ALOHA! You too can have a fun and memorable tropical luau themed party. Whether it is at the beach or a swimming pool, a luau party can be colorful and fun. Staff members should be dressed in grass skirts with flowers in their hair and ask guests to wear their most colorful tropical shirt. How fun would it be for the guest of honor to arrive on a decorated boat or raft while you play tribal music. Now that's a mood setter! So on to the party ideas... |

Present arriving guests with a Hawaiian lei. Cover tables with large tropical leaves add shell garland to the edges. Use bamboo everywhere, and raffia to tie everything down. Make a volcano centerpiece out of a paper mache add baking soda and vinegar for lava. Tropical music is a must. After dark have a bonfire. |

Slice a pineapple and serve it with leaves still attached. Food can be served in coconuts and melons. Pina coladas are a favorite; virgin or alcoholic, or you could serve tropical smoothies. Don't forget to add paper umbrellas.

Activities: Have an air surfing contest, ask contestants to demonstrate their best form...a great photo op! How low can you go? Hold a limbo contest. Have guests play coconut bowling, by rolling a coconut to knock down pineapples. Water balloon fights are always fun and can cool a crowd down quickly. Make tribal masks and then award prizes for the best. Hire someone to perform then give a hula lesson, then dance the night away. |
