More Moana Princess Birthday party Invitations and Thank you cards

The first item on your party to-do list is to have your child pick out their favorite Disney Moana birthday party invitation and invite some guests. I have included Disney Moana thank you cards in this heading as they are often bundled together with birthday party invitations if you purchase them from the store.

Be sure to include the date, time and location of the party on your invite, Your guest must know who the party is for and if there is a special event included in the party. This way they will know if they need to bring money, supplies or costuming.

Be sure to ask if there are any special dietary concerns for your guests. Parents will also need to know approximate pick up times or if the parent is to also attend the party.

Birthday invitations can be delivered in person, via snail mail or email. Asking for a RSVP by phone or email by a certain date will also help you plan the party. There are many colorful and age appropriate Hawaiian Oceania themed invitations and thank you cards. 

When sending thank-you cards, be sure to mention the givers name and type of gift received and write a personal notation. If the child is old enough, it is good form to have them fill out all or part of the thank you and to sign the card.

Thank you cards should be sent out in a timely manner, usually within a week of the party. Thank you cards can also be delivered by hand or sent by mail. Disney Moana invitations and thank you cards are the most important part of throwing the best Disney Moana birthday party for your child.

Moana Birthday Party Games for your Princess

I remember games at every birthday party I ever went to. They provided giggles and were a good way to build up appetites for the yummy food and cake. Do you remember your favorite childhood memory of gut busting party games? 

My favorite was musical chairs. It would be fun to give the child who is left without a chair when the music stops a colorful Disney Moana character sticker. The last child standing could get a Moana doll or action figure or other Hawaiian themed party favor. For playing Moana musicals chairs at your Disney Moana princess birthday party, it would be perfect to use the Disney Moana soundtrack!

Another favorite birthday party game that I remember is Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Disney Moana has modified this game to Pin the Shades on Heihei. This adorable bantam rooster is the victim in this classic childrens game, and instead of a tail the guests try to attach a pair of uber cool sun glasses to Hei-heis face.

What could be more fun than blindfolded children trying to stick a pair of shades on a chicken! The good new is that we no longer use pins, just stickers. What a hoot!! Your princess is sure to be the talk of the town after hosting this unique and colorful Moana princess birthday party game.

Would you like to try to pin the nose on perky, pudgy Pua the Pig? This little pig is so cute it cannot help but make you smile!

Moana Disney Princess Bingo

I loved playing bingo as a kid! This unique Disney Moana themed Bingo game is downloadable and printable from the comfort of your own home. The cute graphics on the bingo squares are so appealing. What a great Disney Moana birthday party game idea. I am sure the little princess guests will look forward to playing this game. The game includes 30 unique cards, a set of calling cards and markers.

Other Disney Moana Birthday Party Game Ideas - Toys, Books, Pinatas and Movie Activities

It would be fun for the kids to incorporate Disney Moana toys into a party. For the younger group, why not have a little quiet time by reading them a Princess Moana story?

When outdoors, a Moana inspired treasure hunt or an old-fashioned game of hide and seek are great interactive games. When the party must happen indoors, Charades is always a fun standby party game. So many games can be adapted to suit a Polynesian Disney Moana Princess Birthday Party.

Another party game that will wow the kids would be a Hawaiian themed pinata. I showed one above in the decorating section. Here is another Disney Moana inspired pinata set that comes with the fillings too! This one is a mylar balloon instead of the traditional paper mache.

You may decide just to kick back and watch the Moana movie DVD. There is nothing more exciting than a Moana movie birthday party event. Popcorn and a drink would be excellent snacks for this type of activity. These are all superb Disney Moana birthday party ideas.

Please enjoy a trailer video clip form the Disney Moana movie to give you additional ideas for planning the best Moana birthday party experience for your child or tween.

Food Ideas for the Moana Princess Party that will have your tummy rumbling

Melamine Moana Petal Shaped PlateMelamine Moana Petal Shaped Plate

Part of planning for the best Disney Moana Birthday must include some appetite pleasing food ideas. If you are not going out to a restaurant, ordering in, having a pot luck or having the event catered, then some thought must be given to the culinary and dietary wants and needs of your particular group of island voyagers.

Things to keep in mind include allergies, food sensitivities and general dislikes of the guest list. Asking this question in the invitation is always a good preventative preparation measure to take.

Any vegans or vegetarians? Any gluten issues? Perhaps the standby of hot dogs or hamburgers will be acceptable, [maybe with gluten free breads] but if not, there are many other tasteful ways to fill the stomachs of these growing kids.

I absolutely love this beautiful Moana melamine platter! It is perfect for serving party treats and finger foods!

Here are some tasty suggestions for Hawaiian and Polynesian Moana themed party snacks even the pickiest kid will enjoy!

  1. A tropical luau type of meal. Provide them with party skewers of fruit, cheese [or tofu] and appropriate veggies. Teriaki and pineapple skewers would be great as a hot food item. These would go so well with the Disney Moana of Oceana theme. Top this off with Pina Colada mocktails to complete the Island theme.
  2. A 'grazing' buffet. Provide choices of cheeses, meats, fruits, veggies, dips and various types of crackers. If the child knows his or her individual food limitations, then they can choose appropriate snacks. Perhaps have some umbrella toothpicks in some of the nibbles. These are sure to bring a smile to a princesses face. Making a meal out of appetizers always goes over well.
  3. A salad smorgasbord. If you have a majority of kids that are veggie lovers, then DIY salads are a hit. Provide all the fixings and let them create their own masterpiece. Add a dollop of their favorite dressing and voila! Another good idea is apple & peanut butter rafts to go with the Moana theme. Provide a platter of tropical fruits such as pineapple and oranges to add to the Polynesian island flair.
  4. Pigs in a blanket or corn dogs and grilled pineapple slices are a great island variant on the basic hot dog. Mock Mai-Tais with cute little cocktail umbrellas go well with these food items.
  5. Cold fried chicken and watermelon are great for Disney Moana princess beach parties and outdoor parties. This is a make ahead meal that must be consumed within 2 days. Make sure to transport and keep the chicken in a cooler to store it at the proper temperature to avoid food poisoning or botulism. This ideal temperature is 35 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The Disney Moana Birthday Cake Is The Main Attraction Of The Party

The Disney Moana princess birthday cake is the grand finale, the conclusion, the centerpiece, the end to all ends of the Moana Princess birthday celebration! Disney Moana birthday party ideas must include a scrumptious dessert in one form or another, usually a birthday cake or birthday cupcakes.

How the Moana birthday cake or cupcakes are decorated is sure to be the matter of much discussion. Easy things are ice-cream cakes and store or bakery made cakes. These purchased cakes come with lovely decorations. But if you are a hard core birthday planner, you may wish to bake your own Moana birthday cake masterpiece. 

My mom always used to wrap coins in wax paper and bake them into an angel food cake. What a treat! There are some great Moana cake and cupcake toppers that are available on Amazon to please your princess.

Moana Birthday Party Venues to Entrance your tween and younger kids

Where will you hold your Disney Moana Princess birthday party? Some great ideas are:

  • Renting a bowling alley for your Moana birthday party. Kids love to bowl as a party activity. Night bowling offers glow in the dark and musical fun to add ambiance. Adding glow in the dark props like palm trees or waves to the background decor would be appropriate. Your kids could wear glow in the dark tube necklaces to light up their tropical princess world.
  • Swimming pool birthday parties are a year round favorite venue. Sometimes the local indoor pool has special activities just for birthdays. Perhaps arrange some ocean themed water games to get our adventurous Moana voyagers in the party mood. A craft building a floatable canoe out of popsicle sticks would be just the ticket for your adventurers. A good way to calm down after and invigorating swim.
  • Who doesn't love beach parties? Sand, beach blankets, games and splashing in the water! Renting canoes for a paddle would for sure fit the Moana Princess theme. A beach is wonderful place for hot summer time birthday parties. Just make sure you have shade, sun screen, umbrellas and hats for UV protection. We wouldn't want our princesses to get sun burns
  • A local park is a great place for a Moana princess birthday celebration. Playgrounds, waterparks, petting zoos and historical sites all add interest and adventure to a party. Perhaps you can share some history of Polynesian or Island folklore as a story telling addition to enthrall your princesses at the party. Producing and video taping an improvised play performed by the kids and sending videos home could be an excellent birthday celebration project.
  • A horseback riding activity would so much fun! This is a great birthday party idea if you have a local equestrian arena. Some places provide pony or horseback riding for special occasions. The kids would love this. Working a Moana theme into a horsey afternoon just takes a colorful imagination. The Moana party could be centralized to the eating area after a fulfilling ride fit for a princess.
  • Zoos have many activities centered around young people that can be easily integrated into a princesses birthday theme. Most zoos have an entertainment or picnic area. Setting up for a Hawiaan style luau or barbeque in a picnic area is in good taste. If it is a good outdoor area, a scavenger hunt for hidden Moana, Maui, Pua and Hei-Hei treasures might be in order.
  • Renting a hall and playing the Disney Moana movie on a big screen TV, complete with popcorn is a great birthday venue ide.  A Disney Moana movie or DVD viewing party is a great idea for inclement weather. Add some palm trees and flower decorations to create a Polynesian Island oasis to your Moana food offerings.
  • An ice skating or roller skating rink provides physical activity and is a great location for a Moana birthday party.  Picture all your little princess party participants in their Hawaiian grass skirts and colorful flower leis skating to the Disney Moana soundtrack. What fun!!
  • A museum would be a great way for kids to learn and have a memorable birthday experience. If you are fortunate enough to get a guide for your group, you can plan a few activities around the museum attractions and your Moana tropical princess theme.

There are many more venues that would be ideal for a Disney Moana birthday party. Planning the venue with your birthday girl or boy will be an awesome bonding experience.

Thank you for visiting! I  hope your princess will be so impressed with the ideas you have gleaned from this Best Disney Moana birthday party ideas article. As a grandmother to an 8 year old girl, I understand how important these events are to a girl and her friends. It's an age where playing is still fun, but being able to impress friends is also important. I am sure you will have a great time planning this important birthday too!
