I work as a Social Director for a country club community in Florida, and one of my jobs is to do event planning for them. I love doing it, and I had the opportunity to create a special bridal shower r for my sister Jill, who will be marrying her intended, Adam, on April 22nd in a cruise ship wedding. Befitting of the upcoming event, I did a nautical theme to celebrate with friends and family. After all these years of creating events for other people, how wonderful that I had the chance to do this for my sister!
Ready to go
I started with a blue and white piece of fabric, ordered online that became the table cloth. It was a durable canvas material and I plan to finish off the edges to make this a “real” tablecloth.
Lifesaver anyone?
Details, details… next came a basket of cutlery wrapped with a napkin, some twine and a lifesaver candy.
sand and seaglass
My daughter Lacey and niece Noelle helped with the nautical cupcakes. They were so pretty! We decided to make edible sea glass to sprinkle on top along with some raw sugar for a “sand” effect.

They were vanilla with a touch of orange, and a cream cheese frosting. More decorations included 3 little “messages in a bottle”.

Your sister has a **fabulous** sister; well done!
How did u make the champagne punch?
Hi Doris,
I used a box of unsweetened blue kool-ade powdered drink mix, 1 bottle of lemon-lime soda, 1 bottle of white cranberry juice, 1/2 bottle of champagne and scoops of vanilla ice cream to make the “foam”. Just mix it all and add the ice cream last. Also, add a bit of sugar if you want it sweeter. If you want non-alcoholic, substitute Seltzer for the Champagne.
Hope this helps 🙂
How big is the bottle of lemon-lime soda and white cranberry juice? Also how big is the kool-aide packet?
HI there, I used a regular 2 liter bottle of Sierra Mist, a large bottle of juice and a packet of Kool-aide that makes one pitcher-full. 🙂
