Craft My Occasion

Mermaid Party for Little Brown Girls

Craft My Occasion Mermaid Collection

How amazing is this??? Craft My Occasion now creates party supplies celebrating children of color! This idea has been brewing for years. There has always been a part of me that was deeply disappointed in the lack of party supplies that look like my children. That is the main reason I began creating custom themes and parties for them. Last year, my daughter told me she wanted her birthday party to be a theme that is very popular among girls her age. Although I think this theme is adorable, the main character doesn’t share any resemblance with my daughter. So I suggested to her that we try a different theme. When she asked which one, I didn’t have an answer for her. Needless to say, I lost that battle {LOL!}, but something did stir inside of me. I was reminded of the quote by Elizabeth Gilbert, “Create the things you wish existed.” The rest is history!

The first line of party products that was released is our beautiful Mermaid Collection. We had a very successful Kickstarter campaign which funded the first print of mermaid party supplies. I am so grateful for the love and support of our campaign. This community made our dream a reality! Recently, we expanded our selection of party supplies by adding a Superboy and Supergirl collection. This is only the beginning, together we will empower all children of color!

Let’s take a closer look at these party details as we dive into this magical Kingdom Under the Sea!

  • Party supplies featuring our gorgeous brown skin mermaid.
  • Beautiful cake, cupcakes and cookies featuring Under the Sea Sprinklefetti by Bakers Party Shop.
  • Stunning custom mermaid photo booth.
  • The prettiest little mermaids EVER!
  • Glitter and acrylic backdrop sign, cake topper, cake pop sticks and mermaid tail centerpieces by Ten23 Designs.
  • And so much more!

      Hello and thank you! Our party supplies can be pre-oredered via our Kickstarter Campaign at http://bit.ly/CelebrateChildrenOfColor. Once we meet our goal, they will be shipped early October. If we do not meet our goal, they will not be available. Unfortunately, we do not have an option to ship before then.
