Invitations/Decorations:

It's easy to think Hawaian for this party. Do something different -- hand out leis with the party details written on a tag that you can tie on. Make the tag in the shape of a flower to fit in with the lei better. Hand deliver for more excitement.
Cut surfboard shapes from construction paper, decorating the front with markers and stickers, and writing the party details on the back. Try using Lilo and Stitch stickers so your guests will know your party theme.
Use invitations from the Lilo & Stitch birthday kit, with a Lilo and Stitch picture on the front.
Ask your guests to dress in a favorite Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and grass skirts. Greet everyone with a warm and friendly "Aloha!" and pass out sunglasses for them to wear.
Decorate with tiki torches and surfboards.

Games:

Musical Mats - Everyone knows that Lilo loves rock-n-roll, so your guests are sure to enjoy this version of Musical Chairs. Instead of chairs, use beach mats or beach towels laid out in a large play area. Use one less mat or towel than there are players and play some classic tunes (Elvis’ Hunka, Hunka Burnin’ Love is recommended.) When the music stops, players rush to sit on a beach mat. The player who is left without a mat is out of the game. Continue removing a beach mat each round until you have a winner!
Lilo and Stitch Prize Bounce - Stitch, the renegade alien that Lilo adopts as a pet, is known for the havoc he wreaks due to his destructive behavior. This game allows your guests to act like Stitch without destroying your home! Before the party, insert a small, lightweight party favor such as a sticker into the opening of a balloon before inflating it. Then, blow air into the balloon and repeat until you have a balloon for each guest. Decorate the party area with the balloons as you normally would. When the party is almost over, give a balloon to each guest. Tell everyone they must pop the balloon by sitting on, jumping on, kicking it, etc. They’ll love the great surprise they find inside and will have a lot of fun acting like Stitch while trying to pop the balloon!
Hula Hoop Competition - Teach the kids how to use a hula hoop, and then let them see who can go the longest before the hoop hits the ground.
Water Balloons - Have the guests team up into groups of two, each with one water balloon. While facing each other, the teams toss the balloon back and forth, backing up one step after each throw. Whichever team keeps their balloon from breaking while farthest apart, wins. Or, just let them all throw water balloons at each other (!).
Play the Limbo! 'Nuff said.
Lip Sync with Stitch - Let the kids take turns singing to their favorite songs, or teach them a traditional Hawaiian song.
Lilo and Stitch Bingo - Using Lilo and Stitch clipart, make your own bingo cards (remember, each one must be unique), and an extra set of each image. The extras you can cut up and place in a bowl for drawing. Use shells to cover each bingo square as it is drawn. 3 in a row wins! Or play blackout, where all nine squares must be covered to win.

Activities/Crafts:

Make it a swim party if you have access to a pool, or buy an inexpensive kiddie pool to play in.
Make your own Lilo and Stitch skirt: using string, tie it around each guest's waist. Staple or tape streamers from the string (green for a grass skirt). You can also decorate your garbage cans, coolers, and ice buckets with mini-grass skirts.
Shell Picture Frames - give each guest an inexpensive frame or make one from stiff cardboard. Have an assortment of shells that they can glue on their frames as a take home favor. You can also take a picture of each guest with the birthday child, and insert it in the frame.
Stitch Ukelali - Start with a child's shoe box for each guest. Let them decorate it with markers, paper, etc. Once it is done, stretch 3 or 4 rubber bands around the box, and attach a paint stir stick on the back for the neck of the instrument. Now, hold a concert!

Food

Serve tropical trail mix in bowls around the party.
Buy cocktail drink umbrellas and serve punch with bits of pineapple, ice, and place an umbrella in each glass.
Make fruit kabobs with pineapple, grapes, apples, strawberries, or anything firm that is in season.
If you're adventurous, roast some pork for pull apart shredded pork sandwiches.
