Its August and there is one more month of summer.
Why not end it with a smash? Have an Hawaiian luau.
Everyone will be talking about it! Create a tropical theme around your house and then invite everyone you know, including your neighbors.
There is something about a luau that appeals to every type of person and it will be a party people will not soon forget.
How do you go about doing one? Here are some suggestions to get you started.
Tiki Torches No Hawaiian luau is complete with out tiki torches.
They are one of the main ingredients to creating an "island" feel and its not a bad idea to scatter them throughout your front and backyard.
Get the authentic ones made out of bamboo and fill them with citronella oil.
There are actually three fuels you can use to fuel you tiki torch flames but citronella will keep the bugs away (especially the mosquitoes).
Tropical Music Go to the nearest music store and buy a Polynesian CD.
This soothing music really creates a relaxed and Hawaiian style atmosphere.
There is nothing like hearing real islanders play the guitar will singing in that slow melodious tune.
It makes everyone more relaxed and it goes great with the theme of the occasion.
Create a Hut Style Alcohol Bar Create a little hut with grass and tiki masks around it.
Make it look like the bars do on the islands.
You may even want to hire a bartender who looks like a cabana boy to make everyone drinks.
Have an abundance of fruity drinks and mixes.
Wanna go the extra distance? Get those little umbrellas and put those in every drink.
BBQ You have to have a bar-b-q at any Hawaiian style luau.
Get the pit out and fire it up.
The only catch is that since this is a tropical themed party make sure you add Hawaiian seasoning instead of the traditional BBQ seasoning on the meat.
You can roast a pig if you want but I am telling you that it is a lot more work then it looks.
You will spend a whole day preparing it.
Have People Dress Up People love themed parties because they get to dress up.
Why do you think Halloween is so popular with both children and adults? Tell all guests to dress up like they would if they were in Honolulu on vacation.
Have the guys wear Hawaiian shirts, woman wear hulas, and have a nice supply of leis at the entrance.
Decorations Decorate the yard with tropical and beach decor.
Have a small sand pit.
Put some surf boards around in random spots.
Gets some colorful flowers and have them by the patio.
Make the Hawaiian theme come alive!
