What Is the She’s a Catch Theme?

“She’s a Catch” is a coastal bachelorette party theme with a fun nautical twist.

• Reel Love
• Knotty but Nice
• Let’s Get Shipfaced
• Same Rod Forever
• She Found Her Lobster
• Let’s Get Cray

Setting the Budget & Date

Before the Pinterest boards and Etsy carts take over, start with a solid plan. Choose a budget that everyone in the group is comfortable with, and confirm the date early to allow time for travel bookings, RSVPs, and ordering party supplies. Your budget should cover essentials like accommodations, food and drinks, decorations, transportation, and party favors.

With over 20 pages, a suggested checklist and pdf compatibility with Goodnotes and Notability, this is the ideal bachelorette party planner no matter what your theme. Grab your copy below.

Choosing the Perfect Location

Location is key when you’re planning a She’s a Catch party. Coastal areas like Charleston, San Diego, or Miami are perfect for that sunny, saltwater vibe. Renting a beach house or a lakefront Airbnb gives you a private, picturesque space for games, dinners, and late-night dancing.

For an elevated experience, consider chartering a boat or hosting part of the celebration on a yacht. Even a marina-side restaurant or lake house with paddleboards and kayaks can create the perfect setting. Look for places that balance relaxing coastal vibes with access to fun nightlife or cute brunch spots.

Invitation Ideas

Get your guests excited from the start with themed invitations that reflect your nautical aesthetic. Use colors like seafoam, navy, white, and coral, and incorporate design elements like anchors, sailor knots, and seashells. Whether you choose printed invites or send them digitally, don’t forget to include all the essentials like location, itinerary, what to pack, and any dress codes.

Our themed She’s A Catch Bachelorette party invitations are instant download Canva templates that you can edit completely for free. The template comes with 2 sizes – 5×7” for printing and a mobile size for sharing with your guests instantly. 

Each size also comes with a one page digital itinerary so you can give your guests an at a glance overview of the whole weekend.

Themed Decor: Set the Scene

The key to a great party atmosphere lies in the decor. Start with a central backdrop using fishnets, balloon garlands, and bunting with nautical puns like Let’s Get Cray. Dress the tables with nautical runners, blue and white glassware, and seashell centerpieces. Add lanterns or hurricane candles for a cozy glow once the sun sets.
