Use the standard tutorials for these DIY decorations and then simply change the colors to suit your party theme.

A mermaid party will traditionally use pastel colors.

Think about those dreamy colors, with the soft tones or blue, pink and green. Mix it up with some glitter and you instantly have the mermaid vibe.

Other ideas include bringing in the theme of the ocean, so think waves, sand and bubbles. You can also add pearls, pastel flowers and shimmery fabric.

Creating some themed food really helps to set the scene of the party. Some specific mermaid party food ideas include:

• Cupcakes with fondant mermaid tails
• Beautiful oyster cookies
• Cookies shaped as stars or mermaids
• Use ice cream cones to serve fruit
