Mermaid Bridal Shower Decorations

Decorations for a mermaid themed bridal shower event are vivid, bright, and joyful, so get ready to fill the party venue full of colors and whimsical details. Ariel from The Little Mermaid, of course, has to make a debut, so whether you opt for one or twenty Ariel décor pieces, they are sure to set the tone. Glittering scaled tablecloths and mermaid tail bows for chairbacks are delightful pieces that are also unique. Centerpieces of seashells, accents of floating candles and flowers in water bowls, and vases of rainbow-hued sand are all essential aesthetics for a mermaid bridal shower. Glimmering seashell garland, oceanic ambient lighting, and tropical music set the stage makes everyone to feel like a mermaid! Place conch shells around for guests to “hear the ocean” and set up both a mermaid photo booth complete with props, along with a stand-up for guests to stick their heads through to pose for pictures as a mermaid. Remember: you can never have enough glitz, glitter, or colors of aqua and blue reminiscent of the sea.

Mermaid Bridal Shower Food

The food spread for a mermaid bridal party is equally as fabulous as the decorations. An oyster bar is a fantastic idea, or a general seafood one. If guests or the bride aren’t too keen on that type of food, you can always mimic your deserts to look like they came from under the sea! Clam shaped sugar cookies, mermaid cake pops, or pearly shell candies are all delectable and joyful creations that no one will soon forget. Come up with a themed beverage that stays with the shower theme. You can’t go wrong with jars of gummy fish and a shower cake double tiered with sparkling mermaid toppers, too. It’s always a good idea to keep bridal shower food light and easy to eat, so finger fares are definitely a way to go as much as you can.

Mermaid Bridal Shower Favors and Games

Of course, you can’t forget the best part about the mermaid bridal shower—and that’s what the guests get to take home with them! Favors can be fun and girly, such as mermaid keychains, candle holders, Bath Salts, Bath Bombs, clay figurines, seashells with fortunes inside, or even a copy of The Little Mermaid movie. Gourmet treats reminiscent of mermaid princess royalty can be bagged up in little seashell shaped boxes. You can even come up with cool prizes and favors for guests to win through bridal shower games! Stick with classic bridal shower games, but give them a mermaid twist. For example, create a Bridal Bingo or Bridal Mad Libs in the motif of mermaid imagery and words. Make something truly interactive by having guests use makeshift items to DIY a hilarious mermaid getup for the bride-to-be! There are limitless options when it comes to games, and every bridal shower should have at least two of them. Pin the fishtail on the mermaid can also be a hilarious game that everyone loves to get into.

Regardless of how bold or subtle you go with your décor, food, and fun, a mermaid themed bridal shower is sure to go down in the history books—and make one bride certainly very happy.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed

A bridal shower is a magical time of celebrating a bride marrying her one true love, and what better way to make this even memorable than to give it a classic and romantically traditional theme. The most well-known saying regarding nuptials is “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” and most brides still incorporate this tradition into their wedding day. Send out those Tiffany blue invitations and get the bride and all her guests excited for a classically delightful bridal shower!

Something Blue Decors

For decorations, posing up signs and chalkboards displaying the age-old saying “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue!” is a fun and happy way to get everyone on board with the awesome party motif. Have accents displayed that are heirlooms from the bride or groom’s parents or grandparents to represent “something old” and post up a clothesline of photos of the bride and groom as “something new”. Get the guests involved by asking them to bring one of each of the sayings: old, new, borrowed, and blue for the bride to keep! Incorporate plenty of soft, bridal blues into the décor with tablecloths, runners, backdrops, and plenty of flowery garland and balloons. White flowers make great floral centerpieces, while burlap and jewels bring in whimsical and elegant feel to the party space.

Something Blue Food

For food, you can really be creative here. From beautifully adorned desserts that look almost too pretty to eat to classic family recipes, you can create a setup that the bride and all of her guests are taken by. The bridal shower cake can be a tiered blue one or it can be a sheet cake with a screened sugar photo of the bride and her mother and grandmother. Serve desserts on white porcelain platters with food labels that boast an old timey cursive font. Frosted blue cupcakes with pearl accents, apothecary jars full of Jordan almonds, and towers of pastel hued macaroons are gorgeous additions for the sweet tooth. The perfect beverage station could consist of mimosas and pink lemonade, while saltier fares could range from tea sandwiches to old recipes from generations past.

Game & Favor Ideas

Party games can also be delightfully diverse, with old games like Bridal Bingo or newer games with hilarious Truth or Dare for the bride. You can even have a storytime in which each guests shares an old memory of herself and the bride. Party favors can be given as prizes for these games and activities, or you can make burlap goodie bags full of gourmet treats. You can even fill a party favor box full of gifts that represent each of the four: old, new, borrowed, and blue. The guests and bride are sure to remember this bridal shower forever.

Fiesta Bridal Shower Decors

A great place to start is with your party décor. Bright blues, yellows, greens, and reds all merge splendidly together and with a fiesta bridal shower, you can never have too much color! Bright red tablecloths with sunshine yellow runners and glittering green jalapeno accents both on the tables and the chairs really make for a jovial place for guests to sit and relax as they enjoy the food and the party. Giant sombrero and taco balloons mixed with normal balloons in all colors can make the entire space pop, while you absolutely cannot do without a fiesta themed piñata filled with candy or even miniature bottles of spirits.

Papel Picado Banners and / or Green and orange streamers and garlands of miniature sombreros pair wonderfully with pepper string lights, while a huge backdrop with big, cursive letters congratulating the bride to be looks amazing behind the main food table. Have the guests wrap gifts in fiesta themed paper and bows, and have sombrero hats and mustache straws awaiting guests at their dining seats to wear during the party and take home with them after.

Fiesta Bridal Shower Food

For food, you want your guests to feel as though they stepped into an authentic Mexican restaurant, so be prepared to fill their bellies! Set up a taco and fajita bar for guests to load up all their favorite toppings such as peppers, meats, cheeses, and veggies. Likewise, you can also set up a fun margarita bar in which guests can design their perfect flavored margarita, both with or without spirits. As far as the dessert table goes, you can incorporate authentic dishes such as chocolate covered tortilla chips and yummy flan. For the cake, you can really be creative with a multi-tiered cake with edible airbrushing of colors on the frosting and a sparkler topper. Mustache cake pops, rainbow colored macaroons, and sugar cookies in the funny shapes of jalapenos with sunglasses or maraca instruments are all fantastic treats.
