1. I started by looking for invitations on Etsy and I found Pink Pickle studio's etsy shop. I loved their cute Luau invites so we ordered those. You can see them HERE. I did have a little trouble since when they emailed me the invite and it said "Your invited" instead of "You're invited". Kind of weird but we asked them to fix that and they did. We just printed them out at cosco and then hand delivered them (and emailed some).
2. The set up. We had the party in Cammi's backyard. We set up 2 tables and lots of chairs for where the kids would eat. We got the cute table clothes at Party city.
3. Food! The party was at 1:30 so we made it simple and just did snacks and cupcakes. The kids loved the food! We had: Tropical juice pouches, Rainbow goldfish, Cheesy sun chips (Cammi's request), A fruit rainbow, and cupcakes!
4. The cupcakes! I am SOO happy with how they turned out! I found the idea at Family fun's site. They took a long time to make but were really yummy.
I had this idea then to make Cammi a Rainbow fish! She was the only one who had it and it was a special birthday treat for her.
5. The activity's. We split them up into 4 different groups and the rotated to each different activity
Activity #1.. Limbo! Sorry no pictures...
Activity #2 Digging for treasure!
We bought a kitty pool at walmart, bought sand at home depot and filled it with fun prizes from the 99 cents store! The kids loved this activity and thought it was so much fun!
Activity #3 Donuts on a string! Cammi told me before we had even planned the party that this HAD to be one of the activity's. It was and was very fun!
Activity # 4 Games with Hula hoops and balls!I was in charge of this station so this is the only picture I got.... after the party. All I did was come up with a few quick games with the balls and hula hoops, but everyone had fun. They also blew bubbles and danced to Hawaiian music!
6. Pinata time!
Here is the cute fish pinata we bought at party city. We filled it with candy and let the kids hit away!
7. The party buckets
We found sand buckets that were a great price and filled them with some fun stuff. Like their own canteen/water bottles, rubber duckies, a Hawaiian kit to make a bracelet, bubbles, a noise maker, candy from pinata and the prizes from sand digging. They also got a Lei at the beginning of the party from the birthday girl.
The Birthday girl was very happy and I hope she had a great birthday! ( I just had to take a picture with her and the amazing clouds in the background!)
Happy birthday Camsi! I love you!
