Party Planning Tips
Now, let’s get to the fun part: the tips! Trust me, I’ve thrown enough Lilo & Stitch parties to know what works and what doesn’t. So here’s some insider advice:
- Make the Party Space Look Like Hawaii: Think tropical! Use palm fronds, leis, and bamboo. Drape some tropical floral garlands on the walls, and use coconut cups for drinks. And let’s not forget about a Hawaiian music playlist to set the vibe!
- Stitch-Themed Games: I’ve had success with a Stitch Pinata, and a good ol’ game of “Stitch Says” (just like Simon Says, but with a Stitch twist). It gets the kids moving and laughing, which is exactly what you want!
- Food & Drink Ideas: Here’s a fun idea I love—Stitch’s Blue Punch. It’s just blue sports drink mixed with lemon-lime soda, and a little ice, but the kids go crazy for it! And for treats, don’t forget pineapple-shaped cookies and tropical fruit skewers. You’ll have guests asking for the recipe!
