An under the sea theme is ALWAYS popular with kids – because what kid doesn’t love the water? Confetti Party Hire blew me away with this Under the Sea themed shoot for our magazine: https://issuu.com/lifeslittlecelebrations/docs/celebrating_20little_20ones_20magazine_20nov_20202
Starting with that balloon backdrop which blew me away!! The backdrop totally set the stage for this under the sea party with the balloon wall and floating balloons which looked like bubbles! Mixed in are the fun under the sea foil balloons and the “4” balloon mosaic…and all combined together creates a truly incredible under the sea party setup!!
The cake was just a stunning under the sea inspired cake with gorgeous details of shells and coral by Dous Dolce in Sydney! Topped with a fun topper supplied by Favor Lane party – this is truly a cake to inspire other Under the sea themed cakes to come!
Juicy strawberries by Dom’s Strawberries Delight added to the delicious desserts for this shoot!
The kids table setting was setup with net draping centerpiece, custom party bags and party hats by Eve and Co Stationery and all styled with tableware from Favor Lane:
For entertainment you can’t get more perfect than a Bubble Entertainer for an under the sea themed party! Bubbleheads in Sydney did not disappoint with her amazing bubble show and bubble entertainment to create an amazing array for bubbles to entertain the kids!
I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as these boys enjoyed being part of this shoot!

With the release of the new finding Dory movie, my prediction is an influx of kids requesting a Finding Dory party or underwater party this year!
My girls and I enjoyed the movie over the school holidays and it is definitely a fun one for both boys and girls – so if you have a little swimmer wanting a Dory (or Nemo) party, I’ve curated some Finding Dory party supplies to get you started!
Some inspiration to get you started – Â this table setting by Tiny Tots Events (Melbourne) is a great example of pulling it all together simply with theme treats, colour and sea shells as props!

So there you have it – my prediction for the newest up-and-coming party theme trend and how to pull it off. Have fun, and just keep swimming!
I LOVE a Mermaid party theme….I think it’s because of the gorgeous colour combinations that you often find with this theme….coral pinks, aqua blues, mint green, lavender…I love it all.
It is very easy to style with shells and other sea related decorations however I don’t even think you HAVE to go overboard with lots of sea related decor. You can just go with a very sea inspired colour scheme and using lots of these colours throughout your party alone can create a sea feel.
Here are some mermaid party supplies which will help you on your way to dreaming up a mermaid celebration for your child – many of course are from vendors listed in the Life’s Little Celebration’s children’s party directory!
