The Table:
Get busy creating your own Mystical Mermaid Party table by layering the table in a Hot Pink Plastic Tablecloth topped with an adorable Mermaid Plastic Tablecloth Roll as a table runner. This sets the perfect scene for your under the sea adventure!The Place Settings:
For the place settings, we layered a Hot Pink Charger Plate with a Lavender Square Paper Dinner Plate, a Turquoise Quatrefoil Dinner Plate and topped them with a themed purple Sea Shell Shaped Plate. For a playful touch we added a glittered bubble from the Bubble Hanging Decoration and a White Starfish. Each place setting displayed a darling jeweled Hot Pink Plastic Fork that we created by using Self-Adhesive Pearl Jewels. They looked elegant resting upon a Pink Chevron Luncheon Napkin. Lastly, we placed a Pastel Magic Color Scratch Mermaid on the front of the Clear Glass Milk Bottles and added a Mint Green Striped Paper Straw to complete our mermaid look.
The Favors:
We created our own unique favor boxes by adding a Pastel Magic Color Scratch Mermaid to the front of each Purple Favor Boxes along with some Self-Adhesive Pearl Jewels to represent bubbles! They looked perfect sitting alongside our place settings! Nothing is more fun than Mermaid Rubber Duckies! These Mermaid Rubber Duckies were the perfect addition to our table and the kids loved taking home this playful and silly party favor!
The Centerpiece:
We really wanted to incorporate a beachy feel into our table display and seashells were just the right detail! Using White Self Adhesive Letters, we decorated our "message in a bottle" type Clear Vintage Soda Bottles to spell out the word "SWIM". We then surrounded our Clear Vintage Soda Bottles with a mix of large and colorful seashells for just the right look! Lastly, we layered in some White Starfish to complete our centerpiece!
The Backdrop and Dessert Display:
We really wanted to create the ultimate under the sea feel for our backdrop and dessert display! A great tip to help set the scene is to use plastic table cloths as part of your backdrop! We layered our buffet with a Teal Lagoon Tablecloth and topped it with some fun Natural Fish Net Wall Decorations. We love how this scaled Mermaid Plastic Tablecloth Roll looked up on our wall! We added some name detailing to Sea Shell Shaped Plates for a personalized touch using White Self Adhesive Letters.
Our favorite detail of the entire dessert display was of course our under the sea sunken treasure Chest, full of bountiful pirate booty!
We filled our pirate Chest with an array of colorful Coins and Faux Pearl Necklaces.
We added some fun details to the front of the chest for some extra mermaid touches!
Extra shells and starfish were placed throughout the buffet for a chic under the sea look. For tips and tricks to create your own DIY Mermaid Party Backdrop and Dessert Display, be sure to check out our tutorial here!
