If you\u2019re looking for ways to host a luau party or Hawaiian-themed bash, you\u2019re in the right place. A luau party is one of the most fun \u2014 and delicious! \u2014 events you can host. With tasty foods, gorgeous floral leis, and shady palm trees, this party theme has everything you need for a fun and memorable event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, we\u2019ll offer tips for planning your luau party. You&#8217;ll find ideas from traditional food to party decor to stunning invites that will have your guests eagerly awaiting the big day. After all, it\u2019s tiki time!<\/span><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><b>Luau Party Decor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s nothing quite as fun as decorating for a theme party. If you\u2019re hosting a tiki party or a Hawaiian luau event, decorating is key to setting the mood. Luau party decor includes fun elements like flamingos, palm trees, tiki torches, and floral leis. Start by deciding where and how you want to host your luau party. You can make this theme work for a birthday pool party, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/backyard-wedding-reception\">backyard wedding reception<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, bridal shower BBQ, or sweet baby shower event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve decided what type of tropical luau party you\u2019re hosting, it\u2019s time to start decorating. For a pool party, beach balls, flamingo floaties, and inflatable palm trees all add to the atmosphere. Tropical flowers and tropical leaves transport guests to an exotic locale, making your event feel like an escape. For a fancier shindig or evening soir\u00e9e, you can add string lights and paper lanterns to create an inviting setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other luau party decorations include seashells and surfboards. Look for table covers that feature tropical elements like palm trees or flowers from Hawaii. Dot the table with seashells and starfish decor for a beachy vibe. You can even use a surfboard as a table by propping it up on two small end tables. Alternatively, a surfboard makes a great prop if you\u2019re having a photo booth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say aloha to each guest at the door with a flower lei to make them feel like they\u2019re really on the island. Use leis made of real flowers if you\u2019re hosting an upscale event or stick to faux silk versions for a more casual (and affordable) option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also get guests in on the fun by setting a dress code. Encourage guests to sport their best Hawaiian shirt or vacation attire. Hula skirts, grass skirts, and flip-flops are perfect for tropical parties. Floral dresses and brightly colored suits are a great way for guests to get in the spirit of a more formal luau event. Not only is dressing up fun but the themed attire also makes party games like the limbo even more memorable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Luau Party Food<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9669\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-toasting-with-fruity-drinks.jpg\" alt=\"luau party: friends toasting at a luau\" width=\"850\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-toasting-with-fruity-drinks.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-toasting-with-fruity-drinks-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-toasting-with-fruity-drinks-850x513.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-toasting-with-fruity-drinks-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re roasting a full pig in an in-ground pit or keeping things lighter, having themed food is key to pulling off this type of event. Fortunately, planning a delicious luau meal doesn\u2019t have to be a massive undertaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, luaus include foods like <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaiimagazine.com\/recipe-make-hawaii-style-ahi-poke-wherever-you-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poke<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a raw fish dish), <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/poi-recipe-1910506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poi<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a starchy paste made from taro), and <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.favfamilyrecipes.com\/haupia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">haupia<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a sweet coconut dessert). The meal typically centers around a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/kalua-pork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kalua pig<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is a pig roasted in an underground oven. If you don\u2019t have an underground oven in your backyard (who does?!), don\u2019t sweat it. You can simply roast the pig in your home oven or skip it altogether and choose other tasty meats or a vegan menu. There are plenty of less traditional interpretations of luau food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greet guests with a light appetizer like fried pita crisps and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingchanneltv.com\/recipes\/tiffani-thiessen\/tropical-salsa-3253997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>tropical salsa<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with island favorites like mangoes and pineapple. You can also serve up grilled fruit skewers featuring pineapple and peaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the main course, surf and turf hits the mark if you\u2019re going for a fancy luau theme. Grilled shrimp is a great main dish, and a delicious complement for grilled pineapple. You can whip it up as part of a heartier rice dish or serve it on a skewer instead. Other main dish ideas include poke bowls and slow cooker pulled pork. For an afternoon event, you can stick to finger food like pulled pork sandwiches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serve your food on plates featuring hibiscus flowers or use real banana leaves and palm leaves to spice up your serving trays. Wooden tableware adds a natural touch, and bamboo options bring a touch of the Polynesian islands to your celebration. For a child\u2019s birthday party, you can use napkins and paper plates featuring the beloved Polynesian character Moana. For an adult event, look for serving ware with flowers, bright colors, and other tropical elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use diced pieces of fruit to adorn the trays and serving dishes. An uncut pineapple makes a perfect centerpiece, and a raffia skirt is ideal as a table skirt or decorative addition to a tiki bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget the drinks! After all, a luau party just isn\u2019t the same without a blended beverage topped with an umbrella. Some drink ideas include mai tais, daiquiris, and rum slushies. Serve drinks in coconut cups and garnish with fresh fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Luau Party Invites<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know what type of event you\u2019re hosting and who\u2019s made the guest list, you can pick out stunning invitations to get guests excited about the big day.
