Jawsome Shark Party
With shark week here this swimming with the sharks party was a no-brainer! Both my boys have summer birthdays and I thought what a better theme than “Shark Attack” for their pool party.
My main focus is always the candy table & the color theme. For this jawsome shark party we did blue, red & white for the colors. The candy table was my favorite!
We had a shark bait station with gummy worms, goldfish, and Swedish fish candy’s. The table also included candy shark necklaces, coral reef rock candy, gummy life rings and of course gummy sharks.
I love coordinating the colors of the candy to match the theme of the party for a clean detailed look. Behind the table I hung a huge piece of blue metallic material along with a giant shark poster.
The candy table was a huge hit and the kids loved it.
I always love to have a photo station as well. We covered the backyard wall with a giant shark backdrop. This created a dramatic affect. It was the perfect spot to take pictures and use the photo prop of the sharks jaws to stick your head through!!
I also filled the pool with 20 to 25 blow up pool float sharks. This had a huge impact when you walked in and saw all the sharks floating in the pool. There was a sign saying swim at your own risk! Beware of sharks!
These blowup sharks also became a great photo prop for all the kids when taking pictures against the backdrop.
This swimming with the sharks pool party was a huge success and fun was had by all. Luckily no shark attacks happened and everybody was safe swimming in the shark infested waters!
