Dolphin Under the Sea Party
We love this twist on an Under the Sea Party! This Under the Sea Theme focuses on the dolphin – the birthday girl’s favorite!
The best outdoor parties need the best themes and a fun Under the Sea party seems like the perfect idea. There are so many fun and creative things you can do to bring this theme to life. Just like this party here, creativity in the decorations, party supplies, food, desserts, birthday cake, backdrop, and party favors are what sets this party apart from the rest. Since this party was a pool party, the kids were busy swimming like little fish under the sea! But if you’re looking for more fun, just incorporate some Under the Sea games and activities!
This super adorable Dolphin Under the Sea Party was planned for a lucky 7-year-old girl who loves everything about dolphins, sea creatures, swimming and the beach! Set in South Africa, she invited 15 of her closest friends for a fun Under the Sea pool party! Colors used throughout the event were inspired by the sea and included whites, aquas, pale blues and greens. The fun Under the Sea party printables were designed by Sunshine Parties and really set the tone for the whole event! The kids enjoyed swimming, playing and throwing beach balls!

This outdoor Under the Sea Party was made extra special for the birthday girl. For the Under the Sea dessert table, blue fabric was draped as the backdrop, which matched the blue tablecloth. Hanging jellyfish pom poms and fish prints (which the birthday girl picked out) created interest, along with the beautiful birthday cake and all the delicious Under the Sea themed food and desserts. The jelly fish pom poms were a fun DIY idea inspired by Martha Stewart. Sunshine Parties designed the most adorable Under the Sea happy birthday banner that hung behind the dessert table. See the full dolphin under the sea collection here. We love the time and thought that went into all of the details for this special Under the Sea party!
We love how versatile this theme is. This Under the Sea party would work perfectly for the boys too! It would even make an adorable Under the Sea baby shower!
We love how creative they got with the Under the Sea themed desserts on the dessert table. Desserts included jello sailboats, sour jelly “seaweed,” sugar-coated jelly worms, adorable octopus cake pops, a dolphin birthday cake (vanilla sponge layers with aqua butter cream icing), marshmallow fish, and vanilla cupcakes! Can you say YUM! The birthday cake was layered with butter cream icing and finished off with mini bunting, a dolphin, and sparkly jewels! We’re sure the birthday girl loved every detail of her Under the Sea party.
The Under the Sea theme didn’t stop at the desserts though! Themed food and snacks were available for hungry guests with matching printable food labels. The themed food was a hit at the party, especially those cute sandwich crabs! Guests also enjoyed some sushi and shark teeth (cheese).
Jello in sail boat cups in different shades of green were topped off with a little flag on a toothpick. Too adorable! “Sea water” was available for everyone to wash down all the fun food and desserts! A lot of time was spent on coming up with the perfect party menu!
The matching food labels were also designed by Sunshine Parties. Color, texture and shapes created a nice variety of exciting snacks, including octopus snacks (hot dogs and ketchup), and starfish sandwiches.
Matching thank you tags from were attached to tall bottles of bubble bath and mini under the sea creatures for guests to take home. What a cute and creative Under the Sea party! We’re sure the birthday girl and all her friends had a blast with this Under the Sea party that came to life!
