Story Behind This Post
My daughter, Amanfa, has been telling me for nearly a year that she wants a Lilo and Stitch birthday party. I love that she knows what she wants and sticks with it (well, most of the time it’s a good thing)!
I adored this concept she came up with! I chose a generalized luau theme because there isn’t a lot of Lilo and Stitch decor available. I was thrilled to hear this idea! I made the choice to expand the color scheme beyond the red and blue that are used in the film, to bright, tropical hues. Although I’m not usually a fan of pink, orange, and red together, this combination worked really well!
Invitations That Make Everyone In Awe!
Okay, let’s start with the very first thing that sets the tone for your party: invitations.

Lilo And Stitch Party Decor That’s Totally Tropical
Now that the invites are sorted, let’s move on to the decor. I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for decorations that look fabulous without making my wallet cry. Here’s how you can transform your living room (or backyard) into a tropical paradise, Lilo & Stitch style, without breaking the bank:
DIY Luau Decor
You don’t need to be a crafting wizard to pull off some awesome DIY decorations. Here are some ideas that are simple, fun, and oh-so-tropical:
- Hawaiian Leis: These are a must! Grab some faux flowers from the dollar store and string them together with thread. Hang them everywhere—around doorways, on chairs, or even give one to each guest as they arrive.
- Palm Trees: Cut out giant palm leaves from green construction paper and tape them to the walls. If you’re feeling ambitious, grab some brown craft paper to make tree trunks.
- Tiki Torches: Use cardboard tubes (paper towel rolls work great!) to create mini tiki torches. Paint them brown, add some orange and red tissue paper flames, and you’ve got yourself some pretty cool (and safe) decor.
- Beach Backdrop: A simple blue sheet can serve as an ocean backdrop. Add some cut-out fish, or even hang some inflatable beach balls for that extra festive feel.
Hawaiian Luau Sweet Treats and Eats
Let’s talk about the food—because what’s a party without some yummy treats? The good news is, you can easily whip up some Hawaiian-inspired snacks that the kids will love without spending all day in the kitchen.
Lilo & Stitch Birthday Cake
Every birthday needs a show-stopping cake, right? But before you panic and start searching for professional bakers, hear me out—you can totally do this! Here’s an idea:
Easy DIY Cake
Bake a simple sheet cake (or grab one from the store, I won’t tell). Frost it with bright blue icing to represent the ocean. Then, add some crumbled graham crackers along the edge for sand. Pop a few toys Lilo & Stitch figurines on top, and you’ve got a cake that’s party-ready and oh-so-cute!
If baking isn’t your thing, you can always opt for cupcakes instead of a traditional cake. Cupcakes are a fun and easy alternative that can still make a big impression. To tie them into your theme, decorate each one with printed edible Lilo and Stitch topper made from sugar.
These cute and creative touches will instantly elevate your cupcakes, making them just as adorable and festive as any cake. Plus, cupcakes are perfect for individual servings, allowing your guests to grab and enjoy them with ease. Whether you’re hosting a beach-themed baby shower, birthday party, or summer wedding, these charming cupcakes will be a hit and save you from the stress of baking a full cake!
Party Games to Keep the Fun Going
You’ve got the invites, the decor, and the food—now it’s time to make sure those kiddos have a blast. Here are some game ideas that are easy to set up and super fun to play:
Limbo Time!
What’s a Hawaiian party without a limbo contest? Grab a broomstick (or anything long and straight), turn up the Hawaiian music, and let the fun begin! Watching the kids see how low they can go is a classic party activity that never gets old. Trust me, the kids will absolutely love it, and it’ll keep them entertained for hours. So, get ready for some serious limbo fun!
Coloring Pages!
If you’re looking for a low-key, creative activity to keep the kiddos entertained while sticking to the Lilo & Stitch theme, a coloring page station is a must-add to your party lineup. It’s simple to set up, and kids will love expressing their creativity while coloring their favorite characters. Plus, it’s a great way to keep the party atmosphere fun and relaxed. Trust me, this activity will be a hit!
