So, you or your bestie has a special day coming up and you wanna know how to throw a magical mermaid bachelorette party!
Finally, one of you has found “the one” and is ready to tie the knot. Now, while weddings have plenty of fun traditions, few are as exciting as the bachelorette party. Typically, the bride and her bridesmaids get together for a fun night, which can either be wild or calm, depending on the vibe. However, if you’re searching for a truly unique bachelorette party idea, why not make it a mermaid-themed one?
There are loads of fantastic ideas out there for bachelorette parties, and often, you’ll see suggestions like taking a class or doing a workshop. But here’s a magical twist: why not have a mermaid class? Instead of hiring a stripper, consider hiring a mermaid! Not only can she bring extra tails and teach you how to swim like a mermaid, but you’ll also have some time to splash around and take photos, making it an unforgettable experience. You could, of course add a pirate, should you wish to.
Mermaid Outfits and Attire
To begin with, matching outfits for the bridal party are always a hit. Why not opt for mermaid-themed tank tops that say things like “Bride to Be,” “Mer-maid of Honour,” or “Bride’s Mer-maid”? Additionally, you could personalise the tops with each bridesmaid’s name. For that extra mermaid touch, think about getting leggings with mermaid scales or skirts that resemble tails. Furthermore, you can accessorise with seashell crowns – perhaps the bride could have a special one that says “Bride” to make her stand out as the VIP.
Mermaid Decor
Next, no party is complete without decorations. To create a true under-the-sea atmosphere, choose oceanic colours like shades of blue, teal, and seafoam green. To enhance the mermaid vibe, decorate with items like fishnet, shells, pearls, and even some sparkly elements. You could also consider fun, themed touches like inflatable palm trees, sea glass, or fake fish. Another great idea is to add some seaweed decorations by using green streamers or hang jellyfish from the ceiling. If you really want to go all out, a bubble machine will add an extra layer of mermaid magic.
When it comes to banners, how about creating signs with sayings such as:
- “Shell-ebration Time!”
- “Mermaid Bride-to-Be!”
- “Last Splash!”
- “From Tail to Veil!”
Mermaid Food and Drinks
Moreover, don’t forget about the food and drinks. Start by serving mermaid-themed appetisers like seafood platters with crab, lobster, or oysters. Alternatively, if your mermaids are vegetarians, ensure you offer a good selection of veggie dishes as well. For snacks, you can have goldfish crackers, seaweed chips, or Swedish fish gummies.
To keep the mermaid theme going with drinks, you could offer mermaid water cocktails or ocean-coloured jello shots. If you want to keep it classic, champagne is a great option too. And, of course, don’t forget the non-alcoholic options like lemonade, iced tea, and plenty of water to stay hydrated after all that swimming.
Mermaid party Games
Finally, what’s a party without games? For instance, you could play “Pin the Tail on the Mermaid,” a fun twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Or try “Mermaid Beer Pong,” using large clamshells filled with water instead of cups. If you want to get creative, why not have a “Toilet Paper Mermaid” game, where teams design mermaid costumes using only toilet paper?
Once everyone has their mermaid tails on, a race or obstacle course in the pool is a must. Add some hoops and objects to retrieve from the bottom, and you’ve got a mermaid competition everyone will enjoy.
The Main Event – A Mermaid Lesson
Top off the celebration with a mermaid lesson! A trained instructor brings tails and teaches everyone how to swim like a mermaid. It’s a fun and memorable way to bond, plus the perfect opportunity for a group photo to capture the day.
Whether you’re splashing around or sipping cocktails, a mermaid bachelorette party is a magical way to celebrate with your besties before the wedding day.
