Lobster Boil Party

Who says you cannot have a lobster boil in a landlocked state? When event planner Morgan Wetherington (from Nashville, TN) reached out to share this lobster boil party I was daydreaming of my own seafood soiree.

My favorite elements are the lovely lobster watercolor paper items and the use of nautical rope. Take a look at the amazing party photos:

From Morgan:

Barbeque is the typical southern fare, but we opted for lobster for this upscale dinner party. For this New England inspired lobster boil, we used a color palate of cherry red, navy, and shades of cream. The red rope linen was the perfect choice to include the theme. We incorporated nautical rope, starfish, and of course lobster. The client’s home provided an ideal outdoor space for the venue. We wanted to create a guest experience, everyone loved cracking lobster and flowing conversation.

With each individual place setting, all guests needed to enjoy their lobster was an appetite.

What to Serve at a Lobster Boil Party

  • Seasonal cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto
  • Snow peas
  • Corn on the Cob
  • Refreshing themed cocktail
  • Fresh lemon wedges

No dinner party is completed without a bar, we even designed a bar area that included a special “Captain Jackson Cocktail”.

Signature Cocktail That Pairs with Lobster

A help-yourself beverage area was set up so guests could make their own "Captain Jack Cocktail." The sign instructed them what to include:

  • Strawberry lemonade
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Lemon wedge
  • Gin
