Invitations
-
Decide on "Little Mermaid" invitations. While you can purchase ready-made invites from stores, depicting fish, crabs and other forms of marine life, you can also create your own from card stock. These invites can be cut into the shape of a shell or starfish, for example, and decorated with green tissue paper to represent seaweed. Inside the invites, add a quote from the film, followed by venue details and time of the party.
Decorations
-
Order balloons, party streamers and plenty of colored paper ahead of time to create decorations for the party; cover the walls and floor with these materials to create the illusion of bubbles and seaweed. Netting and cellophane are suitable for this purpose, too. The best colors here are those that suggest a marine environment, such as greens and blues. You can also buy shells to place around the venue, or find some yourself if you happen to live near the coast.

Eating and Drinking
-
You can purchase "The Little Mermaid"-themed eating and drinking supplies at websites such as Target.com. Available are cups, plates and even napkins that depict Ariel and other characters from the movie in marine scenes. If you want to go a step further, you can bake a birthday cake based on the movie, which can be decorated with blue and green icing, covered in seashell designs or display "The Little Mermaid" action figures or dolls positioned on top.
Gifts
-
If you want to offer a complete party experience, you will want to provide something for the birthday girl's friends to take home. Purchase themed favor packs online, based around Ariel and other characters from the movie, from websites such as BirthdayInABox.com. These packs may contain body glitter, bracelets and sticker packs, for example. If you would rather construct your own gifts, consider buying candy or marine-based toys and placing them in a decorated gift bag.
