Mermaids are a sentiment for some favorite childhood characters or a love of the water. A mermaid bridal shower could represent the bride becoming a wife and leaving behind the mermaid life.

Why should you host a mermaid-themed bridal shower?

Mermaids bring nostalgia to any bride with the love of Ariel from The Little Mermaid or women with a great love of the sea. A Mermaid Bridal shower will include some seashells fishtails and scales. A mermaid bridal shower will also include aquatic colors and some shimmer to represent the ocean.

About Mermaids

Mermaids are mythical creatures presented in almost every culture across the world as beautiful women who have fishtails as the lower half of their bodies (sometimes snake tails), long hair and beautiful voice that can mesmerize or hypnotize men who hear it (Real Mermaids).

Mermaid Bridal Shower Invitations

Mermaid bridal shower invitations are cute send out to the guests. This shimmery one above is from Zazzle. They have the best variety of mermaid party invitations. I like that the invitations show a tail. This sets the mood for the shower and guests may even dress accordingly.

Mermaid Bridal Shower Decorations

Ocean colors like blue, teals and purples look good for a mermaid bridal shower. In this example, there is a beautiful balloon garland draped along the side of a backdrop with the bride to be’s name. Her name sign is finished off with a fin.

A mermaid bridal shower take place indoors or outside. This is an in-home bridal shower example. With the ocean like colors and the bubble-like balloons, it seems like it is taking place under the sea.

Take a look at the dessert table. It shows a shimmery table cloth that looks like glitter. It glistens like something magical. It goes perfectly with the mermaid bridal shower theme.

There are seashells spread out on the table. I like this because it adds a realistic ocean vibe to this fantasy theme.

Attire

The attire for a mermaid bridal shower should be full of pastels, glitter, and shells. I love this example on Etsy. If you don’t want to go all out with the fishtail, these sequin stocking will do the trick! Check out this style HERE.

Games

Here is your free mermaid-themed bridal shower game. Bridal bingo is a fun game to play while the bride is opening her gifts. To learn more about how to play Bridal Bingo, see this blog post HERE.

I like how there is more sea like decor on the game table. There are some decorative shells and stars on the table that makes the theme stand out. Simple use a plate or glass to display a beautiful assortment of shells. Here is an assortment example I found on Amazon.
