Party Theme Idea: Under the sea / Pool / Little Mermaid

Summer is definitely the time to have parties around water – just to keep the kids cool. Don’t fret if you don’t have a pool – you can just as well hire a waterslide for the day or buy a water sprinkling toy that you can connect to the garden hose (just make sure you warn the parents).

Party Snacks:

• Cookies cut into shell or star shapes – decorate with icing sugar to look like the real thing
• Blue punch with ice cubes in fish shapes
• Sour worms
• The cake can be a rock with a mermaid, a pond with fishies or a smiling starfish… if you have the budget and a great baker then maybe your kid could ride a whale

Party Ideas and Décor:

• Go blue!
• Hang paper sea animals from the roof
• Buy blue material that can flap in the wind – and use it as the roof of the party

Party Invite Ideas:

• Use fish or mermaid print cutouts and paste the party invite on the back.
• Use the shape of a sandal to make the invites with.
