We are sharing easy diy ideas that will make waves at your mermaid themed party! Check out our DIY balloon cake topper for your mermaid inspired cake and clam shell cookies that can be a super fun party activity for the entire family!

I know we all are still social distancing but it doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate special dates. Make it fun and special for your child even if it has to be a virtual party or a celebration just for your immediate family.

Set the tone for your event with a darling mermaid themed invitation design that will get your guests excited to party with you even if it’s from distance.

As a birthday cake idea, you can order a simple mermaid inspired buttercream cake and jazz it up with a DIY balloon topper. I used 5” white and clear balloons to mimic bubbles.

No birthday party is complete without coordinating cookies. These adorable mermaid cookies were designed to perfectly match the invitation design. You can drop off a sweet treat for your virtual guests at their front door as a thank you for participating.

Cupcakes are mandatory at every party! For a pretty presentation, coordinating cups and mini flags can add such a cute touch. Your family will love them!

It’s your child’s first birthday party and she can’t have guests over, but it doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy a festive party tablescape.

To match the birthday party color palette, incorporate fun paper partyware. This mint green party collection with details in gold foil by Paper Eskimo is absolutely beautiful and so versatile. You can layer plates in two different sizes to add texture to your tablescape and complement them with matching cups, straws, napkins and pillow boxes.
