Easy Steps On How To Plan A Traditional Luau
A luau is a traditional party of the people in Hawaii, and celebrated with lots of food and music. The word "luau " is originally the term for the Taro leaves that are usually used to wrap a traditional Hawaiian dish called laulau, which came at a much later date. There are various kinds of luaus that are very important in Hawaii's tradition. Part of celebrating a luau is the traditional pork or Kalua Pig dish.
If you are planning a Luau and don't know where to start, here are the easy steps you can follow:
A luau would work best for a great number or attending guests. Start sending out invitations to the people you want to invite. Today, there are so many pre-printed invitations you can find at your local party store in luau theme. Or, you can check out the net for free templates that you can use for your invites.
Another mood-setting is to encourage the guests to come in their Aloha attire. You can write that dress code down on the invitations so that your guests can prepare in advance.
Choose the right menu. You may hire a luau catering company to cater Hawaiian foods in your party. There are lots of Hawaiian catering services that Hawaiian catererscan offer. Some of the most popular dishes for luaus are of course the roasted kalua pig, poi, poke, sweet potatoes, teriyaki chicken, and pork kabobs.
Plan for fun activities and entertainment. You can hire a Hula or Tahitian group who will entertain your guests. The guests may then join the group in dancing the traditional Hawaiian/Tahitian dance. This idea will make the party alive and a great way to integrate a Hawaiian tradition.
Decorate the venue with fresh flowers, coconuts, and pineapples.
If you wish to give out party favors, consider flower leis or shell leis.
