Children are usually fascinated with the idea of mermaids and other sea creatures. It is not a mystery why party themes along this line are quite popular during birthday celebrations.
If your child has asked you for a mermaid theme party, you should know that you need more than a mermaid’s tale or a mermaid poster to host the party. Get to know the essentials of this mermaid-centered party here, such as the mermaid scale drape backdrop panels, blue-colored chargers, and similar supplies.
What Is A Mermaid Theme Party?
Any party inspired by mythical sea creatures that are half-human, half-fish can be considered a mermaid party. The mermaids and underwater creatures are a central theme of the decorations, table linens, and food. The beauty of this kind of party is that it is not limited to a gathering for kids. Adults can join in, have fun, dress up as merpeople, and play mermaid-related games.
Mermaid Theme Party Invitations
Even if the birthday celebrator is a small child, try to talk to them about what they would like to happen at the party. Ask them who they would like to invite so you can work on the guest list. You can also consider your child’s usual playdates, the kids in class and the neighborhood, and other kids in the family circle.
When you’ve finalized the guest list, start on the birthday invitations. Since you have settled on a simple mermaid birthday theme, your invites should reflect it. Consider these tips:
- Use the colors of the ocean, such as blue, turquoise, green, and purple.
- Put seashells and underwater designs to highlight the mermaid theme and use the same designs on other mermaid theme party decorations.
- Have fun with the wording, like “Join our under-the-sea adventure!” or “Come swim with other mermaids and mermen!”
- Don’t forget essential details, such as the date, time, venue, dress code, and RSVP information on the invitations.
Mermaid Party Decorations
When you decorate the venue for the party, you can source a few key decorations, many of which you can find here at CV Linens. These include the following:
Tablecloths And Table Runners
Prepare a mermaid scale table runner and tablecloth, especially on the table where the cakes, food, and gifts will be placed. You can pick any of the sequin table runners we have in turquoise, silver, ivory, white, or gold. CV Linens also offers round and rectangular sequin tablecloths in different colors and sizes.
Our mermaid scale linens have fish scale-like sequins. They look fun, luxurious, and eye-catching. If you plan to use them in multiple parties, you can do so. Hand wash and hang them dry; they will be ready for the next event.
Dinnerware
Look for dinnerware with a sea-themed design or at least colors. Check out the light turquoise lace embossed or reef acrylic plastic charger plates. There are also blue gold-trimmed hammered disposable plastic plates you can use.
Party Decors
Put seashells, mermaid tails, coral, starfish, and other ocean-themed or mermaid theme party decors around the venue. Place these sea-themed designs on the centerpieces, cakes, or cupcakes.
Curtains
Find blue or green sheer or translucent curtains or drapes. Try our mermaid scale sequin 8ft H x 52” W drape/backdrop panel. These can give an illusion of being surrounded by water, undoubtedly making it a mermaid theme party.
Lighting
Use fun lighting if the party will go into the early evening or indoors. It would be better if you could find green or blue-colored backdrop lighting. If not, the blue drapes or curtains around you might be reflected by the light to make the venue look greenish or bluish, like the ocean.
Snacks And Treats To Offer
Choosing the right party food for kids needs proper care, especially if you want to match these with the mermaid theme party plates or the mermaid scale sequin 120” round tablecloth in gold. Here are some fun food options you can prepare:
- Cut out seashell-shaped sandwiches with jelly, peanut butter, fruit, and cream cheese filling.
- Prepare cupcakes with mermaid tails on top and some green or blue frosting. These custom cupcakes might be expensive, but they will be worth it once the kids’ eyes light up in delight.
- Look for starfish treats or candies you can offer as dessert.
- Use cookie cutters to carve mermaid and ocean-themed shapes out of fruits to prepare an ocean-themed fruit salad bowl.
- Quench the partygoers’ thirst with some ocean-blue lemonade.
