Gone Fishing Themed Birthday Party

Gone Fishiing themed birthday party via Kara's Party Ideas KarasPartyIdeas.com #gone #fishing #fish #fisherman #themed #party #ideas #father's #day #dad

This rustic GONE FISHING THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Laura Aguirre of LAURA’S little PARTY.

I love so many of the ideas and elements in this gone fishing party! My favorites are:

The fishing themed cookies
The waffle cones filled with goldfish cracker “trail mix”
The bait stand displaying the “catch of the day” sack lunches
and MORE!

Here’s what Laura said about planning the party- “Recently, my little guy Jordan {2 1/2 yrs old} has taken a liking to fishing. I recently purchased a fishing hat, and brought it home for him. Since then, he would tell me every day that he wanted to go fishing. I love making fun milestones into big celebrations, so I quickly put together a little fishing spread at a small lake near our house. I gathered some props, put together a few fun fishing elements, and even converted our lemonade stand into a “bait stand” that held the “catch of the day”: sack lunches, and milk bottles for lemonade.

S’mores bites, mini cupcakes, gold fish cracker “trail mix” and other treats were perfect for our little day trip to the lake. My dear friend Arlene, from She wears the crown made a batch of adorable cookies, especially for my little skipper!

Although he didn’t catch anything, he certainly had a great time casting his fishing line, and clomping around in his favorite boots, and fishing hat.”

This is what Annina said about planning the party- “I planned this Gone Fishin’ Party for my brother’s small family birthday party. He and my father are avid fishermen, and spend as much time as possible out on the lake fishing for bass. So I thought it would be fun to create a party with edible details related to fishing! This would also be a wonderful party idea for father’s day, if Dad likes to fish.

The cupcakes are made of chocolate with a milk chocolate buttercream. I crushed up some chocolate cookies for the “Dirt”.

For the “bait buckets” I created a printable galvanized bucket template based off of a cupcake wrapper template. I hooked some craft wire through each side for the “handle”. The “bait” is sour gummy worms.

For the fishing pole cupcakes I used a pretzel as the rod and hooked on a goldfish with some craft wire. The “water” was made from blue candy pearls.

The cupcakes are displayed on some unfinished wood crates. I thought they fit in with the rustic lake theme of the party.

In the buckets beside the banner I set up some “bobber” cake pops in a styrofoam ball covered with goldfish.

I finished off the table with some Swedish Fish and gummy worms in mason jars. The bottles are IBC root beer, a favorite of both my dad and brother. To balance everything out, I filled some apothecary jars with rainbow goldfish.

The fish banner includes a bass, trout, and catfish that I designed, printed, cut out, and attached to the twine with craft wire made to look like fishing hooks. I also designed and printed the sign. All of the paper elements- fish banner, sign, cupcake wrappers, toppers, tags, and “bait bucket” wrappers- are available to purchase in my Etsy shop as printable templates.”

Fisherman Themed Birthday Dinner Party

this is the fisherman themed birthday dinner i put together for my husbands birthday last week! to see the HGTV feature gohere.

my husband is an AVID fisherman…so for months i’ve been planning the ultimate fisherman’s escape, a dinner just for the two of us, right by his favorite fishing spot. the weather turned out to be great. and although there still isn’t much green on the tree’s being that it’s still april, the setting was perfect.

hope you enjoy!

the red ball is a vintage glass fishing float…

dessert table…

i wanted to add a vintage feel to the party. so i found some vintage glasses, and old vintage picnic basket {that i used for the flower arrangement}, a vintage fishing net, vintage fishing lures, vintage dishes, vintage fishing creels, vintage lanterns, a vintage vase, vintage canning jars, a vintage owl..and more.

oh, and i bought some authentic fish fossils off ebay that i used as little coasters….
