Mermaids evoke images of the legendary days of pirates. This romantic notion is one that some brides would like to recreate in their weddings. Read on to learn how to plan a wedding with a mermaid theme.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Begin your planning with great invitations. You may want to send a message in a bottle. You can purchase specific bottles that can be sent through the U.S. mail for this purpose.
Step2
Next, you will need to plan the location of your ceremony. If you can find some ruins next to the ocean, your setting would be perfect. However, if you do not have access to ruins or the ocean, plan your wedding in a casual and fun location.
Step3
Decide on the bride's wedding attire. If she is going to be in a traditional gown, the bridesmaids should follow suit. However, if the bride is going to be dressed as a mermaid and the groom as a merman, the bridesmaids and groomsmen can follow suit. Many costume magazine and rental stores carry mermaid outfits.
Step4
Decide on what type of music you would like to have for the ceremony. Often, a harp can evoke images of the sea.
Step5
Decide on the location of your reception. If you can set sail on an old ship, you will certainly be in keeping with your theme. If you cannot, decorating your reception area with old ship memorabilia and colors will do just as well.
Step6
Have the baker make a cake in the shape of a mermaid.
Step7
Serve seafood for at least a part of the reception.
Step8
Give the guests a wedding favor such as a small wooden ship.
