A Pre-Cruise Party?????

[swissmiss]

I am having a "celebration & get to know you" pre cruise party for a large group sailing in the New Year.

Anyone have any wild or wacky suggestions for invitations, drinks, food etc?? I am going to have everyone come in "cruisewear", and my husband carves a mean melon.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh how much fun!!! I would love to be there!

Use luggage tags for invitations (copy some that the cruise line uses), or find templates for ships or life preservers.

Make rum punches, like Bahama Mama's, Yellowbirds, Miami Vices, and the standbys, strawberry daquiries and pina coladas.

Decorate using tropical themes--palm trees, leis, and tropical print clothing.

Serve tropical fruits, fancy canapes, salmon, etc.

The Oriental Trading Company has many decorating/favor items. You can find them online.

 

This isn't an Alaskan cruise, is it?:rolleyes:

 

Have a great time!

I was going to suggest you have it in the back yard and on your deck, but I guess as you live in Ontario Canada, that's not such a good idea for a party in January, is it?!?!?!?!?

Don't forget the music!

Jimmy Buffet, steel drums, regae (sp), etc.
