subject: Throw A Luau To Remember With The Perfect Luau Party Supplies [print this page] When in Hawaii a luau is easyWhen in Hawaii a luau is easy. Bringing the Hawaiian luau to your backyard is a very different matter. Still, it will all be great fun if the proper luau party supplies are chosen. Start with all types of Hawaiian decorations, a tropical centerpiece for the buffet table, and lots of fruits and flowers. And don't forget the leis.
How you decorate the area will make all the difference so use lanterns, torches and other tropical touches. A warm climate will make things easier, but some people may need to have their luau indoors. Props inside can turn a living room into a luau atmosphere, too. A scene setter can make this happen. So on your list of luau party supplies, be sure to include a scene setter, which is basically a wall mural, of a tropical beach scene. Your guests will love it. Drinks that are a feast for the eye as well as the palate will cause a wonderful stir at any party.
Once the group starts to really enjoy themselves someone may want to play limbo. Or they may enjoy a hula contest. Award gifts to the winners like a hula outfit, regardless to their age or sex. Don't let the party drag, always have an activity ready to go. And at some point in the party, the host and hostess should give out Hawaiian leis, placing them around their guests necks, and thanking them for coming.
A standard at a really luau is the pig on a spit with an apple in its mouth. While you may not want to roast a whole pig, you can have barbeque pork ribs with a wonderful tropics inspired sauce to stay in to luau atmosphere. There should be several different side dishes, and a vegetarian meal choice for those guests who do not eat meat.
Get creative with lovely tropical desserts, perhaps using fruit shells as bowls. Pineapples and watermelons are great for this. They can hold chunks of pineapple and melon, or grapes and berries, as well.
