Fishing-Themed Invitations

Whether you design your wedding invitations with two less fish in the sea or hook, line, and sinker as the headline, your invitees are sure to recognize the underlying theme of the entire event. Choose the color of your bridesmaid dresses, include all of the pertinent details, and be as creative as you like with your design.

Fish-Hook Wedding Rings

Perhaps the most important aspect of the wedding after the "I do," fishing-themed rings are available in various styles. Popular wedding rings for fishermen include styles that are hand-engraved or laser-etched with fancy fish hooks as well as wedding rings embossed with tiny fish hooks.  See them here.

Place Cards

If you have the space as well as the funds, why not go all out with your place cards? Create fishing-themed cards using small wooden dowels, fish-shaped cards labeled with the guest's name and table number, and a small votive filled with blue glass beads. Alternatively, you can design place cards to look like boat oars.

Décor

While you are infusing your celebration with fishing wedding décor, you might want to include traditional elements. Floral displays, lacey tablecloths, and bright white sashes attached to chair covers provide an elegant touch that romanticizes your love for each other, while fishing-themed wedding decorations deliver a personalized message. One example you can use is to design tackle boxes filled with an overflowing display of flowers.

Wedding Cake Toppers

The bridal couple can choose from a variety of fishing-themed wedding cake toppers, all of which are designed specifically with the enthusiastic angler in mind.

You can even find styles with "Best Catch" emblazoned on the base of the wedding cake topper.

Fishing lures in small bags with the guest's name and the phrase "best catch of the day" or "perfect catch" offer a wonderful way to embrace the love of fishing.
