Do a search on family fun oyster cookies for a how to..... super easy and super cute!!!!



Some party favors:

Id do these in pink and maybe add some mermaid toys in with sand, shells, and other goodies for a day " at the beach"



found here:  http://katydiddys.blogspot.com/2009/06/mermaid-party.html



For snacks there is so many fun ideas.... Goldfish crackers, Swedish fish candies, anything beach themed will add to the decor. Last year we did blue jello in a goldfish bowl and added Swedish fish inside..... Kids went nuts. I founf the idea on the net somewhere .... Ill have to see if I can find it again.
