Under The Sea Themed Birthday Party!

Do you a little one who loves The Little Mermaid? It’s one of my daughters favorite movies so when she requested a mermaid party a few years ago, I had a lot of fun with the theme, as you will see!

I found this underwater/waves banner that I hung from our fireplace mantle on Amazon. If you can’t find a banner like this, just hang blue and white streamers in a pattern and it will look just as nice! I printed off some pictures from our Disney trips of us meeting Ariel, her castle, and her underwater grotto and hung them from some twine over the waves. I also added some clear balloons to look like bubbles!

I found some coral accents and bowls at Target and Walmart. Just look in your local stores, you never know what you will find! Adding in Ariels signature made it much more magical!

I used Disney figurines for the top of the cake and accents everywhere. Then after the party is over, you have toys to play with!

These oyster cookies were so fun and easy to make! Use wafer cookies, put icing (I used leftover that I had from making the cake) on the bottom of one, add an edible pearl and then top with a another cookie to make your oyster! I also got this bowl at Walmart. I added brown sugar to look like sand.

The cake was the hardest part for me. I love making them from scratch, but it’s sometimes a little stressful. I found some food dye that matched Ariels colors pretty well, so I decided to do a mermaid scale look. Obviously any pattern would look great, this is just what was easiest for me at the time! I made a double layer cake and then frosted the sides and the top. I used brown sugar again around the border to look like sand. We also bought some banners and other decorations from Amazon.
