A Mermaid Themed Birthday Party!

It's time to Shellebrate! Lily just turned 8 years old, and chose a fun disco mermaid theme for her birthday party. We went with a shimmery underwater vibe for this mermaid birthday party, using tons of iridescent & metallic party decorations. This birthday party theme is perfect for kids of all ages!

You can grab everything for this party from my boutique party shop, Pretty Day! The incredible pictures of our underwater disco party were taken by my friend Morgan from Amazing Day Photography, and they perfectly captured the mermaid vibe we were going for.

We fully embraced the disco mermaid theme and transformed her party into an underwater wonderland with our shimmery decorations. We used these metallic silver curtains for a real underwater bubbly feel to create the perfect mermaid aesthetic. 

 After picking a birthday party theme, and narrowing down the party colors I like to get started on a balloon garland. The mermaid balloon garland will be the focal point of the party so I aways like to start there! I chose shimmery metallic balloons in purples and blues for my balloon garland. At Pretty Day we have a custom DIY balloon garland kit that makes it easy to style an affordable balloon garland for any party! Check it out here.

I love adding some customized extras to every balloon garland I make. For this disco mermaid party, I went with jumbo disco ball balloons, mini silver stars & of course, a holographic mermaid balloon!

Every mermaid party needs a shimmery banner! We went with this custom glitter banner in purple.
Then we set the table! I used our eco-friendly paper table cloths in two colors! I used blue for the main table cloth, then I DIY'd a table runner out of our purple paper table cloth.

One of my favorite parts of decorating for a birthday party is setting the table! I love picking out the coordinating table wear and pulling it all together!
To add some extra flair to our mermaid party, I opted for these delightful purple checkered dinner plates and shimmering conch shell plates. Don't they just scream mermaid vibes? I chose simple striped napkins and layered these sweet shell napkins on top! Grab our wooden pastel cutlery here.

Let's talk FOOD! To achieve the perfect mermaid aesthetic, mermaid party food is a must! I found tons of great ideas on pinterest such as Rice Krispie treat sea stars, DIY macaron seashells & adorable gummy crabs!
