Mermaid Birthday Party

Warm weather is upon us (well it is for us Texans) so I thought it was time for a Mermaid Party design make-over.

I’ve updated and added some new designs to my party pack. Also a special cookie fanatic friend of mine made some adorable cookies to match!

Mermaid Party Updates

Each Mermaid Party Pack now comes with 11 digital files (6 are brand new!). Plus, the invitations are customizable so you can add your own party information yourself before you print!

Mermaid Party Invitation

 

Choose from four different mermaids to find one that looks like your party girl.

 

My daughter STILL talks about her party that was several years ago! We might have to do another mermaid party this summer just for fun.

Seahorse Cookies

I’m so excited about these adorable cookies Bridget from Bake at 350 made of my seahorses! How cute are these? I gasped when I opened my email from her and saw her photos:-)

Seahorse Sugar Cookies for Mermaid Party

I simply designed a template for her and she performed her cookie magic! You can download the template for FREE, then head over to her blog for detailed directions on how to make them. Or, if you’re like me… you’ll drool over her detailed photos, then plan to give this template to a person who can make the cookies for you! ha.

  3. Well there is no better beach the the white sands of Clearwater Beach, Florida. My daughter is turning 4 at the end of July and she has selected a mermaid theme. You by far have the best to offer that is non Disney related. Thank you!

  5. I love going to the beaches in both Florence and Lincoln City, Oregon. They are beautiful. The water is never really warm enough to swim in, but you can always get you feet wet and search through tidal pools.

  10. Goleta Beach (In Goleta, CA). Stumbled across your blog as I am trying to plan a mermaid party for my almost 3 year old 🙂

  13. Being from Australia, my favourtie beaches are all on the fantastic sunset west coast, near my hometown of Perth! The most favourite one, is a place called Mettam’s Pool, which is a natural lagoon, so really safe for the little ones to play in the gentle waves, and a brilliant cafe almost across the road for coffee’s and milkshakes after a swim adn a play in the sand!

  14. Hi! Gosh you have a ton of comments, I hope this doesn’t get lost! I just wanted to say that your mermaid party was a huge inspiration for me. I modeled my daughter’s 2nd birthday after it and it was a HUGE hit. Moms are still telling me about their girls wearing mermaid skirts. I incorporated Ariel into it and made the skirts green. For the boys I made “Sebastian hands” out of felt sewn with embroidery floss and turned out…too bad none of the boys wore them for more than 30 seconds lol! I was so glad to find your blog and get (steal) so many great ideas…my house looked so cute with chinese lantern bubbles, pink flowing “kelp” hanging from the ceiling, pearls hanging from the chandelier and a silver “waterfall’ back drop for the b-day girl! Keep up the great work and thank you again!!!

    My most absolute favourite beach has to be Panama City Beach in Florida.

    The sand is so white and bright, and the water is so clear. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

  191. I live in the “Land of Lincoln” so beaches are rare. My girls love to go to Lake Evergreen which is a man-made lake nearby where they have a “beach” for kids to play at. When we finally make it to the ocean they are going to be very surprised!

    Lack of water has not impeded their imagination….they love pretending to be mermaids by using body-pillow cases as tails!! 🙂

  193. Our family loves Ocean City, MD. My husband has fond memories of his grandparents taking him there as a child, we went almost every summer weekend while we were dating, and now we take our family every summer! It’s the best!

  194. my favorite beach is jekyll island, georgia … it’s a quiet beach and also where we got married. it will always have a special place in my heart. 🙂

  199. I love to go to San Diego. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Poipu (Kauai.) Unfortunately I don’t get there very often. haha.

  200. I don’t just LIKE your page on FB, I love it! I can’t wait to see all of your new posts and templates! Great stuff!

  201. I LOVE all beaches… there’s something about sand, sun & waves that just takes me away from everything else, but my very favorite beaches are in the Outer Banks of North Carolina! We have had lots of great times there!

  204. A favorite beach…any along Oregon shoreline! Port Orford really has some beautiful diversity.

  205. Married on Long Boat Key in Florida…beautiful setting. Favorite beaches though include all in Maui–can’t beat Hawaii!

  211. I live in Tampa, so I have access to lots of wonderful beaches. My daughter and I like to go to the beach at John’s Pass as it is a nice family friendly beach and easy to get to. Clearwater beach has more fun activities, but it is just too crowded and the traffic is terrible.

  212. I like Boracay Beach found in the Philippines, famous for its white soft sands.

  215. I have only been to Panama City Beach Florida … it was lovely! As a family we have very much enjoyed Moonshine Beach in Branson, MO … it’s on a lake but still very nice 🙂

  216. My favorite beach would have to be any along the Great Ocean Road in Australia. We lived there for a few years and noe live in the middle of Australia with our kids – as far away from the beach as you can get, though we do have plenty of sand :). I miss the waves!

  223. Since I live in the midwest I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting any beaches yet 🙁 But, I have been to Jamaica and that was a beautiful beach. Love your site Amy

  245. Our favorite beaches are Orange Beach in AL and Destin, FL. I “like” you on FB already and never miss a day of checking out what’s on your mind. Thanks for all the inspiration.

  247. My favorite beach is Agate Beach in Grand Marais, Michigan. Grand Marais is a town of about 300 and right on Lake Superior. While I now find it too cold to actually go swimming in the lake, I can remember swimming there every year when I was a kid. Lake Superior is the deepest lake of the Great Lakes and therefor is COLD! While I no longer swim I love to watch my children enjoy the water while I sit on the beach. Yup you guessed it, looking for agate rocks is what I like to do. I could spend all day there just looking at sand, rocks and water!

    I love your page and have “liked” your fb page for a while. LOVE IT ALL!

  250. Live in South Africa, Favorite Beach – Victoria Bay in George and I loved the beaches in Thailand.

  253. My favorite beach is Navarre Beach and Destin Beach in NW Florida. Although, any beach is really good. 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway, Amy — great designs!

  254. I haven’t met a beach I didn’t like, but my favorite is Del Mar Beach in CA. There are usually more dogs than people 🙂

  256. Amy, This is just a darling set and the time could not be any better since I was just trying to decide what to do for my daughter’s birthday on May 8th. This set is lovely and you make such pretty things. it’s always a treat to see a new post. I am already a fan on Facebook because I love your site.

Its where I would revisit time and time again in my mind when I got diagnosed with aggressive cancer after the birth of my second child- and where I hope to visit again one day with my loving husband and my beautiful children to re-new and repromise my vows.

    My Secon child, “Charlotte” will be 5 in July. She LOVES mermaids. This would absolutely be the perfect theme for her. Thanks for offering as a giveaway. 🙂
