An underwater party can create an enchanting ambiance.
An underwater party can be an enchanting experience for guests. From shipwrecked sailors to mythical mermaids, you can transform your party location into a deep blue sea. For any event, every detail counts, so make sure to pay special care and attention to your decorative pieces. Does this Spark an idea?
Theme
Your basic theme colors will be blue and green, which are the colors that best represent the ocean. A fantasy underwater party will be inspired by the likes of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" or Greek myth and other underwater cultural lore. One that includes only real-life creatures will utilize decor involving fish, dolphins and other real sea creatures.
Your invitation will set the tone for your entire event. Be creative and send message-in-a-bottle invites to your guests. Do this by writing all the information on a piece of parchment paper. Roll it up in a miniscroll. Place this bottle with sand and mini-sea shells. For a store bought option, find underwater-themed invitations at a store.
Decor
Find the perfect backdrop. Use a large expansive backdrop of the ocean and hang it onto a wall. Get crafty and paint an entire underwater scene on butcher paper. Purchase an underwater scene setter for a more realistic ocean look. Rent a bubble machine to create a unique underwater atmosphere. Use blue and green balloons. Create a balloon arch at your entrance.
Fish are a necessary part of underwater decor. Post pictures of fish on the wall. Find mylar balloons of fish, whales and more. You can also use fish cutouts and 3D tissue bubble fish. Use real fish and fill a fish tank with inexpensive fish.
To decorate your table, arrange coral, star fish and sea shells on a fishing net. You can also use iridescent green or blue table cloths. Find underwater theme cups and dishes.
