Lilo And Stitch Party Supplies
Lilo and Stitch are lovable children’s cartoon characters, and both boys and girls love the mischievous pair as they get into all kinds of trouble. If a child’s birthday is coming up, there are worse things a parent can do than gather in a load of Lilo and Stitch party supplies, and get ready for the fun to start. There are all kinds of Lilo and Stitch themed party goods, including cakes, balloons and other party favours. Hosting a Lilo and stitch birthday party will make the lucky child the envy of their whole neighbourhood.
Planning a Lilo and Stitch birthday party couldn’t be easier. There are plenty of videos and posters around to give adults an idea of the theme, which should resemble a children’s Hawaiian party, with sun, sea and surf. If the host can hold the party at the beach, so much the better: otherwise, just buy in lots of Lilo and Stitch party supplies to decorate the home, add a few beach-theme details, and the children should feel as though their favourite characters are participating in the birthday celebrations.
Invitations are a great way of establishing the theme of the party, so be sure to create or buy in invitations that look authentic – one way to do this is to made them ‘message in a bottle’ style invites – use paper stained with tea to make the invitations, then roll up and place them in bottles. Your children will love handing them out! Remember to include a message that says it is a Lilo and Stitch birthday party.
Decorating the party room with Lilo and Stitch themed items should be easily done: the characters live in Hawaii, so adult beach-party decorations such as palm trees or seashells are good substitutes for Lilo and Stitch party supplies. Another idea is to add small ‘alien’ features to the beach party, as Stitch is an alien. There are authentic Lilo and Stitch party supplies available from Disney and other retailers, but these can be stretched out by buying tropical themed party gear, and creating a ‘play’ area with sand, surfboards, and beach mats – if the parent is feeling adventurous, then they can serve the meals like a beach picnic, rather than on tables – or create a sand-pit outside and let the children have their party there.
Parents trying to buy Lilo and Stitch party supplies might consider buying fish-shaped balloons; there are some that are designed as ‘fish bowls’ and there are also dolphin-shaped balloons, these would be acceptable, so long as the adults remember that Stitch can’t go in the water! A Lilo and Stitch banner balloon could serve as the centrepiece, or the parent may decide to put several around the room, in which case it might be wise to invest in a helium balloon machine, as these balloons come uninflated.
Instead of splashing out on individual Lilo and Stitch party supplies for the table, parents should consider buying a package, which will contain plates, cups, napkins, and other essentials. These will be a lot cheaper than buying each plate and cup separately, and the saved budget can be put towards other Lilo and Stitch party supplies, such as banners.
All children want a birthday cake, and in a Lilo and Stitch themed party, these are the obvious figures to include in any baking being done; there are specially made Lilo and Stitch cakes, or parents can make one through the old trick of transferring an image by pricking an image onto the top of a cake, and icing according to the holes made. As an extra, parents can buy ‘gummy’ or chocolate fish to decorate the edges of the cake. Other party ideas include the traditional ‘pigs in blankets’ (sausages in bacon, or sausages in pastry, depending upon your traditions), tropical fruit selections, or pineapple treats; there are also special sweets which can be bought, either Lilo and Stitch party supplies sweets, or goodies in the shape of fish, seashells, dolphins, and other Hawaiian flora and fauna – parents might purchase a big bag of Swedish gummy fish, for instance.
Other necessities of a good Lilo and Stitch party include paper hats with the characters on them, loot bags which the kids can use to carry home their ill-gotten gains (or party favours), assorted packets of leis for the children to wear at the party (or to be put in the loot bag at the end of the day), Lilo and Stitch stickers, and many other items, all of which will probably end up in the goody bags at home time.
As well as these traditional items, it’s important to remember that this party is based around cartoon characters; one of the items that should be on the Lilo and Stitch party supplies list is a DVD set of the films; sometimes all that is needed is a TV and a few long-running shows, with a gift bag at the end, and the children will be completely happy with that. There are also some video games with Lilo and Stitch themes, although parents might need to watch the age limit on these.
Holding a Lilo and Stitch themed party might take a lot of effort and dedication, particularly when it comes to keeping it all within budget. Buying discount packages, and spreading the trademarked goods a little further by mixing it with general beach-party items is one way of letting the kids have their favourite cartoon characters without having to spend a great deal of money on everything. Lilo and Stitch party supplies might not be that cheap, but there are plenty of other items, such as palm trees, fish treats, and Hawaiian party balloons, that will help to keep the costs down without disappointing the kids. Parents may decide that, rather than spending a lot of money of Lilo and Stitch tableware, a better investment might be a ‘happy birthday’ banner which can be seen by everyone. However the adult decides to spend their money, the important thing to remember is that the children should be happy with the celebration.
