If you routinely host events at your home, you may find yourself running out of ways to make the evening fun.
You can have great music and delicious food, but after awhile, it may feel as if something is missing.
If you have an event planned in your near future, consider creating a Hawaiian theme.
This is easy to do, can be inexpensive, and will odelight everyone in attendance.
Best of all, if you are not already living in a tropical environment, it will transport you and your guests to a place where you feel comfortable relaxing and letting your hair down.
Even if you can not afford Poipu vacation rentals, or you will never be rich enough to own a Kauai vacation home, you can reinvent the feel f the islands, right in your backyard.
The place to begin when planning a backyard luau is with the décor.
If you already have a pool at your home, you are in great shape.
If not, there are creative ways to make do, and you will still have the opportunity to bring the feeling of the ocean to the party.
If you are hosting an evening event, you will want to string lights around the patio area and the portions of your yard open to guests.
Simple white lights is usually enough to add elegance and splendor.
Next, bring in some tropical foliage.
It may be difficult to keep the garden filled with plants of the tropics throughout the season, but you could still pick up a few palm fronds, or bouquets of colorful cut flowers for the party.
Tiki torches are a great addition to any yard and will add a festive flair when glowing throughout the evening.
Lastly, check out your area party supply store for Hawaiian paper cut-outs and Hawaiian themed streamers.
There is probably a variety of items that will fit with the theme of the party, so have fun when shopping.
Next, plan your menu.
If no one is up for roasting a whole pig, choose alternative foods that remind you of the tropics.
Frosty drinks like pina coladas are popular in Hawaiian resorts, and having a salad of cut of tropical fruits like pineapple and coconut is great for guests to nibble on.
You can also add a tropical flair to grilled items if you are hosting a cookout.
Simple tropical salsas and garnishes added to popular favorites like burgers and chicken make ordinary meals feel like they are straight from the islands.
Finally, do not forget dessert.
You can serve favorites like Hawaiian salad, filled with whipped cream and pineapple, or you can create a specially made cake for the occasion.
Lastly, be sure to dress the part.
Invite guests to wear Hawaiian garb like brightly colored shirts and swimsuits.
You can also include a few grass skirts and coconut bikini tops for fun.
These costumes are a great chance for guests to dress up for photos.
A real vacation to Hawaii would be spent in comfortable clothing that is cool and colorful, so keep that in mind when dressing for your event.
With a little creativity, you can have the best tropical themed party ever.
