Hosting a mermaid-themed birthday party or baby shower for the little one? We have three fun favor ideas that are super simple to put together, and will impress both your child and adult guests. And be sure to check out our Mermaid and Under the Sea party-themed Pinterest boards for more aquatic party inspiration:
1. Goldfish Snacks:
- Goldfish Snacks
- Small Cellophane Bags
- Mermaid style rectangle labels, personalized
- Mermaid style small circle labels, personalized
- Place a handful of goldfish snacks into each cellophane bag, fold down the top and seal with the small circle label (you may want to trim the bag down a bit to shorten the length). Center your rectangle label over the bag and smooth down. Display favors together on a table near the door for your guests to take home before they leave the party.
2. Sea Glass Mini Bottles
- Small corked spice jars (we like these jars from World Market)
- Decorative glass gems in nautical colors (like these or these)
- Jute twine

3. Swedish Fish
- Swedish Fish Candies
- Small Paper Favor Bags
- Scallop Shaped Mermaid Labels
- Square Mermaid Labels
- Place a small handful of Swedish Fish in each favor bag. Fold the top down and seal with your scallop shaped label. Then place your square label over the center of the bag, and display on a party table for your guests.

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.
I think these are such cute party favors! I’m getting ready for my daughter to have a mermaid themed birthday party, and I definitely might steal a few of your ideas. However, I might have to purchase a few more things because I’m not quite so crafty as you.
