Want to Play Mermaids?

When I was a little girl, I loved playing mermaids in the summer pool. Summers in the South are hot, so I spent as much time in the pool as possible. I loved swimming, but most importantly I loved playing mermaids with my friends. If you remember the tv show H2O, you probably understand why.

Anyhow, I also have a summer birthday, so pool parties were basically a given no matter what age I was turning. They were easy, fun, and my favorite thing! So, how about I give homage to my mermaid dreams and talk about a mermaid birthday party!

Any kid obsessed with mermaids is sure to want this party theme, especially with the supplies Party Place has to offer. Especially with the new Little Mermaid movie, it will be a popular theme this summer!

Go ahead and grab the mermaid invitations to get this party started! You can buy them here.

Every mermaid birthday party needs water! So if you have a pool at your house, a friend’s, or a public pool you can use, that will be perfect for this!

I love a good balloon arch, as I am sure everyone is well aware of at this point. So, let’s start the décor off right with a balloon arch in some great under the sea colors like blue, purple, and green!

This color palette goes well with the decorations from Party Place.

For the food table, and even for the cake itself, definitely consider using these Sequined Mermaid Tail Picks. They can add some awesome flair! These are 7in so they absolutely pack a punch!

Speaking of food, do not forget the napkins. These Mermaids Have all the Fun napkins are perfect to set the mood for the party.

Once your little mermaids have all their fun, and it is time to go home, do not even think about forgetting the goodie bag! When I was a kid, these were my favorite.

Two essential components to the goodie bags are going to be these amazing Iridescent Mermaid Party Blowers and the Princess Mermaid dolls!

Party Place has it all to get the perfect mermaid party together for whoever you are celebrating. May all the little mermaids get to play together the same way I did as a child.

Summer Kick-Off Party

When you think of summer you think of the kiddos finally being home from school, but things have been slightly different this year with the kids coming home much sooner than they normally do. What better way than to mark the joyous occasion of summer break despite the no scenery change than with a fun summer kick-off party?

This is not meant to be a big bash that you invite a lot of guests to but rather something special for you and your family to have a mini one day stay-cation of sorts. In my personal opinion, no party, even ones at home, are complete without special decorations that set it apart from a regular day at home — even when the guests are your immediate family members.

When I was a kid my mom went all out for every single occasion — I am talking all of the bells and whistles and every tiny little detail thought of and let me tell you I can still remember these special moments and can’t wait to make them with my little boy as well.

This particular party is going to be more geared toward your younger kiddos, but you can certainly tailor it to fit a group of older kids. 

Don’t just make it about one little thing — plan multiple activities or fun surprises to space out over the entire day. But remember the most important thing… keep committed to the theme.

Here are a few ideas: pick up some small and fun plastic buckets or cups from the Party Place and make dirt in a cup for a yummy sweet mid-day treat. Perhaps take the kids outside for some fun in the sun with sidewalk chalk and celebrate with a few popsicles. Don’t have a pool? No problem! purchase a few lays and other luau items and have a faux pool-day the Islander way with the kiddie pool or sprinkler. Instead of sticking with your usual dinnerware grab some fun themed plate and napkins at the Party Place as well. 

Whatever you do just remember to make it fun and special. We are living in a different time right now which means we need different kinds of ideas for parties and fun with our loved ones.
