The request was mermaid theme so what better place to go then a swimming complex!
What we did:
Went straight after school
Picnic outside
Swam in the main pool until the Hydroslide opened. Tip: let the kids know which area you want them to stay in so you can keep an eye on them. Note: ratio is 1 adult to 4 kids.
Hydroslide and those who didn't want to go on the Hydroslide went in the water play station so everyone was reasonably together.
Cake 10-15mins before the end.
How was it sustainable?
No paper invitations
No individual packets of snacks (except the coin and lolly jewelry in the goody bags)
Made biscuits, carrot sticks, oranges and apple wedges and pizza
Water bottle with cups
Containers to take left over food home in
Cupcakes made in silicone cases
Goody bags:
My child made rocks for each of her guests
Bouncy balls
Hair scrunchies
I created those bookmarks which got so many 'oooo that's a great idea' comments
A lolly bracelet and a gold coin (treasure for our mermaid theme)
A named party bag that can now be used as a toy/shell/card/mini book/tooth fairy/small gift bag
