Friends and Family BBQ Blowout with Oriental Trading Company -- Review

Disclosure:  I received one or all products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

If you've been following me for awhile, you know that I spent this past Summer traveling and moving from Pennsylvania to Florida.  My family had adventure after adventure and you better believe there will be multiple posts about the grand time we had while our belongings were hanging out in a warehouse in Florida!  First thing is first though.  While at home in Kansas, my very awesome friend Tina hosted a BBQ!  This BBQ had a tropical theme.  Oriental Trading Company was the perfect place to get the accessories for this party!


We are the nation's largest direct merchant of value-priced party supplies, arts and crafts, toys and novelties, and a leading provider of school supplies and affordable home décor and giftware. OTC has been recognized as one of the Top 50 Internet Retailers and one of the Top 50 Catalog Companies.

It was so hard to choose from what I wanted to choose from Oriental Trading to make this BBQ perfect!  Of course with a tropical theme, we needed leis for everyone to wear!  Leis and seashells for the tables!  Oh, and don't forget about a fun activity!!


These pictures only show a small piece of the fun that was had! The options for Leis are great!  You can get smaller ones for the Littles and normal adult sizes.  We chose a few different choices which gave us different colors and styles.  Check out their website to choose from over 70 options!

My favorite item was the Inflatable Luau Body Boppers!  They are the perfect way to add a little fun and get rough with your friends!  My husband and I didn't hold back.  I got knocked down on the ground at least once!  So fun!!  The kids enjoyed them as well.  Oriental Trading Company offers a child's version of Boppers, but as you can tell in the video below, the adult size worked just as well for them!  **No children were hurt during the filming of this video.


As you can see we had tons of fun at this BBQ Blowout!  Oriental Trading Company helped make these memories even better than I had imagined!  Take a look at their site next time you're planning a party!  It doesn't have to be just a BBQ.  They can help you make Halloween a little spookier or your Wedding Reception magical!

  10. Oriental Trading Company is a go to for novelty stuff and even budget based teaching tools. And their sister company, Terry's Village- affordable but still quality home decor. Love both. And it looks like everyone had a great time at the party.
