Dress Code

Let the birthday girl wear a Hawaii skirt and ask guests to wear tropical attire to the Luau birthday party.

Decorations

The theme colours for the Luau birthday party is blue, green and yellow. So hang lots of balloons and streamers in these colours. Cut palm trees and a sun out of cardboard and decorate the walls. Put big shells, real or fake flowers on tables or on the floor. Bring your plants to one room or one area were most guests will be, creating a tropical look.

Hang fishnets from the ceiling if you are having the party at night. You can also use coloured Christmas lights covered with netting. Put beach balls in the pool, inflatable palm trees, floating rings, inflatable monkeys, hula teddy bears. Have tropical music playing in the background.

Use a light blue table cover and bright paper plates, cups, napkins, mini umbrellas, straws etc. Decorate your table with leaves of roses and seashells. If the kids are old enough put 4-5 big white candles on the table with sand and small seashells inside the candle holder (also put this candles all over the party). For centrepiece make a bouquet of balloons.

Crafts

Luau Grass Skirt
For the kids that are not wearing a grass skirt, let them make one. These grass skirts can be made out of crepe paper strips or strips cut from a large green plastic garbage bag. Or can be made by wrapping a green sheet of crepe around the waist and cutting fringes from the bottom hem up to the waist.

Make Leis
To make leis is rather easy and doesn't need explanation but preparation. Set up a table with flowers so the kids can start making their leis. If the kids are smaller let them make tissue paper flowers
