Idea 1: Under the sea balloon scene

This scene makes a stunning photo backdrop to snap all your mermaid party memories.

Idea 2: Magical mermaid balloon centerpiece

Plunge into the deep waters of DIY inspiration with this mermaid themed balloon arrangement. The centerpiece is held upright using a balloon stick, so no helium is needed. The balloon stick is hidden by a base layer of lavender mylar balloons tied together. The second layer of blue latex balloons are tied together in knots to form a cluster, then tied around the balloon stick with fishing line or thread.

Idea 3: Tail flipping tableware

Set a table fit for a mermaid with themed plates, cups, napkins and cutlery. The bright colors the illuminate party atmosphere with upbeat party vibes. The beautiful designs create shareworthy photos that will last a lifetime!

Idea 4: Fishing net decoration

An easy way to elicit the look and feel of the sea is to add a net to your balloon decoration. Pearl, iridescent and gold confetti filled balloons covered with white fishing net is a simple way to catch an amazing reaction from your party guests! You can't go wrong with balloons, they take style to new heights.

Idea 5: Irresistible iridescence

Make waves with a shimmery iridescent table setting and decorations. Iridescent balloons, plates and cups, and hanging decorations transport your guests to a magical underwater world where their cares drift away as they enjoy the day!

Idea 6: Fun with mermaid favors

Tell your party guests "sea you later" with party favors they can treasure as keepsakes! Fill mermaid favor bags or containers with goodies that will remind them of the magical day they shared with you.
