Hi, lovelies! Are you hoping for a nautical bachelorette party with your BFFs? Well, pass this post on to your MOH because we’re about to show you the ultimate nautical bach bash ideas! Today we’re showing you everything you need to plan a nautical bachelorette party from start to finish that everyone’s going to love. We’re rounding up the best nautical invitations, favors, decorations, accessories, and apparel to make the last sail before the veil a memorable one. Here you’ll find everything needed to host the perfect nautical bachelorette bash / boat party / “last sail before the veil”, etc. along with party extras like an adorable captain’s hat (yes, complete with veil), bridesmaid mug-shot style photo props (so fun), cute tumblers, drink coolers, fun tank tops for the bride’s crew, and more. So… grab your captain’s hat and let’s go!

For a nautical bachelorette party, you can go with the following themes / bachelorette party hashtags:

• “last sail before the veil”
• “let’s get nauti”
• “tie the knot”
• “let’s get ship-faced”

We’re throwing in a few from each category in this list just to give you some inspiration.

It is best to choose a location that is, obviously, nautical-themed… for instance, a restaurant at a marina, a cruise (a multi-day destination if budget allows, of course, or even a one-day cruise in your area. In Detroit, there is a “Princess Cruise” that takes off in the evening with dinner, a full bar, DJ — the works. Check out what you have in your area. There may be a one-day boat or sailing tour you can take with the entire crew in tow.

Of course, you can plan a fun nautical bachelorette party without setting sail, too — just make it a seaside location. Anywhere you can dip your toes in the water, lay on the sand, get tan lines, consume delish beverages, and enjoy seafood (if that’s your thing) is a great way to throw a ‘last sail’ party for the bride. No need to over-complicate things — just pick a fun place she’d enjoy and go with it!
