I am excited to share this gorgeous modern take on the popular mermaid party theme as featured in Issue 25 of CELEBRATE Magazine!
A mermaid party theme is always a fantastic choice for a girls birthday party and has so many pretty colour options and I love the gorgeous colours chosen for this one!
With beautiful balloons and props including a mermaid shell party backdrop and mermaid tail – the mermaid party theme was set with gorgeous touches of florals and balloons and a mermaid theme cake all to bring the theme to life in a gorgeous way. All the mermaid party favourd were displayed beautifully on a “fintastic treats” shelf as well as on the kids party table also
The whole room was setup and styled for a fun, colourful and bright mermaid party celebration!
It isn’t a mermaid party without a mermaid themed cake and I love the gorgeous details on this Mermaid birthday party cake!
All the desserts and favours were also themed for a mermaid party such as these mermaid themed cakesicles
The table setting was brought to life with gorgeous shell placecards and themed paperie!
No detail was missed with mermaid party themed touches through every childs table setting!
All the party favours had gorgeous shell and mermaid touches such as these gorgeous candy boxes with shell acrylic tags:
The kids loved the fairy floss and all the treats all personalised with mermaid themed party labels
For the entertainment the kids enjoyed a fabulous jumping castle as well as lots of creative activities from painting, colouring a custom tablecloth, mermaid themed tattoos and more!
These are great options for a 5 year old age group as they can have lots of fun on the castle but also be calm and creative from sit down activites which they are old enough to manage
The custom colouring tablecloth was perfect for a mermaid party theme!
It truly was such a special mermaid party

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!

A mermaid kids party is still one of the popular themes for girls this year, and today Tina from Camilla Events shares her daughters mermaid party with us….
“Camilla’s love for all things under the sea began with Finding Dory. Somewhere between movie viewings, helping dad feed her pet fish “Atticus Nobu”, and visits to the aquarium, Camilla discovered mermaids. This obsession would trump all others. The brief for her second birthday theme was confirmed when she dug my bra out of the clothes basket, wrapped it around her chest and proclaimed, “Mummy! Look, mermaid!”
I’m not a stylist, but as the owner of my boutique invitation business, Camilla Events, I’ve seen my fair share of parties. I know every kids birthday needs five little touches to really make waves; The invitation, signage, party favours, decorations, and of course the cake. The trick is to try and find creative ways for these items to match the theme, and put it all together on a budget.
I always say, the invitation sets the tone for the guests. Camilla’s 2nd birthday invite included all the mermaid theme must haves; the tail, a clam shell, fish and bubbles. I chose Lilac as the hero colour, with teal and a touch of peach. Printed double-sided on luxe 350gsm silk paper stock, Camilla squealed with delight when she first saw them, and that was all the validation I needed.
With a gorgeous rock garden feature at home as a perfect under the sea backdrop, my styling requirements were minimal. The talented Jo from Jo’s Signs by Design printed a giant 1.2m wide clam shell, an element I chose from my invitation design. This sat next to the clear cake plinth from Sweet Heavenly Events & Hire, dressed with a fishing net I purchased on ebay.
A 1.8m coral and bubble inspired balloon installation tied it all together. I created this with help from my father who built the structure (bless him!) and my dear hubby who pumped 90 balloons (with the footy on in the background).
Our party was an intimate one, so I wanted something a little customised, and on-theme. The double cookie clams by Sweet Couture were as delicious as they look. I finished them with personalised favor tags to match the invitations.
Of course, the main event of the party is the cake, and this masterpiece was on point, courtesy of my dear friend Sarah from Sweet Cheeks Cakes.
Camilla’s excitement melted my heart, and the party was a huge success. All the hard work was worth it, and I hope it gives inspiration to other mothers of little mermaids.

My daughter Naomi loves to swim and so of course her favourite Princess is Ariel. For her 5th birthday she requested a mermaid party – which I was secretly delighted about as it is a theme I really love too!
I’m no stylist…just a mum who loves children’s parties like all of you! However I definitely had fun putting this together and all the pieces from various Life’s Little Celebrations members really made the theme come alive.
This party was featured in Issue 2 of Celebrating Little One’s magazine and since Issue 3 is due out tomorrow I thought I better get around to sharing it!!
Naomi was SO excited about her birthday. As a mum – it always gives me great joy to see the birthday excitement that comes about around party time from my kids! Now that we have 4 little one’s I don’t go all out for every party however after keeping things low key for Joshua’s 2nd birthday and Rebekah’s 6th birthday during my pregnancy I wanted to do something a little special for Naomi’s 5th birthday.
As far as decor I decided to incorporate the iridescent trend starting from the invitations and stationery, to the plates and tableware to the decorations via the wall tassels and balloon tassels and the beautiful desserts. I went with clear plinths, cake stands and chairs which helped all the colours to stand out. Enjoy the photos by Captured by Kirri and all the vendor credits are listed at the end of this post!
The layers and iridescent touches in this invitation by Eve and Co were truly gorgeous!:
Here is the dessert table setup and as you can see the clear plinths and cake stands from Sweet Heavenly Events really help the backdrop and balloons to stand out!:
The details on the cake and desserts by Sweets with Love were nothing short of amazing! The colours and iridescent touches were featured beautifully on the cake, cheesecakes, tarts and donuts!:
I love all the amazing balloon touches and decor from Party Splendour!
The iridescent look continued onto the kids table through the partyware and and tablecloth:
These cookie mix bottles from Sweet Health were the perfect extra party favour for the kids to take home, bake and enjoy!
The kids also took home these iridescent party bags from Favor Lane with cute shell tags by Eve and Co, filled with some edible goodies and a few mermaid themed items:
Ariel of course had to be a part of the day which Naomi was so excited about!
Thank you to these Life’s Little Celebration members involved in Naomi’s celebration!
