How to host a DIY Finding Nemo Party

DIY Finding Nemo Party Ideas

When Disney asked me to throw a #DisneySide @ Home Celebrations party, of course I had to go all out! I knew exactly what kinds of party I wanted to have, based off one of my absolute Disney favorites, Finding Nemo.

But being on a budget meant I had to get creative at home. So I’ve gathered my BEST DIY Finding Nemo Party Tips so you can throw a FUN Disney Party on a budget too! Ready to make your own Finding Nemo party dreams come to life? Grab my fun food ideas, party décor ideas and more!

Finding Nemo Décor for FREE

The biggest money saver for a great party is actually looking for items around your home. I was pretty excited that I had TONS of great Finding Nemo themed items I could already incorporate into my party, making decorating a breeze!

  • Finding Nemo Stuffed Animals
  • Finding Nemo Pictures I had from decorating the baby room
  • Beautiful Beach/Ocean Plates to display and use
  • Finding Nemo Printables to cut out and use

Already I have spent $0 for this party 🙂

Find Nemo Cupcakes Recipe

Easy Finding Nemo Cupcakes

The star of the party needed to be Nemo! I made these EASY Find Nemo Cupcakes to highlight our favorite fish. They were such a hit!

Seafoam Punch Recipe

Keep to a food theme! Everything had to be ocean/Finding Nemo themed, like this EASY Seafoam Punch Recipe!

Easy Finding Nemo "jellyfish forest" Jell-o Dessert Recipe

Easy Finding Nemo Food Ideas

We had fun making this Finding Nemo “Jellyfish Forest” Jell-O Dessert Recipe!

Peach Starfish Cookies

How about some Peach Starfish Cookies? Just a bag of sugar cookie mix, topped with Pink Crystal Sugar and faces out of black icing! 🙂

Goldfish Fish Bowl

Goldfish served in a fish bowl definitely makes things exciting! I grabbed the rainbow fish for a variety!

Free Finding Nemo Printables

I cut some starfruit and placed on a plate. I cut up strawberries and made my own “sea anemone.” Final touches are everything! I grabbed these FREE Finding Nemo Printables and individually cut out the characters. I taped to toothpicks and inserted randomly into the food I served. I labeled all food with fun names like “Jellyfish Forest Jell-O” so the kids could get really excited about what they were eating. Colorful straws, green streamers cut into seaweed, and even “seaweed celery” in a beautiful ocean wine glass made a FUN statement!

Grab your FREE Finding Dory printables too!

Finding Nemo Party

What’s a party without entertainment? Blankets and Pillows on the floor while the kids watched their favorite Finding Nemo movie were a MUST!

How To Host DIY a Finding Nemo Party #DisneySide

Disney went all out, proving great goodies for the guests to take home, including these FUN Hanes T-Shirts the kids got to create! It was a great way to keep those kids entertained during the movie!

Throwing an DIY Finding Nemo Party can be FUN! Using items around the home, getting creative with your food, and easy entertainment makes a Disney party fun any time of the year! Think about using some of these great idea for your next Finding Nemo, Little Mermaid, or Under the Sea Party too! All in all, I think I spent less than $40 on everything, between things I had in my pantry and décor at home 🙂 We had a great time, both little and big kids!

How do you show your #DisneySide?
