Mermaid Party Ideas
How to set up a simple MERMAID party table that will wow your guests.
You can use multiple types of material here (ribbon, fabric) but the most cost-effective would be grabbing rolls of plastic table covers, cutting them into strips, then tying each strip onto your string or post that you will be hanging. Almost exaclty like the DIY tutu, just longer - depending on the length that you need. In our backdrop, we also added some glitter tulle & this touch of dimension made the back drop look so much more beuatiful - & "eh-hem" more expensive than it really was.
2. JELLYFISH
Found this tutorial on Pinterest! Original article from diyready.com
Made with round paper lanterns & strips of plastic table covers AND hot glue.
Use fishing line to hang, so they look invisible.
3. DESSERTS & PRESENTATION
A few things you need for your set up are
-variations of dessert, usually 3-4 different types is enough
For me I often go with, CAKE, MACARONS & CUPCAKES. You don't need a lot of each. I've hosted a party for 80 & went with - 3 dozen full cupcakes, 4 dozen macarons (they're tiny) & a 2 tier cake for 50. We also provided dinner....but once the dessert was open, there was still plenty left. I was practically forcing them down my guests throats.....cause I hate to have dessert go to waste, but I also don't want to be the one polishing them off!
- dimension for set up
If you love to party, some wooden crates would be a great addition to your set up collection. Keep their colors neutral (original wood or just white), so you can reuse them for every party & not have to worry about storage space. If you just don't have space for crates to lie around the house until your next event, my recommendation would be to collect some strong boxes (different sizes) & wrap them in solid colored wrapping paper or fabric. Then toss after use.
The basic rule for dessert set up is 3 levels. LOW-MEDIUM-HIGH
-So in this mermaid set up, I've used -
-the table as my low (with the gold plates & macarons)
- some cake stands & small crates as my medium
- and large crates (the cake) as my high
FOR THE KIDS
No Mermaid party is perfect without Ariel!
Our party was in November (in Canada), so yes there was snow & she rang the doorbell, arrived exactly how you see her. No coat & from what I saw, no shoes.

She was absolutely wonderful and did not break character for one second!
The kids loved her, they did crafts & she sang her songs perfectly! Now if you are so lucky to have access to these Princesses, I highly recommend one for your party to complete the magical experience.

For crafts, each child was given a plain treasure box to decorate as they wish & then treasure hunted for little trinkets.
