 Here’s what Kristina said about planning the party-

“My twin girls love Mermaids, so a Whimsical Mermaid party was perfect for their birthday! I found a whimsical invitation design and after I added my own embellishments to it, that became my overall inspiration for the party! I did decide to add a few sharks “to the waters” so the boys didn’t feel out of place at the party! Not a girl to ever love purple, this party totally changed that! I chose a dreamy, soft palette of aqua and lavender. I made the hand tied fabric backdrop to create a focal point around all of the yummy sweets. The food was themed too, seaweed grapes, banana and peanut butter “sushi” bites and clamshell macarons were just a few of the menu items! I used a mixture of crushed graham crackers and brown sugar to make the sand look on a few of the platters to keep with the underwater theme. My friend did the cake pops with a coral design which I loved! I really wanted a special cake because my girls had been talking about a mermaid cake for weeks! I thought a soft ombre pattern with the candy coral turned out beautifully! For favors the boys got shark cups and the girls got chunky bubblegum pearl and aqua beaded bracelets with a starfish charm. All of the guests enjoyed the sand art activity too and loved that they were taking home their own creation! The party was a huge success and my girls still talk about their Mermaid Birthday!”

Ariel + Under the Sea 2nd Birthday Party

1

This adorable ARIEL + UNDER THE SEA SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Joanne of Cakes by Joanne Charmand.

This Ariel under the sea party is so beautiful! A few of my favorite elements are:
  • The stunning mermaid fondant cake
  • The clamshell shaped cookies
  • The simple but effective use of paper fringe for an ocean backdrop
  • and MORE!
This is what Joanne said about planning the party- “This setup was for my gorgeous niece’s 2nd birthday. She loves Ariel and loves the water! The party was actually at the pool so it was a challenge setting up the buffet as we could not use any glass. I made all the cupcake wrappers simply by getting the different shades of glittery paper from Lincraft. The beautiful photo on the ocean backdrop was taken The White Room Photography.”

This is what Amanda said about the party- “My daughter Milla turned 5 recently and being a summer birthday, she wanted something beach themed. With a love of all things “Ariel”, we decided to have a mermaid beach themed party.

Complete with starfish, golden sands and a fabulous collection of seashell treats, the celebration was every little mermaid’s dream. A beach themed dessert table with beautiful hues of turquoise and lilac set the scene.

The party was in full swing as little guests, all with mermaid tails, enjoyed the beach themed treats. Mermaid Milly entertained all of Milla’s little mermaid friends with dancing, musical statues, face painting and of course, a game of pin the tail on the mermaid.
Most of the beach themed treats and the birthday cake were made by me but also the talented Catherine from Sweet Empire made the deliciously gorgeous macarons, shell cookies and pearls pops.

Doily-inspired Lovely Lace Tiffany blue paper plates and cups tied in perfectly with our mermaid theme along with the divine mermaid printables and customized back-drop that I designed and created. For a little extra sparkle, we adorned our printable hats and Milla’s party chocolates with ribbon, shells and starfish from our local craft store. Milla and all her little mermaid friends had a wonderful time.”

This darling WHIMSICAL MERMAID UNDER THE SEA BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Debbie of Wants and Wishes!

Debbie said this about planning the party- “I know there are a lot of ideas for mermaid parties so I wanted to create something unique, fresh and modern yet still fun & bright for the little mermaids attending the party! I got my inspiration from Disney’s The Little Mermaid ‘Under the Sea’ song. I was also inspired by my niece, as she is obsessed with mermaids from any and every tv show. I wanted to create a dessert table that made the guests feel as though they were on the ocean floor living the life of a mermaid!

For the décor, there were colorful ‘seaweed’ strands and blue beads cascading down the walls, with a large starfish as the center point. I accented everything with more glittery ‘seaweed’ and other ocean plants, along with schools of fish. We also hung a printable ‘Happy Birthday’ banner that we designed. It’s so fun how it looks like the mini starfish are holding the banner up!

The desserts turned out really well and were extremely easy. I made marshmallow octopus pops which were sitting on a bed of white sugar with a little cinnamon mixed in to create a fresher ‘sand’ look. (I know a lot of people use brown sugar, but I wanted a lighter, more whimsical feeling). Mixed with the ‘sand’ were colorful chocolate non-perils. The mini cupcakes were also sprinkled with the white sugar and cinnamon mixture and topped with a colored chocolate seashell. We marbleized the chocolate so it wouldn’t be a solid pink or purple, to make the shells look more realistic. We used the same concept for the cake. We mixed in different shades of blue and applied the frosting in a swirl pattern like tussled ocean water. The cake was also topped with chocolate seashells and starfish. After marbleizing them, we dusted them with edible glitter to add a little extra sparkle.

No mermaid party would be complete without bubbles…. So we created bubble wrappers that are part of our printable collection.”

I am loving this MERMAID UNDER THE SEA 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Sharon Pardon of Cakes by Sharon! Everything is so lovely! The ruffles and light colors are simply divine.

Sharon said this about planning the party- “I had both my girls parties one week apart, very different ages and one loves mermaids. The colours came from the handmade backdrop I made and from there everything just fitted in:) I wanted bubbles like under water so we got lots of helium balloons and i wired them into the ground. Seashells were featured and lots of mermaid treasure games. I made everything myself, including the cake:).”
