Create a Realistic Hawaiian-Themed Party with Luau Decorations

Hawaiian luaus and Hawaiian-inspired parties are great ideas not just for adult gatherings but also even for kiddie and teen events. With a Hawaiian-inspired theme, you and your guests can be surrounded with life, color and nature, thus, adding fun and excitement to your party. Of course, any Hawaiian-inspired party is not complete without the right Hawaiian decorations. Here are some great ideas that can ensure you organized the best luau party in town.

To start off with the right Hawaiian decorations, you must have resourcefulness, creativity and adventure. This is because you can spend very little money decorating your party venue and still come out with the best luau-inspired gathering in the neighborhood.

One of the necessities for your luau decorations are palm trees. If you do not want to purchase (or borrow) real live potted palm trees, then you might as well settle for inflatable ones. They can be easily bought from party theme stores. You can purchase a few of these and place a couple near the venue entrance and also scatter some about the entire venue.

Another great idea of Hawaiian decorations is seashells. You can purchase medium-sized sea shells and they can serve many purposes in your party. You can place the medium to big sized ones as centerpieces; placing some fresh or artificial flowers in them or using them as containers for candies and finger foods. The smaller sea shells can be used as decors (hung on walls or placed on counters and tabletops). Sea shells can also be used as candle holders if you plan to hold your Hawaiian party at night. You can also hang up a fishnet over one side of the venue or ceiling and attach some seashells and tropical-inspired cut-outs on the net for more color.

There is no better way to welcome your guests than by hanging leis or flower garlands over their necks. Inform guests and visitors of your party theme so they can also dress appropriately. People can come wearing comfy shorts and colorful tops while donning on their favorite pair of flip flops.

Tables can be covered in several ways. To go with the Hawaiian luaus theme, some tables can be covered with tropical-inspired tablecloths. Make sure you choose them in lively and vibrant colors like green, yellow and pink. If you do not want to use traditional tablecloths and want to go for something better, you can have some "grass skirt" tablecloths specially-made for your party.

Your luau decorations would not be complete without proper lighting. You can recycle your old Christmas lights and place them all around the venue. Aside from these lights, you can also purchase a few tiki torches to give a full tropic Hawaiian feel to the venue. You might also want to have a small bonfire if the party is to be done outdoors.

If you have a swimming pool at the venue, then you can make some tropical-inspired floats on the water; you can even let real flowers float on the pool water for complete Hawaiian decorations. Such luau decorations are also great for small ponds.

Lastly, be sure that coconuts and pineapples have a place in your Hawaiian party. You can serve chilled drinks in coconut husks and serve pineapples in a fruit plate or as an ingredient in the kebab. You can also, of course, use pineapples and coconuts as decorations.
