Under the Sea Party

When I asked Blair what kind of party she wanted she said, "A mermaid, unicorn, fairy party!" All things fantasy for that girl! I told her she could pick one of those and she decided on a mermaid theme. Tiny Prints helped us set the tone for our underwater adventure with scalloped invitations printed on thick shimmery card stock. I added a message inside the envelope as an extra detail. There's just something special about getting an actual invite in the mail versus a digital one. Plus I love keeping an extra one for her baby book. 

Honestly this was the easiest party I have ever thrown. Probably because I had friends helping me. ;) It was also the least expensive party I've ever thrown too. Since we only invited a handful of girls this may be why. I ended up using decor I already had or borrowing items from friends. I think the only decor I spent money on was the balloons and helium. Everything else was pieced together from stuff I had lying around from previous parties.

All of my party inspiration came from Jessica over at Garvin and Co. No point in reinventing the wheel! I borrowed the table cloth from a friend and cut the letters out myself. All the food was made by myself and friends. Thanks for swimming by!
