Moana Party Decorations

Disney's Moana¿: The Fierce Non-Princess

Moana is different. She doesn't want to live the pampered life of a royal princess, and she certainly doesn't want to stay in one place for the rest of her life. She's fiercely independent and strong in the face of adversity.

Does that description sound familiar? Do you have a child in your life who is constantly striving for more and doesn't want to ask for help because they want to do it themselves? If so, a Moana birthday party might be a great idea!

Mischievous Maui

The characters in Moana's circle are rather boisterous ¿ especially Maui. Interestingly, the Maui character is based off Hawaiian mythology, in which Maui was a demigod. Just like the character in the film, Maui the demigod was a bit of a troublemaker. To his credit, legends say he was responsible for lifting the sky to allow humans a more comfortable existence on Earth.

Why do people like Maui so much? Since the character was voiced by an actor most people deem likeable (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), it's easy to like Maui too. And he does redeem himself before the end of the film, helping Moana in her quest and becoming the leader he always thought he was.

Transform Your Space

It's not difficult to turn any party space into a scene out of Moana ¿ even if you don't have access to the ocean and mythological figures. Some Moana character cutouts will make for some great photos as well as decorations. Guests will love snapping photos next to Moana or Maui, and some palm tree stand-ups will help things feel much more tropical, even if there's snow falling outside.

More Moana Decorations

Add some balloons and hanging decorations to your party space to ensure a festive feel for your indoor tropical oasis. Wall decorations work particularly well when you don't have a lot of space to work with, as they take advantage of the space that's already there. The right tableware will complement your decor nicely and will make everything feel celebratory.

A Moana Luau

Some grass skirts, leis, tiki party favors and tropical food will complete the party. Be careful - once you start pulling together your Moana birthday party, you might decide that island life is the life for you. Enjoy the festivities while they last, but then it's time to hang up your hula skirt and reluctantly return to normal life.
