Summer is half way done, can you believe it?! We are spending as much time as possible on the beach in the sun. Along with the beach days we love to throw a good party, as you know. When I saw Bonjour Fete’s new Lobster plates they inspired me immediately! A little coastal soiree with a red, white and blue touch is always a fun idea. Thus, this cute crustacean party was conceived! It’s a little Newport Beach, CA and a little Newport, RI! Take a look at all the summer beach fun below!!

Before we get crackin’ let’s gaze at this cutie of an invite! Minted is always our go to for our holiday cards but their invites are equally as adorable! This “On the Coast” card by Pati Cascino and all of the accessories are perfect for our party! Beachy touches, lobster wax seals, pelican stamps! I can’t get enough!!
Now, we are onto the main event!! The cutest beach party set up in all the land!
First let’s start with what inspired it all, these adorable plates! Bonjour Fete created this cute collection and mixed it with some of their basics that we use consistently. The lobster plates with the blue check look perfect placed on top of their red and pink stripe plate. Next we added their blue and white striped table runner, fun lobster napkins, Sophistiplate’s blue and gold flatware, sea grass chargers and white tumblers. The entire setting has that quintessential Cape Cod vibe with a California touch!
Clearly we are all about the details over here! Using Minted’s adorable place cards, rope, seashells, and lemons we brought even more character to this table.
Without a doubt a low table is always fun at the beach! Having the perfect nautical pillows from Sweet Salvage Rentals to go with it?! Even better….
Besides all the cuteness you’ve seen already are those gorgeous flowers! Earth & Grace outdid herself creating the perfect coastal centerpieces full of whimsy. Flowers always add to our tables making them even more beautiful.
It should be noted that this setting wouldn’t be nearly as amazing without this backdrop by Goldie Crew Creative. The pop of color, mix of prints and shapes and sweet details make this party shine! In addition, when you add in the perfect balloons by Balloon Works it’s a real show stopper!
How cute are the vintage buoys hanging?! Another Sweet Salvage Rentals addition!!
Unlike most of our beach set ups this one has the seaside homes in the background and I love it!!
Moving onto the bar! As a rule we never leave guests parched, so cocktails were a must! Wes & Wren spoiled us with a seaside sangria, the perfect summer drink! Plus, when you can make it in batches and serve the masses?! That’s always a win!
Second serving is our main lobster dish and clam chowder! Both of these tasty and very on theme bites are from Harry & David. They make serving easy with their simple directions and mailing it all straight to you! When it comes to hosting it’s always nice to keep things easy and delicious.
Lastly are our insanely adorable and incredibly delicious desserts! Sugar From the Heart Bakeshop outdid herself with these! That cake?! I can’t even with all of these amazing details!!! Truly it doesn’t get any cuter…
Finally, it’s time for our party with the most group of beautiful girls! These ladies could be mermaids! They are all wearing gorgeous dresses from Saltwater Luxe. The minute I saw their Summer collection I squealed as it’s perfect for all of the beach days and parties, just like this one!
No fun was had here!!!
First is beautiful Aubrey who’s stunning red hair is giving me major Ariel vibes! I love her in the Hayley Midi Dress, the seashells and color way is everything, plus those red sunnies just make it!!
Aubrey’s adorable friend Jami, also the owner of Wes & Wren, joined as well! These two are so fun together!!
Jami looks amazing in the Blakke Mini Dress. I love the knit and striped nautical vibe for this party!! Plus the cut of this dress is so flattering…
Next is another gorgeous friendor, Rilee owner of Balloon Works!! Could she be any hotter in red?! That light, her beautiful hair and coy smile… The Carleigh Ruby Mini Dress was made for her!!
Last but not least is stunning Jordan! She looks like the epitome of a beautiful California beach girl! We styled her in the Quinlee Mini Dress and I’m obsessed! It’s the perfect summer dress and lets just face it, she’s gorgeous!!
Beach days are better with friends, and beach parties are better the Beijos way!!!
This lobster beach party is so fun, and we have everything you need to have your own version linked below!!
