My Granddaughter's Mermaid Party

Avery had a belated birthday party for a few classmates right after school ended in June. With a pool and expected hot weather, she wanted it to be a pool party with a mermaid theme. I made these invitations with the pertinent information on the back. The mermaid body is a die from Karen Burniston, most of the fish and seaweed is from various Lawn Fawn sets. 

The guests had mermaid cupcakes after lunch. Leaving a few plain in case someone didn't care for sprinkles, most of the icing was tinted a pale lavender and had sprinkle from an assortment called Mermaid. See the tails among the baubles and bits?

The weather wasn't ideal that day but the girls swam anyway, then came inside to warm up and play. Their goodie bags had bracelets and mermaid-themed lip balm in them with this thank you attached to the bag.

Six is a fun age for mermaids and their grandmas.
