| I used real seashells that I ordered online http://www.qualityshells.com/ |

| The kids went on a treasure hunt to find their "treasure boxes". They had clues all over the house! I ordered them oriental trading company and filled them with chocolate coins, jewels and sea creatures. I decided to leave them plain and let kids decorate them when they got home. |

No fish were harmed during the creation of this party! This was Maddie's favorite gifts.....but not Mommy's! |
 |
| I used pages from old "Little Mermaid" books to use as tags for the gifts. When I went to the party store, one roll of Ariel Wrapping paper was $7.00. I also found these aqua nets to use as back drops and bags for the gifts. |
 |
| Her cake was coated in graham crackers and sugar to create the sand effect for her sand castle. |
 |
| Thank goodness for Gatorade! It comes in every color...even aqua! I cut the mermaid books to make labels for the drinks. Each one is slightly different! |
 |
I used the same book to make cupcake toppers. Each one had a different character. |
