DIY Little Mermaid Party

You're going to love this and want to plan the next little girl's party or take some great ideas for your own party planning.  This is such a cute party idea.  So many DIY details!

Stephanie from Executive Creations blog was very creative and thrifty in planning her daughter's 4th birthday party.  Visit her blog for source details and to see more creative ideas!

Fishing nets, balloons and paper fish is an inexpensive and easy (and awesome!) decorating idea...

A sandcastle birthday cake doubles as decor. The cake was coated in graham crackers and sugar to create the sand effect for her sand castle.

Starfish/seashells and fishing nets are a great alternative to the licensed decor and much prettier. 



The kids went on a treasure hunt to find their treasure chests filled with chocolate coins, jewels and sea creatures.  Clues were hidden all over the house.

 How cute are these fish?  They were a birthday present to her daughter.

Stephanie used pages from an old Little Mermaid book to make the favor tags and aqua netting bags.





 
Gatorade with labels made from old Little Mermaid book. 




So many cute ideas.  Love the pixie sticks and star wands in mini-donuts.

Cupcake toppers were made from the same book. 

And a pretty birthday banner.

 What a pretty party!  I think I'll volunteer to plan my niece's next birthday.  I'm so inspired by the cute details and great ideas.  Thanks for sharing your creativity, Stephanie!
