Party Time - Backyard Luau!

Luau Themed Backyard Birthday CelebrationWe had a HULA lot of fun!

What a great time we had celebrating my niece's birthdays with a luau themed backyard party.
Celebrating for 2 girls while keeping the celebration affordable was the plan - here are some of the homemade decorations.

Painted Log Tiki!

Tiki - This hand painted titi (a fireplace log) greeted guests - supplies needed: paint, log & imagination!
Chalkboard painted signs welcomed guests and can be used over and over again! Click here for our chalkboard paint secret!

Guests were greeted 'island style' with lies and handmade hibiscus hair clips (artificial flowers hot glued to hair clips)

 

One of the highlights was the ALOHA Bingo game! This customized party game was ordered through Etsy - what a hit!  We were sent the customized files via email and all we had to do was print them out and had a perfectly fun party game that was inexpensive and totally 'theme-tastic'.

TrulyBillEve on Etsy offers so many customizable bingo games that include Lego, Star Wars, American Girl, Hello Kitty and so much more - tell them Mom's Lifesavers sent you!

There were also 'stations' for the kids, including Hula, Frisbee, Limbo and Make Your Own Tiki Necklace!

The tiki necklaces appealed to both the boys and girls and were very inexpensive to make. For "how-to' click here.

What would a party be without cake? Not a party, that's for sure! Here are the two cakes for the celebration - a hula doll cake and Tiki of course!

Hula Doll Cake

 

Totally Tiki Cake

At the end of the party young guests were sent home with party themed bubbles and jump ropes - perfect for summer fun! The customized bubble wrappers were from Michelle's Party Shop on Etsy. Please tell Michelle we said hi!

The Bubble Labels Are So Cute! They Read "Thanks for Coming...We hope you had a HULA lot of fun!"

Tropical Trail Mix for the Grown-Ups!

Adults were sent home with a taste of the islands as well - tropical trail mix that included macadamia nuts and shaved coconut! These 'pretzel' style bags were topped with paper flowers.

Thanks for visiting us at Mom's Lifesavers!
