Invitations

For invitations I decided to just buy blank cards and write the invites by hand. I also considered buying beach balls and writing out the invites on them with a sharpie but I thought it would be too much of hassle since some people might not even come.

Decorations

I bought parrot, Island flower, and Island garlands at Dollar Tree and Hung them in the basement. I also bought an Aloha sign. I mostly just decorated with crepe paper to have tiki effect. Everyone loved my decorations. If you just be creative it can look awesome.

Party Favors

For prizes I just bought some jolley Ranchers, Lip gloss, and hair stuff. You should have seen how much I had left over though so I just let everybody take a handful of it and there was none left. For goody bags I bought the Bubblicious 5 pack of gum from Dollar tree and gave everyone one, 1 lei, tropical bubbles, lollipops, and the enormous amount of candy they got from there piñatas and I mean enormous.

Games and Activities

For games I had Volley balloon toss where you just toss the water balloon back and fourth with a towel over a net, a water balloon fight, water balloon toss, Hula Pass~ everyone stands in a line; link hands and without letting go of hands try getting the hula hoop from the beginning of the line to the end, Hula Pass~ I filled two buckets with ice cold water and put Hula gear in them (leis, hula skirts, beach hats, sunglasses, etc.) On go the first person runs puts on all the gear and then says hula takes off all the gear tags the next person and so on the first team to finish wins, musical towels~ exactly like musical chairs except with beach towels, sopping wet tag ~ wet a sponge thoroughly and begin throwing, Crazy Coconut~ Sit in a circle. One person tosses a ball (coconut) while saying a word like shell the girl catching the ball must say a word that begins with the last letter of the word that was said before, if the person doesn't do this there out, and so forth until there is one person left, Coconut Stampede~ Tie balloons to everyone’s ankles and stomp away, Pin the tail on the Donkey~ I think you know how to play this game!! I only did it because the game was so stupid it was funny everyone loved this game! Piñata~ fill with candy and hit away until candy falls out! I just played the Freaky Friday Soundtrack for almost the whole Party. One of my friends brought her CD's So we ended up dancing until we couldn't stop it was so much fun especially when my parents came down and started dancing.
