Sparkle Mermaid Party – Part 1 + Barbie Giveaway!

Hey party peeps! My daughters are heavy into mermaids right now. Riley takes her Barbie Pearl Princess Mermaid dolls into the bath with her almost every night, watches her Barbie: The Pearl Princess DVD almost every day and my older daughter Faith won’t swim without her Fin Fun Mermaid Tail, so when they decided on a Barbie Mermaid Party this summer, I wasn’t surprised. Taking inspiration from the Barbie Pearl Princess dolls and the Mermaid Tails, check out my ideas for our Sparkle Barbie Mermaid Party! I wanted to share as many photos as possible so I broke the post up into 2 parts! CLICK HERE to see Part 2—Sparkle Mermaid Party dining table, wish table & crafts station!

Sparkle Barbie Mermaid Party Dress Up Favor Table & Photo Booth!

To create this booth, I hung a turquoise sequin linen as a backdrop to resemble sparkly water and laid out a furry blue throw blanket to complete the look. Have a few props on hand to get that perfect shot like a Barbie mermaid doll, starfish, pearl balls and forks (a.k.a. dinglehopper). Setup a Dress Up Favor Table close by and fill it with dress up items for each guest that they can take home, like these personalized hand mirrors from Princess Mirrors that come with each guest’s name on them, tulle wands from Titi’s Tutus and pearlized gumball necklaces from Autumn Lynn’s Chocolate Sins!

GIRLFRIEND TIP: Have the girls take their photos as soon as they arrive so you can print them out on your home printer while the party is going on and have them ready for each girl to take home with them as a take-home favor. Once the girls have taken their photo, they can begin decorating their own frame for their photo.

Sparkle Mermaid Barbie Party Dessert Table!

I designed a mermaid themed sweets table with shades of blue, mint green and white. I added in lots of sparkle with sequins, glitter and rhinestone accents. How fabulous are those 3 crystal candle holders from Koyal Wholesale that look like giant bling bubbles and the two mini faux cakes and fondant mermaid tails by Fancy Cakes are just gorgeous! The Barbie Pearl Princess Dolls added a pop of color that was perfect against the custom water vinyl backdrop from Bubblegum Backdrops. Designer mermaid themed sweets included iced mermaid tail cookies by Creating Awesomenessity, ruffled cake pops and starfish iced cookies by Petit Plaisir Chocolata Treats, glittered cake pops and chocolate sea horse lollipops by Autumn Lynn’s Chocolate Sins and candy kabobs by Sweets Indeed. Next, I filled in the table with blue and white swirl lollipops, gummy rings and pufflettes from Sweet City Candy.
