How to Have Seahorse Party
Seahorse birthday cakes, menu, activities, favors and ideas
Whether you're entertaining by the sea or by the pool, a seahorse party is a unique
theme and lots of fun to create. For most of the under the sea theme you'll choose
seaweed greens and ocean blues, you should have a focal point like the bright and
cheery seahorse mylar balloon in sunsest oranges and yellows, pictured, right. It's
double-sided, and sizeable at 35 inches. Just a few will do.
- Here are more ways to set a scene for an underwater wonderland that's
seahorse worthy:
- Turn the tables to the sea. Lay a light green table cloth flat and layer it
with scrunched blue tulle. Sprinkle seahorse confetti, seahorse charms,
and small plastic seahorse toys. Safari makes several, pictured right
and available in our Seahorse party store. Mix your tablesetting with
green and blue paper plates and party cups, and serve blue party foods
and confections.
- Blow up dozens of ocean blue and sea green latex balloons so that
they float on your party sea floor. Guests will have fun kicking them
about as they "swim" for appetizers and drinks. All you need is a pump
and patience. The effect is well worth the effort. Note: latex balloons
present a choking hazard as kids may suffocate on broken balloons or
balloons they bite. Avoid the idea if you expect any guests under three.
Discard broken balloons and supervise children, especially those under
eight.
- Streamers hanging from the ceiling are an obvious choice for a seaweed
sanctuary. For added texture, buy a rolls of iridescent cellophane in
blues and greens, unroll and cut into long strips and tape to the ceiling.
Nets intended for balloon drops work better than fishing nets.
- Get out the bubbly. Sure you can pour Champagne for the adults, but
be sure to rent a bubble maker or buy one from Amazon.
- Get to Ikea! Buy the popular Ikea hanging storage in bright green, lower
left, as it provides a festive backdrop and is decoration that doubles as
something useful after the party. Just $4.99 each, use them to tuck
fishy toys for guests to discover.
- Blow it up. Buy inflatable seahorses and hang them from the ceiling. Set
a splashy scene with a seahorse play center, pictured left. This gift for
the birthday kid doubles as a display at your party. Fill it with ice and
use it as a prop for drinks, or place packages inside the rainbow as
guests arrive. Even if you aren't having a pool party, the Seahorse bop
bag for pool fun is just $3.99, pictured left. Another fun option for
decoration and gift combo is the Seahorse Jumbo Rider, pictured right:
