If you're planning a nautical themed party, you don't want to miss these must-see nautical party ideas we've picked out for you!

It's such a versatile theme, with such iconic details -- anchors, boats, life preservers, etc. -- that can be applied to birthday parties for both girls and boys, baby showers, and more...

Not surprisingly, Christmas parties are such a popular theme on our site right now and you can find two adorable ones in my 4 Favorite Parties of the Week! There a  festive red and green Santa themed Christmas party and a fantastic red and white reindeer themed Christmas party. My other two favorites are a nautical themed baptism with amazing under the sea treats,  and a colorful and whimsical woodland party with cute forest creatures. You will love these four parties!

Here are some fantastic parties added to our site this week... A baseball themed 99th birthday, for a girl who's
"having a ball," a ballerina birthday with table skirt like I've never seen, a Project Runway birthday that is even better than the show (wait until you see the cake ball nail polishes), and a little man mustache bash that's perfect for a fun baptism!
