Lobster Party Ideas For A Coastal-Themed Celebration
Searching for a fresh summer party idea with a hint of coastal charm? Whether you’re throwing a nautical 4th of July gathering or a stylish beachside bash, a lobster-themed party is the perfect way to celebrate summer. From setting a coastal-chic tablescape to curating a tasty seafood menu, here’s everything you need to plan a pinch-perfect celebration.
Setting the scene is key for any beach-themed bash. We recommend opting for a nautical color palette and choosing lobster party decorations in shades of cherry red, royal blue, and classic white.
A bold balloon garland is great for this theme, especially if you’re throwing a lobster-themed 4th of July party. Mix clusters of latex balloons in various shades of blue and embellish with a few large lobster balloons. Complete the look with a coordinating backdrop like @beijosevents did here!
As far as other lobster-themed decorations go, anything coastal-inspired will do. We suggest blending classic nautical elements with rustic accents– think rope-wrapped candle holders, seashell garlands, and anchor decorations.
For a show-stopping centerpiece, create a bold anchor floral arrangement. Start with a decorative anchor and nestle it in the center of your table as the base. Surround it with a lush arrangement of summer blooms, such as hydrangeas or peonies, to evoke that breezy seaside feeling.
An eye-catching tablescape is essential for any nautical-themed event. Start with a striped table covering, like our Palisades Blue Cabana Stripe Table Runner, and add coordinating plates, napkins, and cups at each setting. Our Le Lobster party supplies collection is ideal for this theme. Featuring chic patterns and bold colorways, these pieces will add a snappy touch to any sea-themed soirée.
The key to a truly memorable party is leaning into the theme and having fun with it. Incorporate engaging elements, such as a nautical-themed photobooth with lobster claw props and sailor hats. We also love the idea of creating a DIY lobster bib station where guests can get crafty and suit up before digging in.
We suggest layering our Le Lobster Small Plates with a large charger plate to accentuate the design. Pairing it with a contrasting pattern like our Pink & Red Cabana Stripe Plates will add dimension and elevate the look. Tie it all together with our Le Lobster Large Napkins or Guest Towels.
For an extra playful touch, we suggest bringing out the pink hues of the party supplies with our Petal Pink Cups. Finally, sprinkle some seashells and beachy accents, en voila!
No lobster party is complete without a sensational seafood menu. The star of the show, of course, is lobster– whether you’re serving a full lobster boil complete with corn on the cob or opt for crowd-pleasing lobster rolls piled high with butter. If you want to switch it up, consider offering other options, such as mini sliders, crab cakes, or a clam chowder bar.
When it comes to dessert, the world is your oyster. This is your chance to get creative and serve something sweet and on-theme, like lobster-shaped sugar cookies or a layered ocean blue cake. We suggest displaying your desserts on a bold red or blue cake stand to keep the nautical vibes flowing.

We hope we’ve inspired you to celebrate summer with a lobster-themed party. With the right lobster party supplies and coastal-themed decorations, you’re just a few claws away from the ultimate seaside soirée! From our fête to yours, bonne chance!
