My friend has had a luau-themed pool party for her daughter's birthday for the past several years. When she heard that I was planning a Polynesian-themed wedding reception, she asked what she can do to make her party a little different from last year or the years before.
Here are a few ideas anyone can use:
- Greet each guest with a lei and a kiss... just like they do in Hawaii.
- Most kids like to do an arts & crafts project that they can take home. This doubles as a party favor. Let the kids make a "tiki statue" by decorating an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll.
- Buy some hula skirts for a hula dance contest. Be sure to give prizes to the top winners. OR
- Hire someone to give your guests a hula lesson.
- Limbo (my friend already does this one)
- Bake palm tree-shaped cookies.
Decorations:
- Tiki torches
- Hang an "Aloha" sign at the entrance
- Floating flowers in the pool or in a big glass bowl
- Pineapples and coconuts all around the dining areas
- Tealights or votive candles surrounded by seashells and flowers
- Hang paper lanterns
- Every child's birthday party should have balloons!
- Since my friend throws this type of party every year, she could invest in some items that she can use over and over, like plastic coconut cups.
