How to Host An Under the Sea Themed Birthday Party For Girls
Use an under-the-sea theme for your little girl's next birthday party if she's a fan of fish, dolphins, mermaids or other ocean-related creatures. Choose one or two details, such as seahorses or whales, to thread throughout the party to keep all the details related. Include your child's favorite colors, activities, games and foods, but rename them to fit into the theme. Does this Spark an idea?

Make your own invitations so guests know it's an under-the-sea party. Use images from your daughter's favorite movie, such as "The Little Mermaid" or "Finding Nemo," if those characters play into your party. Alternatively, use ocean-related shapes, such as fish, dolphins, an anchor or crab for the invitations.

Decorate the party space with tons of blue, green and turquoise balloons and streamers on the ceiling and ground to create an under-the-sea appearance. Make ocean creatures such as fish, dolphins, seahorses and whales out of craft foam or construction paper to hang from the streamers. Hang a personalized birthday banner that includes the birthday girl's name, or spell out her name with fish decorations.

Organize games, activities and crafts for the birthday girl and her friends. They can decorate crowns to play like mermaid princesses, or adorn small treasure boxes or picture frames with seashells or small fish. Play water games, such as balloon tosses, or let the kids go fishing with magnetized poles and plastic fish.

Serve ocean-themed food, such as fish crackers, gummy fish or fish-shaped finger foods. Submerge gummy fish in blue gelatin and serve it to the kids in clear containers. Rename your daughter's favorite foods, such as calling spaghetti "eels." Add sherbet to a clear soda for a bubbly and foamy drink to resemble the ocean.
