Bring that beautiful world into your next celebration and plan a magical under the sea party! From under the sea birthday parties to whimsical baby showers, we have fun and unique ideas that will make it an event to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"party-decor\">Under the sea party decor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ocean has a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors to draw from for DIY under the sea decorations. Get crafty with various items to create an underwater world. Use a palette of greens and blues with pops of pink and orange for a colorful and cohesive deep-sea setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dive-underwater\">\ud83c\udf0a Dive underwater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t be an under the sea theme party if you didn&#8217;t make your guests feel as though they&#8217;re actually underwater. One easy way to do this is with simple crafts like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/536913586847801302\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">streamers draped across the ceiling<\/a>. Hang fish or a scuba diver silhouette in the middle as fun additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more immersive option, drape blue or teal tablecloths in waves under your ceiling lights. Cut out sea turtle, fish, or shark shapes to place inside to create shadows that make you feel like you&#8217;re deep-sea diving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-craft-some-seaweed\">\ud83c\udf3f Craft some seaweed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seaweed is a sea staple, so this is a must-have under the sea party decoration! Start with green or teal streamers and some tape. Cut a long strip of streamer and tape one end to the base of your wall. Then twist it a few times, tape it at the top, and voila \u2014 instant ocean-themed decor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also split green <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/558235316302784079\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plastic tablecloths<\/a> into strips and cut V-shapes into them to create a textured seaweed look. Hang them from the ceiling or behind your gift or food tables for a perfect backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sculpt-a-coral-reef\">\ud83e\udeb8 Sculpt a coral reef<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretch those DIY skills further by creating a whimsical ocean floor filled with coral. <a href=\"https:\/\/myhumblehomeandgarden.com\/2019\/05\/30\/cheap-pool-noodles-can-make-an-awesome-tablescape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pool noodles<\/a> are a cheap and easy crafting tool. Just grab a box cutter and some wire hangers and get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For something a bit more authentic-looking, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmqfortwo.com\/diy-coral\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spray insulation to sculpt unique coral shapes<\/a>. Then, paint them to match your ocean party colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hang-with-ocean-friends\">\ud83d\udc20 Hang with ocean friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be a true oceanic experience without a few deep-sea animal friends. Add fish and other sea creatures to your wall decor, centerpieces, and tablescapes. These will create a perfect setting to showcase your food, gifts, or cake if you&#8217;re throwing a birthday party under the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hang nets filled with balloons and attach crabs and starfish.
