Luau Party Planning – How to Add a Tropical Flair to Your Next Party

Image a party where you transport your guests to a tropical paradise for the evening. If sea breezes and tropics are what you are looking for, a luau party is the answer. To help you get started in planning the perfect party, here are a few key luau party planning tips.

A Perfect Luau Party

As with all parties, start off by setting the date and location. A fun touch is to include a tropical theme in your invitations. Think grass skirts, bright, colorful tropical flowers or even sea shells for the artwork. Free online services such as Evite make sending and tracking invitations a breeze.

To keep the planning and organizing fun and manageable, for a large luau party, its best ask for volunteers and assign party tasks. For example, one person may focus on music and props, while another may take charge of food preparations.

Tropical Feel

Creating that refreshing and zesty feel of luau is main requirement that you need to fulfill. As a general rule, that ambiance should be attained by using decorations with bright tropical colors.

While a luau party it is usually held outdoors, specifically in a poolside setting, a luau can also be held at the deck or in the backyard.

For added feel of luau atmosphere, colorful cloths and fake grass skirts can be used to decorate tables. Indoor ferns can also be placed in certain locations within the venue. To make miniature totem poles, coconuts can be painted with fun faces and attached to a plank by using hot glue or electric drill.

Even without fresh flowers, colorful artificial leis made from paper will also do. Brightly colored streamers and balloon bouquets can also be used to lend the party a more glitzy look.

Luau Themed Party Favors

Flowers can be arranged in dried coconut shells as table fixtures, but you must set aside enough assortments of flowers for leis and other party favors. Create your own leis, bracelets and anklets as party favors for your guests. You can add some tiny seashells or colorful beads to your leis for a more personalized look.

Tasty Luau Dishes

Luau dishes can be as simple or as exotic as you may wish. At least one or two traditional luau foods may be enough to seal the festive atmosphere, like grilled pork standing as your main course. Adding more luau flavor to your party requires you serve a pile of pineapple, papaya and banana on the table.

Remember that a luau party seeks to accommodate all types of taste buds, so avoid limiting your choice of foods. You can have an assortment of foods and side dishes ranging from usual BBQ items like hot dogs and ribs to fish and veggie meals.

Serving alcoholic cocktails and fruit juices should still be done with creativity to be consistent with the luau theme. In fact, decorating drinks with freshly diced fruits and cute little umbrellas may just be the finishing touches of your grand luau masterpiece.

Say Aloha

So there you go with your luau party theme! Just keep in mind that a fantastic luau relies on tons of your creativity. Inviting more friends in the luau party theme planning may also sharpen the desired effect of the party. It will also foster stronger and warmer ties built on enjoyment on friendship – and that is the aloha spirit.
