Setting the scene for a dolphin-tastic time:
- Make it a splash with inflatables! If you're headed for Sea World, then you don't
need any decorations, but if the party is at home have fun with inflatables.
You'll find a bevy of dolphin finds online, like the dolphin inflatable ride on,
pictured left.
- Top the birthday kid with a fin-tastic hat! A hat can go a long way towards
supporting your theme. Mom can welcome guests sporting the fins, pictured
right. The hat makes a funny prize or favor as well. Dad can wear the hat
while announcing dolphin safe activities in the water if you're hosting a pool
party. And if he's a Miami Dolphins fan, why not have him support the team at
the barbecue sporting a Miami Dolphins apron?
- Get cooking with our ocean blue party food ideas. Cool drinks get cooler when
you mix just a hint of blue food coloring to water and pour into the dolphin ice
cube tray, pictured right. If you're serving lemonade the blue waters turn
green as the ice melts for a fun aquatic effect.
- A bubble machine is a must whether your party is indoors or out, but if it's
inside you can create a bubble effect within.
- Dolphin mylar balloon. Mix dolphin balloons with blue latex balloons into
bouquets, then create an ocean sea floor by taping balloons on the floor
throughout the party. Just remember that latex balloons are choking hazards
and you should avoid this decoration idea for parties that will have children in
attendance that are three and under.

Dolphin Cakes and party foods that will help them doing back flips
Create a "dol-fun" food with a few party picks and creativity:
- The Dolphin pan, pictured left, is a rare find. Most dolphin cakes are only part of
the underwater theme, as with the adorable Wilton cake, upper right. An easy
cake option is the edible image, right. Just buy a sheet cake and lay the image
on top. It melts into the frosting. Dolphin fish sprinkles
- On the menu: dolphin safe tuna sandwiches? Sure, you could serve tuna
sandwiches or fish sticks for a dolphin party, but only do it if chicken of the sea
is king with the honoree. A party is supposed to be fun, so serve up the party
foods she likes best whether it's pizza, burgers, or hot dogs.
Dolphin fun and games:
- Present kids at the party with a dolphin inflatable or dolphin plush toy, then
print "adopt a dolphin" papers and have kids sign the papers.
- Autograph Dolphin: Have all the kids sign and color the dolphin pillow, pictured
above right, to provide the birthday kid with a special memory of the day.
- Dolphin Water toy: Pull the string and watch your Dolphin Micro go:Rainbow
Reef Dolphin Micro.
- Plunge into the realm of wild dolphins: Set your DVD to continual play with
Dolphins, where you'll experience the warm, white sand banks of the Bahamas
where the inquisitive dolphins live and play. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan with
music by Sting this is a documentary.
- Go buy the book: "Everything Dolphin: What Kids Really Want to Know about
Dolphins," by Marti Crisp is an excellent reference and conversation piece for
your party. Toss it around the party and have party goers interject fun facts
they discover.
