Hi! I am in charge of decorations for a beach themed wedding shower that is going to be held in a church fellowship hall. The colors are pink and brown, and there are going to be close to 200 guests. I am in need of decoration ideas!!! HELP! The wedding is beach themed because the wedding itself will be taking place on the beach.

There are many centerpieces you can make based on a simple beach pail (a galvanized bucket works just as well). You can paint the pail with whitewash or opaque paints and fill it with seaside flowers like verbena and beach morning glories. You can fill the pails with seashells, starfish and beach glass to spill out onto each table and around each centerpiece. Or, you can fill pails with fun beach gifts that can also serve as favors: tanning lotions, aloe vera gel, sunglasses, and floaties are all cute ideas. Other water-based theme ideas are sailboats, liferafts, fishing equipment, and lighthouses.
Use pink and brown terry beach towels as tablecloths. Placecards and Holders
Set placecards in delicate pewter shell placecard holders, or line placecards along an oar or inside of liferafts. Write each guest's name on a sanddollar for a truly beachy placecard. Use real shells to hold placecards, or emboss each card with a stamp of a sailboat, a wave, or a shell. Waterfront Accents
Use fish nets, bouys, oars, and other ocean equipment you can find at an antiques dealer to decorate your reception room; make sure you include your nautical theme in invitations with embossed shells, sailboats, or wave-like scallops; give chocolate-shaped shellsor tiny buckets of sand as favors. Glue seashells to wooden napkin ring holders for a lovely presentation.
