Lighting: Create an Ocean Ambience

- Balloons: Inflatable fish, sharks, and sea turtles are a fun and easy way to decorate. - Streamers: Use blue and green streamers to create a flowing ocean effect. - Posters: Print out your favorite Finding Nemo scenes or characters and hang them around the room. - DIY Ocean in a Jar: Fill a jar with water, food coloring, and small plastic ocean creatures for a fun, interactive decoration.
Movie Night Munchies

Clownfish Cupcakes
These are easy to make and super cute! Just bake some vanilla cupcakes, frost them with white icing, and add a red M&M or a small piece of red fondant for the clownfish's stripes.
Nemo's Jellyfish Popcorn
Mix popcorn with melted marshmallows, food coloring, and sprinkles to create these adorable jellyfish. You can use mini marshmallows for the bodies and pretzel sticks for the tentacles.
