Party Decorations

Transform your party space into a Hawaiian paradise! Here are some decoration ideas:

Color Scheme

Use a bright and cheerful color palette inspired by the movie. Think blues, greens, pinks, and yellows. Incorporate these colors in balloons, streamers, and tablecloths.

Tropical Decor

• Tropical Flowers: If you can find some tropical flowers in your garden, then this decoration would really give the Lilo and Stitch vibe. If you don’t have access to real tropical flowers, use artificial flowers like hibiscus and plumeria to add a festive touch. You can place them in vases around the party area.
• Luau Accessories: Hang leis around the party space and have them available for guests as they arrive.
• Stitch Cutouts: Create or buy cutouts of Stitch and Lilo to place around the area, making for great photo ops.
• Banner: Adding a banner as a backdrop will really add the Lilo and Stitch vibe to your area. You can take inspirations from one of these templates, opt for the classic duo or go for the whole Lilo and Stitch family

Table Setup

Create a buffet-style table with tropical-themed plates and cups. Decorate the table with a colorful tablecloth and you can always add fresh or faux flowers to add more flair to your table set up.

Craft Station

Set up a craft station where kids can create their own Lilo and Stitch-themed crafts. They can decorate surfboards (made from cardboard), create friendship bracelets, or paint small canvases inspired by the characters.
