Little Mermaids Table
The mermaids' table is covered with a mermaid tablecloth and a net. Pretty mermaid plates have a sparkle to them that shines like the sun shining through the ocean water.
The foil sparkle matches the adorable sea shell plates and the shiny scales on the napkins.
Darling mermaid tail party favor boxes are awaiting each party guest on their plate at the table. Each tail box is filled with sweet treats for all the little mermaids at the party.
I used a glue gun to glue small white shells to the bottom of each pink spoon and fork. I love how this adds more dimension to the utensils and matches the party theme perfectly.
Pretty pink cups match the pink utensils.
I painted shell card holders with white spray paint, then brushed on a thin layer of Mod Podge to the shells. While the Mod Podge was still wet, I sprinkled iridescent glitter over the front, back, and sides of each shell. Aren't they gorgeous?! They're so glittery and sparkly, perfect for a little girl's birthday.
I created free printable cards that say "Welcome Mermaid" and placed them inside the shell card holders at each place setting.
Flip a Mini Ocean Bottle upside down and watch the glitter, sand, and shells swirl and twirl. This party craft can be made ahead of time of made by the kids at the party. Kids LOVE making and playing with these.
At the center of the table is a fun Ocean Bubbles Centerpiece I made. The blue box represents the ocean while all the clear balloons are the bubbles in the sea!
One each side of the bubble centerpiece is a stand up mermaid tail and shell. They add a nice height to the table and look great with the rest of the party colors.
Mermaid Desserts
Even mermaids need their dessert, and they can find it all at out Mermaid Dessert Bar!
A large mermaid tail ring toss game doubles as a centerpiece for the table. You can also use a mermaid backdrop as a table cover too! Just hang matching bubbles down the front to tie in the under the sea look.
Rock candy in purple and blue, salt water taffy, and licorice seaweed are irresistable treats for the little swimmers.
They can wash it all down with a glass of mermaid drink, a pink, purple, and blue frothy punch that bubbles and fizzes like the ocean itself!
