Luau Party for Emily's 5th Birthday

We did a luau party for Emily's 5th birthday.

I ordered the invitations from http://www.birthdayinabox.com/

The ones I used are no longer available but there are many other choices.

I had a lot of luau stuff already like grass skirting for the decks, inflatable palm trees etc.

For the activities, we had sand art where you could make your own sandcastles. I ordered the kits and sand from Oriental Trading.

It was a big hit with the kids.

                                        I gave each kid a grass skirt and lei if they wanted one!!
                                                            We also played limbo!

We let the kids swim and play!!

I just served Chick-Fil-A nuggets and had bowls of colorful skittles, goldfish etc.

My dad helped me and we cut fruit kabobs into shaped with cookie cutters!!

They were a big hit!!

For favors, we had sand pails that I personalized with flower stickers I had gotten in the walmart clearnace section. I gave each kid a pair of sunglasses, water toy fish game from OTC, goldfish crackers, fruit stackers, palm tree bubbles also from OTC, and homemade coloring books with a thank you poem in the back. I found a lot of cute summer printables at kaboose.com and crayola.com

It was a fun, low-key party!!

I made this cake from the Wilton Palm Tree Pan.

It was the first cake like this I have ever made!

I thought it turned out cute!!
