Planning a first birthday party can be overwhelming, especially if you’re planning a themed event. An Under the Sea theme is perfect for a little one’s first birthday and sure to be a hit with parents and children alike. Here’s how to plan the perfect Under the Sea themed party.
Party Invitations
The invitations are one of the most important elements of the party and they set the tone for the event. There are many options available when it comes to Under the Sea themed invitations. You can opt for traditional paper invitations printed with an ocean design or you could create custom invitations in the shape of a fish or a starfish. For a unique touch, you can even make a video invitation featuring an animated fish swimming through an underwater world.
Party Decorations
Decorations are another important element for any themed event. For an Under the Sea themed birthday party, you can create a magical underwater world with decorations. Hang blue and white paper lanterns from the ceiling and create paper fish, jellyfish, and other sea creatures to hang on the walls. Create a beach-like feel with sand and seashells, and use balloons in shades of blue and green to add an underwater effect.
Fun Games & Activities
No party is complete without some fun and games! For an Under the Sea themed birthday party, you can set up a fishing game, where guests can try to “catch” fish with a fishing rod and paper fish. You can also organize a treasure hunt, where guests have to find hidden sea creatures around the party venue. Other fun activities include a crab walk race and a limbo competition.
Fun Foods
No birthday party is complete without party food and cake! For an Under the Sea themed party, you can serve up seafood-inspired dishes like fish sticks, shrimp cocktail, and calamari. You can also serve up some classic treats like popcorn and chips. For the cake, you can get creative with a two-tier cake in the shape of a fish or a starfish. You can also decorate the cake with colorful icing and edible sea creatures.
Fun Favors
The perfect way to end an Under the Sea themed party is to give out party favours. Fill a beach bag with some fun goodies like bubbles, beach towels, and toy fish. You can also give out edible treats like candy fish, chocolate shells, and gummy sharks
