Adventures await at our Moana party! When it came time to decide on a birthday theme for my daughter she knew exactly what she wanted. We all really enjoyed the movie, and up until the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack was released, it is all we listened to. I couldn't wait to plan this party and bring the tropical island vibes to our chilly neighborhood. How far will you go with these Moana birthday party ideas?
Moana Birthday Party Ideas
This wasn't my first go at a tropical themed party. A few years ago we had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Luau for my son. It was super fun and a lot of those decorations came in handy for this party.
Moana Party Goodie Bags
The goody cups were filled with hibiscus hair clips, tropical tattoos, organic snacks, and nail polish. Everything you need to get started on your own sea journey right? Luckily our Hei-Hei didn't try to eat anything.
For the tablescape, I kept it simple with decorative flowers, sea shells, and the Moana plates.
Moana Party Food
I adore this hula table skirt. It gives just the right pop to any table you adorn with it.
My daughter requested a salad and fruit. Got to love a kid who wants a healthy party! I also made ham and cheese sandwiches, Maui's Hook pretzels, and of course dessert. It can't all be healthy right?
I sprinkled more flowers and sea shells on the island. The flower vase centerpiece is the same I used for the Mickey party minus Mickey.
Yes I made the pretzels from scratch and no it was not fun. I do not own a bread maker and this was my first foray into making bread dough. So much work. But they tasted delicious. Recipe possibly coming soon if I can psych myself up to make them again.

What a fun theme for a party! I love the colors and decorations- the flowers are a beautiful touch as well.
What a great party theme. You did an awesome job tying it all together.
This is a wonderful themed party set-up. My favourite is the colour scheming. How about a yam-flavoured cake for a little Polynesian-inspired addition? 🙂
I haven’t yet seen Moana, but your party looks like a lot of fun. I am definitely hungry after seeing your food ideas. I do love Hawaii, and hope to visit it again soon.
Ahhhhh! This is so adorable! I know this is going to be a big hit this summertime! I’d love to throw a Moana themed party for my kiddos!
Those cupcakes are so cute! Looks like a great set up!

These are such adorable ideas! We already had my daughter’s party this year, but this might come in handy for her next party
Such fun ideas, love the colors and the cupcakes look delicious! We just rented the movie last week and we loved it.
Oh wow these are such fab ideas! I so loved that movie, it’s my fav!
I love how pretty and how creative your party decor was! The cake was beautiful, too – so swirly!
I still have not seen this movie yet, even though all my friends raved about it. I love how you decorated the cupcakes – they give off such a beachy feel. Wonderful planning!
I am actually really impressed that you made those pretzels from scratch I think that they look great and even better that the Moanna party idea is such a great concept. Love the decor x
I love the moana doll. She looks so beautiful but I’m here for her chicken. That chicken entertained me the entire movie.
I love the amazing looking cupcakes and the fruit salad. I am always a big fan of fruit salad. If we ever do a themed Moana birthday I will have to do something like this.
This has to be one of the best Moana themed parties that I’ve seen. I love all the details. I think the plates and the cups are adorable. I can’t imagine the kids not enjoying this one.
Everything’s just really pretty. I love the cupcakes and the cake! The pretzels aren’t that bad, I swear. I’m sure with more practice you’re going to make them look even better. Everything’s awesome!
Moana is so popular. Do you have some ideas that involve the theme but not the merchandise?
This would be perfect for those summer birthday. I loved this movie..
Oh what a fun Birthday party idea. My grand daughters would love this. The food looks scrumptious and the flora is gorgeous.
Am so familiar with luau party and its really awesomely colorful! But i think am the only person in the world who havrn’t watch Moana.. Omg i must!
Very pretty decorations and cupcakes. I loved the movie too, very confident young lady is a good role model.
Moana Birthday theme party is an awesome idea. I liked it.
Omg this was just too cute! I loved Moana and wish I was still a young girl so I could go full out on a Moana party like yours. Maybe an Adult version?
Everything looks amazing!
