An Under the Sea party can be really fun!  Plotting an Under the Sea party is really fun!  Here are some creative thoughts for invitations, decorations, activities, food thoughts, party favors, and more! For invitations, you can buy some really cute and unique ones online, OR you can make your own, here’s how: First, buy a package of blank envelopes (Walmart is inexpensive).   Draw a starfish on a piece of cardboard (to fit in the envelope), cut out and make that your template, or you can find some fantastic clip art online.  Trace the starfish on different colored sheets of cardstock (look in the scrapbook aisle of your local craft store). Cut out each starfish and handwrite your party info: “swim on over. . . to Nathan’s Under the Sea party!”, or  “Join us, for under the sea adventures. . . at Becky’s Ocean Party!” For decorations use fish netting to hang on the walls or corners of your deck, garage, etc. .   Stick plastic fish, crabs, etc. . in the netting.   Use the ‘Under the Sea’ party supplies to decorate the tables. Adorn walls with colorful cutouts of ocean-life; seahorses, fishes, starfishes, dolphins, and the like. You can also tape blue and turqiose paper streamer form ceiling to floor and attach cutouts (just tape to ceiling and twist down to floor and tape. )  You can also incorporate a luau party.   Just add grass skirting to the tables, and use leis as party favors. Serve Seashell macaroni and cheese with sprinkled goldfish crackers and ‘octopi’ (made from hotdogs, just slice ‘legs’ about 3/4 way up on hot dog), and sea juice (KoolAid). Hand out Sunglasses or water goggles, squirty fishes, under the sea animals, a bag of goldfish crackers, gummy fish, and a juice box. Get a fish pinata, or play hot potato with a beanbag fish.   You could also set out a kiddie pool and let them splash around like the fish!
