellow or red brass, golden tones. The Vintage Patina option usually refers to very oxidized brass and can vary from lighter coppery brown colors to darker deeper browns. Oxidizing brass prematurely is not an exact science and pieces can vary in color. The pieces you receive may not be the exact shade as in the photos. The lighter and coppery tones will gradually darken over time unless the brass is sealed. The Vintaj glaze and matte sealers will do the job if that is what you need. ⚓ SAVE SOME 💰 💰 💰...

Nautical Baby Shower Invitations

28. Anchors and Stripes

You can never go wrong with a paper invitation showing an anchor with blue and white stripes around the party information. You could design your own or purchase customizable invites from a variety of retailers.

29. Sailboat

A sailboat-themed invitation is a tell-tale sign that the party will be full of nautical adventures. You can do a cut-out invitation of a sailboat or simply design your own with sailboats on the invitation. Either way, it’s an adorable way to announce your sea-themed party.

30. Mermaid Themed

Mermaids are another on-theme concept for invitations. One take on this concept is to have a silhouette or picture of the baby with a mermaid tail. Another concept is to just have a small glimpse of mermaid to allude to how mysterious they are. This last concept would be especially ideal if your guests don’t know the gender yet.

Planning a themed party can be difficult; there are many different aspects involved in preparing an event. This list provides you with a variety of easy and fun ways to get your nautical-themed baby shower afloat. Using our tips will shore-ly provide you with a wonderful nautical event.
