Mermaid party ideas help the Pink Heaven Party Angels to take a trip under the sea and swim and play with the other sea folk.

Creating a mermaid party is so much fun and with these mermaid party ideas you will find it so easy to have the perfect underwater sea palace party set up in no time.

Whether the party is based upon Disney’s Little Mermaid, Ariel, or little Pink Heaven mermaids there are plenty of mermaid ideas that will keep all the little sea creatures amused and plenty of party supplies from the USA or UK!

Also if it's a nice day why not take the party outside and let the little mermaids play in the sand pit or go for a paddle in the pool. Just make sure they bring their swimming costumes.

INVITATIONS

You can either buy Little Mermaid invitations or why not make some of your own party invitation ideas with this mermaid party idea. Just take some plain pink paper to write all the party details on. Try something like this:

"To my marvellous mermaid friend, (guests name)

Please visit me in my underwater palace at (address of party) for my shimmering birthday celebration on (date of party) for plenty of mermaid fun and games. King Triton, King of all the sea, requests that you dress in your most beautiful mermaid attire and arrive promptly at (time of party).

Yours swimmingly Mermaid Princess (birthday girls name)”

Next add some glitter to the paper then roll the invitation up and place in a clear plastic bottle. Add some sand along with small shells and gems and then replace the lid or add a cork before delivering to the party guests.

If you want to make some easy but professional looking invites then the Pink Heaven Party Angel recommends creating extraordinary free digital invitations in minutes at Smilebox.com! You can even add your own photos, video clips and music.

DECORATIONS

To create an underwater grotto use some mermaid party ideas for decorations to decorate a large room with shimmery paper. Cover the bottom half of the walls in blue paper and hang strips of green crepe paper from the ceiling for seaweed.

Then stick some cut out pink star fish, sea horses, shells etc. around the room.
You could also use the blue shimmery paper to hang on the doorways so it really does feel like each little mermaid is entering an underwater palace.
Cover the main party table with a mermaid tablecloth and then cover with a net. Then add a mermaid centerpiece
Lay some shells on the table as confetti and place a small plastic pink mirror by each guests place so that each mermaid can admire themselves!
Cover the birthday girls chair with gray material to look like a rock on which the beautiful mermaid sits.
Buy some pink or shimmering green and blue table wear or use Disney's The Little Mermaid deluxe party pack.
Blue balloons on the floor of the room are a great mermaid party idea as they give an underwater feel along with some shells (either collected from the beach or bought) placed on shelves and tabletops.
Hang fairy lights around the room, try ones with a blue or green lights.
Also have a bubble machine going in the background to really set the scene.
Don't forget to hang up your mermaid personalized banner!

PARTY COSTUMES

Little Mermaid costumes are easy to find in many shops that sell children’s costumes. Wear with a seaweed boa and shell wand. If you have a younger child why not get them a cute infant mermaid costume.

If you want to make your own use some shimmering material and sew into a skirt with a small fin on the end. Get your little Pink Heaven Party Angel to wear it with a pink bikini top. Decorate both with small sequins and gems.
