Our kids are still obsessed with Moana and continue to watch the movie again and again! Celebrate your child's next birthday with a tropical retreat in your own home! Palm leaves, coconuts, flower crowns and DIY Heart of Te Fiti game will help bring the movie to life. The Moana party line creates a the foundation for this party with other elements added in for flair. We had so much fun creating this party and hope you enjoy it too!
Themed Tablescape
The table is the focal point of this party and where all the good stuff is! Our party used the Moana party line along with other elements added in for flair. The table is covered with the Moana tablecloth. Leaves were placed under trays and paper goods to add more dimension on the table. Large palm leaves, a Tropical Garland and coral tissue fans came together to create the backdrop. Creating a backdrop is an easy way to bring color and brightness to your party.
Turquoise and yellow tissue balls are added to the table and backdrop to draw the eye to the center of the table.
The Moana centerpiece serves as a backdrop for the drinks that we served in coconut cups with bamboo straws and adorned with hibiscus picks. It’s easy to create the perfect tropical table with luau and Moana party supplies.
Party Food
With this party recipe we decided to take a tropical twist on an ordinary vanilla cupcake. Guests will swoon over these Tropical Cupcakes. With pineapple and coconut flavor these treats have a distinct Hawaiian feel.
Guests were able to treat themselves to Heart of Te Fiti Cookies and Tropical Cupcakes set in surf's up cupcake wrappers and decorated with a printable sail. Heart of Te Fiti sugar cookies were made by swirling green frosting onto store bought cookies. Cocktail parasols adorn Beach Pudding Parfaits in mini square cups.
The cocktail parasols are so great to have on hand to add some tropical flare to desserts at your Moana Party.
Moana dinner plates, dessert plates and napkins from the party line coordinate with the table cover. This is a great place to start when buying items for your Moana party. After getting the basic tableware just add extra luau and tropical décor touches to finish the look.
Party Activities & Games
We created some themed DIY games for our Moana Party. Kids will love creating a couple of crafts like Moana Inspired Flower Crowns and Mini Boats. The best thing is that kids can take home these crafts after the party is over and remember the fun party they attended.
Games are an important part of any birthday party. We were so happy with how clever and cute our Heart of Te Fiti Tic Tac Toe game turned out. This game is suer simple to create and your guests will love it! Make enough games for your guests to take home as a party favor.
Guests were able to make their own Moana Flower Crowns using cardstock and Elmer's Paint Markers. This is something you could do ahead of time or let the guests make during the party. These crowns are great for kids to wear during a group party picture! We love the idea of doing some luau dancing with the guests wearing these crowns.
After their crowns were made, guests built little boats like Moana's with from a kit containing bamboo straws, makers, and vellum sails. See how to make this simple project here. These mini boats turned out so cute!
Guests took home their own Heart of Te Fiti Tic-Tac-Toe Game. Here's is an idea for a party invitation that goes along with this party. We hope your guests enjoy this party as much as we did while putting it together!
This Moana birthday party was so fun to create. With the clever party crafts and games we’ve shared you can create your own party that will be special for each and every party guest.
