Fishing themed party?

Question

Yeah my dad and my uncle's 50th is coming up (they're twins) and we're throwing them a surprise party. The theme? Fishing. We have some ideas for decorations, but I want to expand on them.

So far we have:

Silver buckets on the tables with rubber fish in them, gummie worms, and nets below them.

And (blown up) pictures of them fishing, holding fish etc hanging on the walls.

Got any other ideas for me? Thanks so much if you can help!

Answer 1

sounds dumb

Answer 2

Tj is an idiot.  I think it's a great idea.  How about a casting contest.  Have contestants cast a weight at a target.  Whoever gets the closest wins....that's just basis of the idea...you can expand on that anyway you like.  Have fun!  The other ideas people gave are good too.

Answer 3

I love the theme and LOVE the blown up pictures of them!

You can also make fish bowls!  You get little plastic cups or fish bowls, and make blue jello.  Put it in the fridge to set, and halfway through, when it's still soft, put in some gummy fish, the fish will only go halfway down the bowl/cup, you don't want the jello to be too soft or hard, just enough that you can put the fish where you want, and then the hole where you went into will close up.  When the jello hardens, you'll have fish bowls of jello with fish swimming around!  You can put them on the table or make them part of dessert, etc.  It's a cute idea that works for fishing parties or fishing themes, etc.

For food, I would just serve what they like, I wouldn't serve only fish, I'm sure even your dad and uncle aren't going to want to eat just fish for their Birthday, I would serve the foods that they like and enjoy have their favorites.

You can also do some clusters of balloons and see if you can some mylar balloons in the shape of fish.  Check your local party store to see if they have any.

You can do a game of putting a rubber fish taped to under the seat of one of the chairs, and whoever is sitting in that chair wins a prize.

You can also decorate the chairs that they sit in and make it like they're going fishing.  Put a cushion on it, some tackle boxes next to it, a cooler, and hang their fishing vests next to it, make it their chairs for the party.

You can also get a cooler and put the drinks in it for the party, being that's probably what they take with them when they go fishing, get one and put ice and drinks in it, or better yet, get an inflatable pool boat and put ice in it and the drinks in that, just the bottled drinks if there's no bar, put the water, sodas etc, and then have the beer in the cooler.

You can do a sheet cake with a pier on it and a two men fishing, have them both catching fish.

I hope some of these ideas help and that they have a great party!
