Finding Nemo Party SuppliesAlas, the Finding Nemo phenomenon continues to grow, you may find yourself in charge of planning some Nemo-themed parties, and upon realizing the amount of products out there on the market, you may find yourself pulling your hair out instead. Not to worry party planners, as long as you keep your sea legs stable and follow this list of useful Finding Nemo party supplies, you’ll find that planning this party can run “swimmingly!” Before the Party Invitations – Before you can have people come to your party, they will need to know about it. So, the first thing you need to do before filling any balloons or streaming any streamers is to create your party invitations. You have two options here: make your own or buy a set of invitations. Finding Nemo invitations can easily be found at any department store, specialty card shop, or craft store. You will be able to find all sorts of designs, some with wild fonts, some large or small; so simply find cards that your birthday child will enjoy. Remember to try to match your invitations with your thank you notes (if you plan on writing them). To make your own invitations, all you will need is some cardstock paper, construction paper, stick-on googly eyes, envelopes, and a thin-tipped permanent marker. Easy enough, right? Cut the cardstock paper into the shape of a fish and decorate it like Nemo, using the construction paper and googly eyes. You can also use markers to color the orange on Nemo if you prefer. Write the party information on the back of the card with the marker. Decorate the envelopes with little phrases from the movie and little Nemo stickers (the birthday kid can help with this part). These invitations will be creative and personable, just like Nemo! Decorations – Have fun when you decorate for the party! Choose colorful, under-the-sea type designs. Make the children feel like they are stepping into Nemo’s world. Buy multiple large sheets of blue butcher paper to cover the walls and to fill with pictures of fish, crabs, and other sea creatures. Include pictures of all Nemo’s friends; have them converse with each other through talk bubbles. Orange and white streamers can be twisted and strung from the ceiling corners, around banisters and chairs, or in doorways. Hang paper fish from the streamers with fishing wire so it looks like everything around the guests is under water. Fill the floor with colorful balloons, sprinkle confetti on the table under the centerpiece and under the gift table. Let Nemo be the guide of the party, putting pictures of him with talk bubbles giving directions, such as, “Gifts here!” or “Bathroom this way!” Helium balloons can be tied to the chairs or bundled together to form a centerpiece, but make sure the strings are long enough so that the children can see around it. Also, be sure to include tablecloths, napkins, plates, paper cups, and party hats on your party shopping list. Every detail you need can easily be found at any major department store or even purchased online if you leave enough time before the party. During the Party What better way to celebrate your Nemo world by playing fun Nemo-inspired party games! Using a few Finding Nemo party supplies, you can have yourself a great underwater adventure. Use the following games as a starting-off point, of which you can create your own games. • Nemo, Nemo, Dory! – A Nemo version of the classic “duck, duck, goose!” game. Sit everyone in a circle and let them have at it for a while! • The Search for Nemo – Cut out mini Nemos and hide them throughout the party area. When you say, start a scramble to see if all of them can be found. • Nemo Says – The same game as “Simon Says,” but with a Nemo take on it. • Plate Creations – Using paper plates and crayons, let the children decorate Nemo, Dori, or other creatures from the movie. • Tiny-Fin Race – Just like Nemo, have the contestants place one arm behind their back while they form the best fish out of play-dough, using only one hand. • Single-Fin Relay – Have the contestants split up into teams and perform a certain number of obstacles based around the idea that one of their major limbs will not be used. For example, have them race from a starting line to a finish line hopping only on one leg. The next obstacle could be pedaling a tricycle with only one foot between two points. What to Serve When it comes to creating unique Finding Nemo party supplies, you can also look into your baking and cooking skills for ideas. Using Nemo stickers, decorate a large pitcher and fill it with “sea water,” which is really just lemonade and green food coloring. Try your creative baking hand at Dori Delights (cupcakes with blue frosting on top and Dori cupcake rings)! “Shark bait” can be Jello pieces shaped like sharks or fish—you can make lots of different flavors and colors of “shark bait.” Use your imagination when creating Nemo snacks. Utilize ideas from the movie to spark genius creations for even the simplest of goods. You don’t have to be the brightest fish in the sea to make a few snacks fit your Nemo theme. Using your creativity, you can create an entire new world with a small amount of Finding Nemo party supplies. From invitations to party games to food, your child’s birthday party is sure to be out of this world (literally!). Use these tips and you can be on your way to planning a fantastic, magical party for your youngster. Let your mind rest and your imagination take over! |
