Over the weekend, my daughter’s 4th birthday bash was an enchanting mermaid-themed celebration! To make her dreams come true, I scoured Amazon for the perfect mermaid-themed decorations, and boy, did I find some fantastic gems at a budget-friendly price. With a small gathering of close family and a few friends, I aimed to keep the party low-key yet utterly magical.
Transforming our dining area into an enchanting mermaid oasis, I crafted a mermaid tablescape with a whimsical tablecloth. I layered on a fishnet to evoke the feeling of being in the depths of the ocean. For that extra touch of authenticity, I carefully placed seashells along the table, adding a touch of seaside charm.
To enhance the enchantment, I incorporated string lights, battery-operated candles and delicate candle holders, casting a gentle glow on the surroundings.
By combining creativity with budget-friendly Amazon finds, I was able to bring my daughter’s mermaid-themed dreams to life, creating a birthday party that she’ll remember forever.
From mermaid tablecloths to fishnet decor, seashell accents to string lights, and battery-operated candles to charming candle holders, every element of the mermaid tablescape came together seamlessly. This magical setup not only delighted the birthday girl but also enchanted everyone present at the party.
If you’re planning a mermaid-themed celebration or any other special event, remember that a touch of creativity and the right decorations can transform any space into a fairy tale setting. With Amazon’s vast selection and budget-friendly prices, you can create a memorable experience without breaking the bank. Embrace your inner decorator, and let your imagination run wild as you craft a dreamy atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on your guests. Happy decorating!

For the “Ocean Water” drink I mixed 1 gallon of Hawaiian Punch Polar Blast, 1 gallon of Sprite, and a 46 ounce can of Pineapple Juice. I used this Drink Dispenser to put it in.


I created “The Little Mermaid” and ocean themed tags for all of the food I served. I used Canva to create these food labels and then printed them on card stock. I added the pearl stickered beads that I got from Dollar Tree!

“Crabby Croissants” using butter croissants and Chicken Salad from Costco. I made the eyes using toothpicks and Googly Eyes from Amazon.

“Sebastian’s Spirals” made from tortillas, turkey, swiss cheese, spinach and tomato.

“Octopus Dip” made with hummus and a red pepper cut up to look like an Octopus.

To continue the mermaid birthday theme, I used a smaller treasure chest to make “Triton’s Treasure”. I filled it with candy, some beads and some fake jewels from Amazon.

We got the cutest budget-friendly mermaid cake from Publix! I was really pleased with how it turned out for under $30.
