Party Tips
Thank you/Goody bag gifts
I personally don’t like junky gift bags (giving or receiving). Who needs more clutter or broken toys? One of our biggest expenses for this party was ordering a Moana dress and necklace for each girl attending. But it should be better for you to have it for your kid’s birthday. See these images, for some inspirations.
Fixed Invitation Design
Our Moana Birthday Invitation Templates (7”x5” landscape orientation) offer the perfect way to infuse the magic of Motunui into their special day. This all happened thanks to the enchanting design that displays Moana and friends, surrounded by gorgeous watercolor greenery for authentic Hawaiian extravaganza filled with adventure, friendship, and joy.

Creating an Island Paradise at Home
First things first, let’s talk about transforming your living room (or backyard) into a tropical paradise. The key is to immerse your guests in the world of Moana as soon as they walk in. Think vibrant blues, lush greens, and splashes of coral and pink. Now, before you start hyperventilating about the potential cost, let me let you in on a little secret—DIY is your best friend.
DIY Decor Tips:
Paper Flowers & Palm Leaves
These are super easy to make and instantly bring that tropical vibe to life. Just grab some colorful paper, scissors, and a bit of glue, and voilà—instant paradise! You can even get the kids involved in the crafting; they’ll love it, and you’ll save a bundle on decorations.
Beach Towels & Blankets
Do you have a stash of beach towels that only see the light of day during summer vacations? Repurpose them as tablecloths or floor mats. It’s a fun way to add some texture and color to your space without spending a dime.
Leis & Sea Shells
Leis are a must for any island-themed party. You can find inexpensive ones at the dollar store, and they’re great for both decoration and as fun party accessories. Scatter some seashells around, and you’re practically on the beach! If you’re anything like me, your crafting skills might need a little polishing. But don’t worry—imperfections add character! As long as the kids are having fun, no one’s going to notice that one palm leaf is a little crooked. Just tell them it’s blowing in the island breeze!
Serving The Masterpiece: Moana Birthday Cake
Now, let’s talk cake. In my house, the birthday cake is the star of the show (after the birthday kid, of course!). But finding or commissioning a Moana-themed cake can get expensive fast. Don’t worry—I’ve got some budget-friendly ideas that’ll still wow your guests.
Cake Ideas:
Tropical Sheet Cake
A simple sheet cake can be transformed into an island masterpiece with the right decorations. Think edible sand made from crushed graham crackers, little Moana figurines, and some ocean waves piped on with blue frosting. Trust me, the kids will be so impressed they won’t even care that it’s not a three-tiered wonder.
Cupcake Island
Not a fan of big cakes? No problem. Cupcakes are not only easier to serve but also easier to decorate. You can create a whole island scene with cupcakes, each decorated with palm trees, ocean waves, or tiny edible flowers. Plus, the individual servings mean fewer cake-cutting disasters—score!
If your cake decorating skills are more “Pinterest fail” than “Cake Boss,” don’t sweat it (like me, lol). Just tell the kids it’s “abstract” and they’ll be too busy devouring it to care. Besides, isn’t the cake meant to be eaten, not just admired?
Keeping the Fun Afloat With Moana Beach Party Games
A party isn’t a party without games! But forget the usual “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” We’re talking Moana here, so let’s kick it up a notch with some island-inspired fun that’ll keep the kids entertained and laughing all day.
Coconut Bowling
Grab some empty coconut shells (or brown painted bowling balls if coconuts are hard to find) and set up a bowling alley in your backyard or hallway. Use empty plastic bottles as pins and watch as the kids have a blast trying to knock them down. It’s a simple, inexpensive game that’s sure to be a hit.
Coloring Page
One of the simplest yet most engaging activities you can include in your Moana beach party is a coloring station. It’s an excellent way to let the kids unwind and get creative, while still staying in the Moana theme. Plus, it’s a great activity for all ages—even the littlest party-goers can join in the fun with some help from an older sibling or parent.
“Mom Insight: Coloring pages are a lifesaver when you need a little downtime at the party. They give you a few moments to breathe, chat with other parents, or prepare the next activity—while the kids are happily occupied.”
Moana-Themed Coloring Pages
To keep with the Moana beach theme, you can offer coloring pages that feature characters and scenes from the movie. Think Moana sailing on her canoe, Maui showing off his hook, or the adorable Pua and Hei Hei getting into mischief. You can easily find free Moana coloring pages online, or better yet, use the following drawing.
How to Use Our Coloring Pages:
- Print and Prep: Before the party, print out enough coloring pages for each child. Make sure to have a variety of scenes so the kids can choose their favorites. If you’re feeling extra creative, print them on colored paper for a different twist!
- Set Up the Station: Create a cozy coloring station with a table, some chairs, and plenty of crayons, markers, and colored pencils. You could even add some Moana-themed stickers or stamps for the kids to use.
- Encourage Creativity: Let the kids know that they can color however they like—whether they want to stick to the movie’s colors or go wild with their own designs. After all, it’s their masterpiece!
Conclusion
And there you have it, moms—a complete guide to throwing the best Moana-themed birthday party ever! With a little creativity, a lot of love, and some help from our free resources, you’re well on your way to making your child’s special day as magical as the island of Motunui. Hope everything turns out great, moms!
