The Hawaiian party theme or the "Luau" party typically centres around the "Surf Shack!" Plenty of singing, dancing and drinking cocktails are expected.
A bright sunny day is ideal so make sure you check the whether in the days before your party.
The luau party is best held on the beach but it is not essential, you can hold it in your back garden or a local park also.
You should send out your invitations on a grass skirt or cocktail design.
The ladies will be expected to wear a grass skirt (just try stopping them), a Lei is a flowery necklace that you can make or buy and sandals.
The guys will be wearing Hawaiian print design shirts, shorts and sandals or flip flops.
You should get some inflatable pine trees which can be rented or bought and get some surf boards to prop up against the walls.
For food, you need to get plenty of fresh fruit; oranges, melons, pineapples, bananas, peaches, grapes and cherry's etc.
Keep them all in bowls and allow your guests to make their own fruit stick with skewers.
You should hire a professional cocktail maker or otherwise provide instructions for your guests to make their own, this will be fun for people who are not used to making cocktails.
Provide instructions for drinks like the "Aloha" and the "Hawaiian Heartbreaker.
" Ska music is fitting for the Hawaiian party theme but Hawaii has many great musicians which are disproportionate to the size of their population.
Finally, a Luau party would not be complete without the limbo, so make sure you play that.
