The easiest way to set the scene for your under-the-sea party is with this plus-sized mermaid party decoration kit.

Did someone say piñata?! There’s nothing like beating up a little mermaid for sweet treats. This beauty measures 16 inches high and 11.5 inches wide and is perfect for a The Little Mermaid party. However, she’d work great at any mermaid celebration. Choose your favorite candy or confetti and insert it into the opening on top.
These decorated donuts look patisserie-bought, and they’re so simple to prep with pre-made donuts. The Savvy Saving Couple created this recipe over here using a packet of glazed donuts and just four other ingredients: confetti sprinkles, a can of vanilla frosting, food coloring, and Wilton candy melts. Little ones will go nuts for these!
Potato sack racing never died, it just got way cooler. So kick off the fun party games with this set of 12 colorful nylon potato sacks. There’s no better way to create giggles than lining up a group of under-the-sea princesses for a game of jumping mermaids. First one to the line wins!
Here’s a beautiful chiffon table cloth to glam up the food table. It’s a 6ft skirt so it can either go along the front of a 6ft table or around the front and one side of a 4ft table.
