Party Hawaiian!

Make your next beach or pool party a celebration to remember...with cool ideas for Hawaiian luau-themed fun.

Here are some easy ideas for creating your own custom invitations - as well as fun activities, decorations, delicious food ideas and links to recipes:

Hawaiian Luau Party Invitations:

Do-it-yourself invitations may include any kind of tropical clip art, or photos of a hula dancer, surfer, tropical flowers, a lei, a volcanoe, or a map of Hawaii.
Inside, include party details in both English and Hawaiian.
Be sure to ask guests to wear Hawaiian shirts!

Hawaiian Luau Party Decorations:

See if your local florist carries inexpensively-priced orchids (now available in most big flower markets), or ask about tropical flowers such as Bird of Paradise, Hybiscus, Red Anthurium, or Red Ginger flowers.
surf boards (borrow one from a surfer friend, or create one from inexpensive styrofoam board)
palm fronds (Tip: you can also make your own palm trees by cutting out palm fronds from green construction paper, then gluing or taping them to cardboard tubes.)
pineapples and coconuts

Hawaiian Luau Party Games & Activities:

Hula Hoop Contest - Award prizes for the person who can hula the longest, and for the person who can successfully hula the most hoops. (Tip: make inexpensive hula skirts from green drawstring trash bags. Cut the bottom off, then make thin slits to create the hula grass skirt. The draw strings allows for one-size-fits-all.)

Pineapple Bowling - So silly it gives adults and kids the giggles as they bowl with coconuts to knock down pineapple "pins". Awards to the party-goer with the best aim.
Limbo Contest - How low can you go?
The Big Kahuna - The award goes to the party animal who arrives with the most colorful Hawaiian shirt.
