five easy moana (or luau!) party ideas

5 easy DIY moana party ideas (with tons of luau and pineapple party ideas)

5 easy DIY moana party ideas (with tons of luau and pineapple party ideas)The best part of putting together Piper’s Moana birthday party was the Saipan nostalgia- a house filled with beachy, tropical, island-y goodness was such a fun way to celebrate. But the second best part was how easy the party was to put together. By gathering beachy accessories from around our house, and then making just a few pineapple-y, Moana-ish projects, the party came together so quickly!

And, since everyone I know is planning a Moana party, I thought I’d do a quick roundup of super easy DIY Moana party ideas-

1- Pineapple vases

5 easy DIY moana party ideas (with tons of luau and pineapple party ideas)

These are as easy as they seem- hollow out a pineapple, fill with water and use as a vase. It was easier for me to make an “X” in the middle of the pineapple, to make a little square around the X, and then hollow out by cutting at varying 45 degree angles. After hollowing, fill with water and add flowers- tropical fabulousness!

2- Pineapple cups

These pineapple cups are so cute, and so easy! First cut out a pile of green pineapple stems. Use a sharpie to draw diamonds and x’s on yellow cups. Then tape one stem to each cup and you’re done!

3- Golden pineapples

easy DIY golden pineapples (so fun for a moana party, a pineapple party, or a luau!)

These are such show stoppers- they are super easy to make and fit anywhere as party decor (on the mantel, as centerpieces, on every spare space you can find!). To make, just tie a plastic bag around the stem and spray paint!

4- Moana sailboat wafers

To make these DIY Moana Wafer Sailboats, use watercolor paints to add swirls to each ‘sail.’ It was easiest for me to add one wide swirl and then fill in the other swirl. Then cut out each sail, tape to a toothpick, stick in a wafer and you have the cutest little fleet of Moana’s boats as party food!

5- Moana quotes & lyrics

Moana kid's birthday party (with tons of pineapple party decor and a luau vibe)Moana kid's birthday party (with tons of pineapple party decor and a luau vibe)If you have a lightbox or a felt letter board (or even a chalkboard), this party decor idea is too easy. Since there are so many great quotes from Moana, just add your favorites as quotes to the party decor. We even printed out engineer prints with lyrics from the Moana soundtrack and party guests had fun coloring those in as well.

5 easy DIY moana party ideas (with tons of luau and pineapple party ideas)As a bonus tip- Target has two entire sections of pineapple stuff in their dollar bin and stationary section right now. All of that stuff came out the week after Piper’s Moana party (ironic, right?)- bummer for us, but SO FUN if you’re still planning. Happy Moana Party-ing, friends!

party themes- sprinkled with love party ideas

party theme ideas- 24 sprinkled with love party ideas

Remember once upon a time when Piper Jane turned 2 and had a Sprinkle Party? Well, as you might imagine, that party theme is a little hard to top. So even though she loves Madeline, and glitter, and Frozen-and-mermaids-and-princesses (this year’s party theme ideas so far), every year we throw around the idea of having […]

party like a rock star

Time to party like a rock star! This sweet rock star birthday party includes all sorts of party ideas- like the abundance of disco balls!

My niece Josie (aka- the cutest 2 year old EVER) loves music and is constantly singing. It is darling, and also just begs for a fabulously musical, disco ball studded rock star party, don’t you agree? Guess which aunt was home from Saipan for said birthday party? Yep, this lucky girl right here. And what […]
