How to Throw a Party Like a Pro


The Luau Party


Categories: Party Food Recipes, Theme Parties

Hawaiian Fun!

A luau party is centered around the culture of Hawaii, home of pineapple-filled dishes and grass skirts. This is a popular party theme because of the multitude of activities that can be put out, and the lively atmosphere that goes with these activities.

A barbecue is a common component in a luau. However, this can be skipped in favor of catered barbecue dishes that come in wooden containers or banana leaves. Flowers must be abundant, and available for weaving as hair ornaments or necklaces (leis).

In fact this could be a nice welcome activity for guests: Weave-your-own-Flower-Garland.

Drinks must be festive. Non-alcoholic ones should be more abundant than alcoholic ones, because any non-alcoholic fruit punch may be modified to a cocktail drink just by adding liquor, for those who want it.
