The summer weather is upon us, which means it’s a great time to have a luau party! There are tons of luau party supplies and decorations on the market, so creating your tropical paradise should be a snap.
First of all, decide on where the luau party location will be. Will it be in your backyard or at a local park? Grab and pen or pencil and imagine the party area and how you would want the area to look. Once you have all your ideas jotted down, you can start planning.
•Palm Trees – You can purchase inflatable palm trees, or make your own by hanging coconuts from existing trees or making some out of construction paper.
•Flowers – Hibiscus and plumeria flowers are the some of the most popular Hawaiian flowers. You can either purchase real flowers or fake flowers, or you can make your own flower decorations out of tissue paper.
•Grass Skirts – Grass skirts are usually something to wear, but they make a great decoration item. Use grass skirts to hang around the edge of a table or around the perimeter of the party area.
•Tiki Torches – These can be found almost anywhere. Check with your local hardware store or all-purpose stores.
•Luau Party Supplies – There is a wide assortment of luau party supplies available online or in your local stores. Both of these themes also come with coordinating luau party items!
Once you have planned out your decorations, it’s time to create your menu. To keep things simple, barbequing is your best option. Shake things up by barbequing kabobs. Add chicken, pork, or beef on a kabob with veggies and fruit such as pineapple. Brew up some fun iced drinks that people of all ages can enjoy. Add an umbrella and a small slice of pineapple to make their drink feel even more tropical!
To keep the luau party fun going, try to incorporate some activities into the party. Piñatas and a hula-hoop or limbo contest are great activities that guests of all ages will love. Also, plan on greeting your luau party guests each with a Hawaiian lei. If you are on a budget, fake leis can be found for fairly cheap and are just as fun! Also request on your luau party invitations that guests come dressed in their best Hawaiian attire.
To complete your tropical paradise, have Hawaiian luau music playing in the background.
