Host The Best Little Mermaid Party Ever

Party

Hosting a Little Mermaid Party was the perfect way to celebrate my daughter’s third birthday party. I can not tell you how many times we have watched this Disney classic that I once enjoyed watching at a young age.  The Little Mermaid party theme is fitting given the many times this year we have sung along or watched it live during Disney’s Little Mermaid Musical with our family. There are various creative ideas you can bring to life when you host a Little Mermaid Under the Sea Party!

Under the Sea Party

The Little Mermaid Party Ideas

Mermaid Party Invitations

I ordered a Little Mermaid Invitation Printable that included space for a photo of my daughter in her mermaid costume. Of course, she has a mermaid costume!

The Little Mermaid Party Menu Items

Creating a festive food spread is the fun part where you can let your creativity fly (or swim in this case).

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches cut with a whale cookie cutter. I almost made Peanut Butter and Jellyfish Sandwiches, but I ran out of time.

Turkey and Provolone Cheese Clam Sandwiches cut with a shell cookie cutter

Goldfish, Cheez-Its, and Potato Chips in beach buckets.

Mermaid sugar cookies, cupcakes, and a treasure box mini cake for the birthday girl’s cake. I made paper mermaid tails using my Cricut Explore Air™ machine to add some flair to the cupcakes.

The usual party treats: crackers, Chicken Salad (remember Chicken of the Sea?), and fruit/veggie trays.

Blue Under The Sea Punch made with 7-Up, Hawaiian Blue Punch, and Pineapple Juice.

For the adult crowd, I served Lolailo Sangria with added fruit and a splash of brandy (to make it sweeter).

Mermaid Party Decor

I bought the decor from a variety of retailers. I found all the tubs, buckets, and bubbles from a Dollar Store. At Michaels, I got the large party tubs for drinks, shells, and netting for a steal of a price with a 40% off coupon I grabbed off their app. I found bright tablecloths, large bubble wands, and festive paper plates at Target.

Entertainment for mermaid theme parties 

For the kids entertainment, we blew up a small pool for them to splash around in and rented a large bounce water slide. We also had an area where kids could play with sand and blow bubbles.

Under the Sea Party Favors

As guests left, they were given a bubble wand with a custom-made label that said, “Thanks for making my party a splash!” You know I am a sucker for a good pun. I created this myself and you are more than welcome to use them yourself. Please download the PDF link below to get started.

At the end of the day, my daughter had a fabulous time with her friends and family by her side. This birthday celebration was different from those before. I think perhaps because she thoroughly enjoyed it and is old enough now to get what a birthday party is all about.  All the work and energy spent to host the party was well worth the smiles not only on her face but everyone who attended.

The Little Mermaid Party Ideas

Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl! May you always have a thirst for fun and adventure just like Ariel does.

    Thanks for the great ideas, we’re celebrating my daughters first birthday this weekend and it’s mermaid theme(just like her baby shower). Hoping it turns out as cute as yours!

It really works! We tried making these colored ice It really works! We tried making these colored ice balls and succeeded. It’s so simple. Fill up water balloons with water and squeeze a few drops of food coloring in them. Tie and place water balloons outside until frozen solid. It took us 12-18 hours from last night when it wasn’t as cold as it is today. Once frozen cut the balloon off and then you have beautiful solid colored ice balls! #kidsactivitiesathome #snowdayactivities #snowday #texasweather #snowcrafts #boredombusters
