Splish Splash It’s a Mermaid Bash!
Splish Splash It’s A Mermaid Bash Perfect For Your Little Mermaid! Mermaid themed party is perfect way to celebrate a birthday, summer, or watching the new Little Mermaid movie! We’re excited to share all the party details of this Mermaid Party, which was featured on Pizzazzerie and Kara’s Party Ideas.
Design Your Own Party Invitation
As soon as I saw this mermaid invitation from Shutterfly I knew it would be the perfect theme for Sofia’s 5th Birthday Party! Plus, who doesn’t love mermaids and splashing around on the beach? You can customize it with the colors of your Mermaid Party. Did you know you can also customize your party invitations to include thank you notes?
Mermaid Party Venue Ideas
You can host a mermaid party in your backyard, at the pool, or lake. If you’re going to host a The Little Mermaid Musical watch party have an outdoor movie screen set up and lounge pillows. We choose Lake Norman at our venue, which provided a beautiful backdrop, and plenty of fun in the sand and water!
Create A Magical Bubble Station
Guests were greeted with a decorated teepee with garland, a magical bubble station, custom pillows from Shutterfly, colorful lanterns from Pottery Barn Kids, a personalized canvas mermaid sign made at Anders Ruff Workshop and mini pink flamingos from Via Blossom and that lead them down to the beach.
Starfish wishes and mermaid kisses!
Dressing up like a mermaid is a great way to make any mermaid party more memorable! From costumes to swimmable mermaid outfits, such as these ones from Mertailor make it interactive for all your guests.
These girls had the best time splishing and splashing around!
How To Create Mermaid Themed Table Setting
The little mermaids took a break from swimming to enjoy lunch at the magical under the sea kids table and sweet treats from the beautiful dessert table!
This kids table had it all from a beautiful blue and white tie dye table linen and tassel table runner to Best Day Ever plates and colorful tumblers from Pottery Barn Kids.
Mix and match dinnerware isn’t just for adults! We mixed Pottery Barn Kids Best Day Ever Plates with Meri Meri foil mermaid plates and napkins. These custom lucite and agate stone napkin rings by Set in Stone, added the finishing touch of this under the sea tablescape!
Kids lunch included chicken nuggets from Chick Fil-A, gold fish, and watermelon starfish!
DIY Mermaid Dessert Table and Backdrop
However, the dessert table stole the show with the beautiful custom DIY backdrop and mermaid inspired sweet treats! The commissioned mermaid painting from Art House Charlotte, by artist Lauren Reddick, is even more stunning in person and was the focal point of the backdrop with custom DIY balloon garland, that looked like bubbles of the sea! You can easily make the balloon garland from a kit. You can find DIY Mermaid Balloon Garland Kits and Mermaid Party Decor in our Amazon Store here.
One of my favorite party décor items that also doubles as home décor is the turquoise octopus chandelier from Hey Girl Decor, which adds a whimsical feel to the party!
The main dessert is this one of kind mermaid cake from Edible Art Cake Shop, combining two popular styles of waves at the bottom and mermaid scales at the top in ombre, with a mermaid and seahorses on the side.
Kids also enjoyed ombre almond pound cake shooters with mermaid tails, chocolate covered pearls, and custom mermaid tail, fish, seahorse, and sea shell cookies from Kessa Cakes!
Mermaid Party Activities
In addition to swimming, playing in the sand, and a bubble station there was a mermaid kit station, where each guest had the opportunity to design their own mermaid from precut mermaid tails, hair, and accessories.
All guests received mermaid starfish sunglasses and mermaid bracelets for the party favors, which was in addition to bubbles and a mermaid tail cookie to take home.
