Beach Barbie

It has always been big news for kids when Mattel announces that the new Barbie is dropping.

Every second ad (or so it felt) on the kids’ channels was the new Barbie product. The product lines included boats, caravans, cars, houses – you name it, Barbie had done it!

After years of being the must-have doll, it’s no surprise that Barbie is the powerhouse it is today, and it has now graced the big screen with none other than Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the leads.

The anticipation of the movie was so huge that people were on hold for the early bird tickets and running out the door to buy a Barbiecore t-shirt!

Anyway, let us move on from the excitement of the Barbie the Movie.

If pink is your colour and you are looking for some themed inspiration for a gathering or party you are planning, then a Barbie theme might be the answer.

This theme is abundantly pink and fun. To make it even better, this design is staged beachside or if a beach is not possible, let’s make it a pool party.

Let’s get into the design for a Beach Barbie Party Theme.

DECOR

Pink and White Swim Rings

It would not be a beach or pool party without some swim rings, and FUNBOY have some of the best inflatables for a Barbie Beach Party.

Floating Pool Lights

So, you have the luxury of using a pool for the party. When it turns dark, keep the pool area illuminated with pink Floating Pool Lights.

FURNITURE

DECK CHAIRS & BEACH TOWELS

Throw Pink and White Striped Beach Towels over deck chairs for guests coming out the pool.

LIGHTING

Not at the beach? No problem.

Create your own Malibu Sunset with a Sun Lamp and a Palm Tree Wall Decal
