Easy Steps to a Mermaid Themed Party

Want a fresh approach to throwing a sand and sun themed party?  Try a mermaid fairy-tale party theme.  All it takes is a little bit of forethought to make a mermaid theme unforgetable .

Most themes begin with the focal point of the room, the unique nature of this party begins with the hostess herself.  She is the center of this world   For an elegant affair choose a sheath dress that opens into a flowing train near  the knees.  For a more casual get together, choose a bikini top made from coconuts with a sheath style skirt such as a sarong.

Of course, no outfit is realized without the proper foot attire .  You could go with an slides.  But for the mermaid theme the  best choice would be a pair of barefoot sandals.  They are comfortable and sexy, all while giving an elegant touch .  More importantly, they decorate your feet with the elements that a mermaid would most likely use for adornment, pearls and crystals.

The next consideration is the overall decor of your party venue. To take care of this, look for a location that you can quickly and easily adapt to your theme. Of course, a party on a beach is a natural fit but if that is not an option an indoor  venue  that maintains  the theme is doable. The key is in finding or creating an element that will serve as a focal point that will sell your theme. For instance, hold your celebration in a garden, or tasteful church multipurpose room and simply rent several fish tanks (fish included) and let as much of your lighting be filtered by the water as possible. Or if your pocketbook permits host the party in a restaurant with large fish tanks, or rent part of a local aquatic park. Done well a mermaid themed party could be just as incredible as your dreams.

Don’t forget the music! There are so many ways you can go. Remember the music sets the tone . For example, you could play up the fantasy and slip various songs from Disney’s moving-picture show and musical, The Little Mermaid into the mix. Or you could use a classical mix for a royal mermaid meets prince costumed ball look. Or perhaps your choice would be beach music of the fifties and sixties ? That will set still a different tone.

Of course, whether you have centerpieces on the snack bar table or on all the tables is a personal choice, but what mermaid themed party would be complete without a sandcastle centerpiece and beach themed favors scattered around the room as accent pieces that will double as the token that will remind your guests of your mermaid themed party for years to come.
