Order inexpensive Hawaiian leis online.
A Hawaiian luau party is suitable for an adult's birthday party, corporate event, housewarming or just a summer-themed barbeque. Young adults may enjoy a sexy poolside luau. A retirement luau might have an Elvis impersonator performing. The Hawaiian luau theme is one of the most flexible parties you can choose. Does this Spark an idea?
Invitations
Did you know the U.S. Postal Service will deliver a message in a bottle, as long as it is plastic? Write or print your invitations on six-inch parchment paper and roll it up so it fits into the bottle. Add a little sand or a few seashells for decoration. Place an adhesive address label.
Decor
Pick up a bunch of floral print shirts and keep them by the door in case your guests do not come in costume. Make sure women get flower leis and men get flower shirts. You can order floral streamers, tiki torches and inexpensive rolls of bamboo-style wall coverings from online party stores and party supply vendors.
Food and Beverage
If you are serving alcohol, make sure you have plenty of small umbrellas. Tropical-style mixed drinks should be on the menu. Pineapple upside-down cake is a nice Hawaiian-style alternative to a birthday cake, if it is a birthday party. Fruit kabobs are attractive and festive. If you do not have time to roast an entire pig, you can have a local barbeque restaurant cater the event.
Entertainment
To keep it inexpensive, make an iPod playlist of Elvis Presley songs. You could also purchase a Hawaiian music CD. If your community has a group of Polynesian-style dancers or even hula hoopers, arrange to have them perform.
