The key to mermaid party perfection is transforming the room into an underwater fantasy. Cover the walls with shimmery blue and green plastic tablecloths or fabric to create a flowing ocean-like backdrop. Hang strings of pearlescent shells and iridescent fish-shaped mylar balloons from the ceiling. Sprinkle the floors with scattered starfish, pearls, and glitter.


Make an eye-catching photo backdrop with a mermaid-scaled “frame” crafted from green and blue painted cardboard or fabric. Place a treasure chest filled with nautical props like sailboat decor, fishing nets, sand dollars, and jewels in front for guests to pose with.
The Party Table Setting
Your table scape should transport partygoers to a mythical underwater kingdom. Use a blue or purple metallic tablecloth or lay sheets of shiny blue fabric over the tables. Fill bowls with betta fish, goldfish, or guppies as natural, living centre pieces (just be sure to provide aerators!). Surround the bowls with seashells, pearls, and teal or purple votive candles.


Place Settings
For the place settings, use placemats made from green fabric with a mermaid scale texture. Print out mermaid graphics on shimmery paper to create fancy mermaid tail-themed napkin holders. Give kids mermaid tail utensil holders to use with their forks and spoons.


Fun Mermaid Touches
Create ingenious DIY decorations that kids will adore. Form a jellyfish decoration with paper lanterns and long paper streamer tentacles. Braid blue and green tulle to form hanging seaweed strands to dangle from the ceiling or table edges. Fill glass bowls with slips of paper that have mermaid-themed fortunes written on them.
Give little guests mermaid accessories like shimmery mermaid tail headbands or tiaras to wear at the party. Let kids color in mermaid pictures or make mermaid slime as fun activities. Be sure to provide mermaid-approved snacks like ocean-themed cookies, blue vanilla cupcakes, and gummy sharks or whales!
With a little creativity and lots of sparkles, your mermaid-themed fĂȘte will be an event that kids will never forget!
