Preppy Beach Party!

One of my favorite party themes of all time is a good ole’ fashioned beach bash.  And I am also a total Benetton and Hilfiger wearing preppy. So when I saw this Preppy Beach Party combo of two of my favorite things on Kara’s Party Ideas, I nearly freaked out.  Why didn’t I think of this idea?  The ever-nautical colors of navy, orange and white really create a striking color scheme.  It’s also super fun to put together decor for this kind of even.  You could ever require that guests were khakis and polos or dress their most preppiest  for a party like this.  I also love that this preppy beach party can be for all ages.  The party from these photos was obviously for small children, but I’m pretty sure that adults would love a skewer of gummy sharks as well, don’t you think?

Here are some cool candy buffet ideas for this beach bash!

• Gummy Sharks (for shark skewers seen above)
• Chocolate Sea Shells
• Swedish Fish
• Orange and Blue Gumballs
• Orange and Blue Milkies
• Orange and White Sticklettes
• Blue and White Sticklettes
• Whirly Pops
