Mermaid Party!

I am SO excited to show you my daughter's Mermaid Theme Birthday party collection! It was designed by Shana over at Belva June , You have to stop by her site and look at all of her AWESOME party collections!

She helped me design and plan the best Mermaid party ever for my little girl! We wanted to have her party at an outdoor water park where all of her Mermaid and Pirate friends could splash around! With Shana's help, we had so many fun things going on at our party. Here are some shots of all the action!

Just look at these adorable cupcake toppers! Those little guys turned out great.

I followed the very detailed tutorial over at Sun Scholars on this here Watermelon shark and I have to say he looks AWESOME! Thanks to her great instructions this guy was the talk of the party :) Funny thing is though, I never took one photo of his mouth full of the watermelon balls! Unfortunate but let me tell ya, it was tastey. Using the Food labels that Shana made for the party, I labeled all the Blue Jello cups with Red Swedish Fish as "Shark Bait!" Too Cute Ha?!

I really loved the Blue Gatorade that we served to our thirsty Mermaids and Pirates as "Sea Water"!

We also had labeled and served, "GoldFish" Crackers, a Delicious "Shell Pasta" Salad that even had yummy ingredients from my own garden it in, Carrot Sticks as "Crab legs" and I bought a set of Under the Sea Cookie cutters off of Ebay and we had a "make your own peanut butter & jelly" table where they could cut there sandwiches with either a Mermaid, Seashell or Starfish!

Each Little Mermaid at the party received their Very own Mermaid Tail towel and Bubbles with their names on it as their table setting. All the Pirates that attended received Bubbles and a fierce Pirate hat!

And my most favorite of all!! This awesome Photo prop that my AMAZING husband made for the party! I asked him if he could drum up a simple Mermaid photo prop for his daughter's party and he delivers this! I mean COME ON?! He hand drew and painted the entire thing himself! He built a stand for it and everything and we were able to take some awesome pictures of every child that attended our Mermaid party.

Thanks Babe!

In addition to our fun feast, an awesome Little Mermaid Photo prop, A super fun water park to play at, we also had a cute  Mermaid pinata and goodie bags that consisted of Hersheys Nuggets Treasures, Pirates Gold, Seashells and a Beautiful Jeweled ring :)

"Having you was such a pleasure! Hope you enjoy your sunken treasure!"

And lastly for my Mermaid Tail Towels! When my little girl said she wanted to have a Mermaid Party I just knew that I wanted to do something fun! I searched Mermaid tails and happened to see some that were from Pottery Barn but where running at a very steep price! I thought, "you know, I bet I could make those!" Just like all us crafty moms I set to work! And here is my outcome! All the girls at the party LOVED their Mermaid Tail Towels and really enjoyed wearing them at the party! Here are two lovely Mermaids now enjoying the swishing of their tails :)

Stay tuned for my Mermaid Tail Towel Tutorial!! And for more great photos of the Mermaid Party collection in action check out Shana's Blog and tell her hello!!
