Luau Party Planning GuideIdeas, Invitations, Decorations, Games & Favors
For even more great Luau decorating ideas visit Luau Decorating411.
Luaus are one of our favorite parties here at Party411.com--they are colorful and fun, and the food is fabulous (what more is there to a luau, except cool tropical drinks?). So, if you ask me, I think planning a luau is a great way to have a party. Limbo on down the page and check it out...
Hawaiian Luau Party Invitation
Send a personalized luau invitation from Creations For You. With many bright designs to choose from, you will find one that delights you (and your guests). Sprinkle some tropical confetti in the envelope to add some extra fun.
Prove you're creative and
include a
flower hair comb for
the ladies and a
flower wrist bracelet for
the men in with the invite.
Tell them they must wear the
enclosed pieces on their bodies somewhere, and that you want them to dress for a
luau (be ready for some ugly aloha shirts). That will get them talking long
before the party! If you want a unique invitation check out these great semi-custom caricature invitations. Using art that has already been drawn, we can add a photo face or a caricature face and personalize the message for you! You can use the semi-custom caricature as the design for other fun elements in your Hawaiian luau, including centerpieces, a welcome sign, thank you notes, and much more!
Luau Party Decorations and Party Supplies
A fun luau personalized banner to welcome your guests is a nice touch. Add a CD player with island music to create the perfect atmosphere. If you are really adventurous and can stand the ridicule and neighbor gossip, use pink flamingos to adorn your front yard or line them up the driveway or front sidewalk.
For a very memorable greeting, set up a life-sized luau cutout of you (or your friends!) with a speech bubble welcoming your guests to the party.
If you think you have the time, stand at the door and greet everyone with a lei--this is always a nice gesture and a traditional way of saying aloha. If you are really talented, have a ukulele on hand to serenade your guests as they enter. Maybe put a note on the basket urging them to wear them wherever they please. This will make for fun photo opportunities (you can send them later as a thank you for attending the party).
Scene setters make great decorations for your party. There’s a tropical scene setter, a bamboo scene setter, Tiki pole scene setter, and much more. These things are great and given how big they are they add real value. Or you can do things yourself. Use netting as your backdrop.
You can dress up the rest of the party room with bright garland and ceiling dangles. These area few of our favorites -
Outdoor Luau Decorations for Your Backyard The backyard is just as fun to decorate as the rest of the house, so don't neglect this space if weather permits or if you plan to expand the party outside. Paper lanterns might be a nice touch, whether inside or in the back yard. An inflatable Tiki pole goes well with tribal masks to create the mood. Hang wind chimes and wooden parrots to give a complete background to your setting. Shells, sand and perhaps a mini-pool is order here as well. If you really want to go crazy, place metallic palm trees and wooden totem poles around the yard/patio. Candle votives are a must, but don't forget the citronella candles. Luau Paper Goods and Table Decorations
Use beachcomber hats (multi-color or plain) upside down to hold different snacks and munchies. Throw a mixture of fabulous foil-wrapped chocolate fish and tropical confetti across your table. Your guests will really WOW at your thoughtfulness and carry-through. Provide tropical toothpicks as a final touch. Use baskets on each buffet to hold luncheon napkins, Tiki Island plates, cutlery and cups. Other ideas include adding some luau lights, luau salt and pepper shakers, and hula girl taper candles. Don't forget to add confetti and more foil wrapped chocolate fish. Make sure to use tropical colors for your tablecloths--yellow, green, hot pink, melon, orange and bright blue. Add your own seashells, maracas and sand. Another great ideas is to use piñatas as your centerpieces or if you prefer, hang them above the tables. For tropical themed paper products, cutlery and cups choose from a great selection of designs - If you are assigning seats or if you want to give out nametags (and this is wise when you have a lot of friends that don't know each other), here's a thought: thongs. You know, the rubber kind you wear on your feet with a flower in the center? They make for a great nametag or seating card. Just write the name in magic marker, add a 25¢ chain or ribbon (necklace) and voila--a humorous way to get people talking about your creativity and their thongs. Line them up alphabetically on a table near the entrance. Another thought on this is to use starfish or sand dollars and write the name of the person on it. For name tags, string some ribbon around it. Luau Party Bar
Serve your drinks in fantastic luau themed glasses. You have lots of choices, these are the ones we think are super fabulous - You can dress up your own glasses with tropical straws and cocktail umbrellas. You may want to add some tropical lights around the bar as well. The bar is a good place to put your coconut band.
Luau Party Music, Luau Party Games and Luau Party Activities Luau Party Music. Good luau music not only sets the mood but you learn to do the Hula or the Limbo. Luau Party Games and Luau Party Activities. The Game Girl has the “rules” for Limbo, Mai Tai Limbo, The Tacky Tourist Relay and the Hula Hoop Spin Off. Just visit our luau game page. Or there is always fun to be had with a piñata. Luau Party Favors
So pass out the wearables and get everyone ready to party! These will work for anyone - Your guests can't help but have a great time in a pair of fun glasses and a glow necklace! The best part is that these fun wearables double as great party favors.
If you want a more traditional party favor to hand out as your guests leave, try a personalized luau candy bar wrapper or personalized luau candy or mint tin from Creations for You! It is a sweet way to thank all of your guests for coming. Though I am sure everyone will be thanking you for the great time they had at your luau party!
