Whether you plan to throw a Luau Tropical party at the beach, at your home or at the pool, think tropical. The clothes, the food and the decoration should all have a Hawaiian theme. Remember, a carefree, colorful and fun-filled Luau party is always enjoyed by everyone.

The first thing that comes to mind when planning a Luau party is the dress code. Pull out your favorite Hawaiian attires and persuade your guests to do the same. Also keep in mind that a Luau party just cannot be complete without the Leis and Grass Skirts. Real Leis can be expensive, so it might be wiser to get silk flower Leis from your local stores.

As for the food, if you must serve traditional Hawaiian luau food, go for dishes like Poi, Kalua pig, Lomi salmon, chicken long rice and Haupia. You can also serve salted macadamia nuts, pineapple and other tropical fruits. Drinks can include Hawaiian iced tea, pineapple juice, pina coladas, daiquiris, and mai tais.

What’s a real Luau party without some Hawaiian music? If you don’t have some cool Hawaiian tunes to play, you can get them from a music store or if you plan to hire a DJ, ask him to bring lots of Hawaiian music CDs.

If you have got kids in your guest-list, don’t forget to plan some fun Luau games for them like “Hula-la”, a race to get dressed or undressed or “pass the coconut”, similar to “hot potato”. Even adults find these games really enjoyable.
