Any idea's for food,drink and whatever else!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
You can also go to any party store, they'll have tons of decorations in the Finding Nemo theme being it's popular!.
You can get a small fish bowl and being clown fish are pretty popular, buy one and have him at the party and name him Nemo, he can be there at the party for your friend!. Give Nemo his own table and decorate it!. You know at weddings the cake is done up like the main event!? Do that with the fish and the fishbowl!. Get a few things to give the bowl some height, and then put a tablecloth draped over the table the fishbowl is on, put some balloons on the edges of the table, and over the table, hanging down from the ceiling, have a sign that says, "Here's Nemo with an arrown pointing down", just make sure he's in an area where no one will knock him over or off the table!.
I think it's great what you're all doing, you're taking all this favorites and making it a part of his birthday, instead of picking one, you're working with all of them and that's great!
You can do Nemo fish bowls! You get some plastic cups or even small fish bowls at the dollar store, then go to the grocery store and get some gummy fish (they make nemo ones too now!) and blue jello!. It HAS to be blue! You make the blue jello by following the directions on the box and when it's done, fill the glasses/bowls and refigerate, BUT, halfway through when it's starting to settle, take the gummy fish and insert one or two into each glass/bowl), make sure the jello is not too hard or soft, when you do this, the fish will suspend into the jello like they're swimming and the hole they made going in WILL close up when they set up and harden! When they're ready, you'll have jello (shots or regular) jello fish bowls with nemo in them!
I love the other poster's idea of hiding a stuffed Nemo in the house and people have to find him!. You can do clues on water lilies or something and whoever finds it gets to keep it!. Unless of course the birthday boy guilts him out of it!
You can get a Nemo Pinata and fill it up with the things that you and your boyfriend and his friends like!. Whether it's candy, gum, or whatever!.
Decorate your area of the party in the colors of Nemo, blue, orange, and white!. Nemo was a clown fish, they also have black and you can add black in the color scheme too!.
For food you can do things like fish sticks, goldfish crackers, clams on the half shell, any kind of sea food!. Shrimp cocktails, friend shrimp, etc!.
I know you said too that there was another theme, just an idea, but: You can do a Ben and Jerry's ice cream bar being you said that's a theme too, get some Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and some toppings like sprinkle's, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, whipped cream and cherries, and then go to the dollar store and get those tall plastic sundae glasses and have everyone make sundaes!.
For the casino theme, ( I did one for my mom's b'day party one year) you can paint any square box white and paint on black dots to make dice, and also take playing cards and tape them back to back and hang them with fishing line for decorations!. I know that's not your theme, but I just thought I'd give you some tips!. I bought big wood squares too with big wood circles and made giant dice, just painted everything and glued them in, didn't take long at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since the theme is under the sea, you should try to look at maybe, tropical or water related cook books!. They also have a lot of party planing books at the library!. You could have like a blue punch and make a nemo cake try Party America or other party supply stores for a Finding Nemo Pinata!. For decorations try blue paper lanterns and green streamers that look like seaweed Include beach balls 2!. You can also have a find Nemo game where you give guests clues to find a Nemo Stuffed animal!. I like the T shirt Idea! try this website for more ideas!. Hope I helped! Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, seafood and a nautical theme would be appropriate!. You can find tropical fish, seahorses, crab, and other decorations at party stores!. Blue and white tablecloths, and baskets with bread and crackers in them are another idea!. crab or shrimp dip would be nice; also include some beer and tropical drinks if you like; best containing rum!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Drink: some sort of tropical drink!. Or how about a Tequila Sunrise!. Nice color just like Nemo!.
Food: Grilled fish ! Or if you want finger food type stuff get sushi!.
Cake: Easy way Order from one of the warehouse stores like Costco or Sam's It is hard to make a cake the size they do for what it costs there!. (Costco's cakes are the best )Www@FoodAQ@Com
