Catering Tips and Tricks - Party Theme Ideas

LUAU PARTY THEME

Bring the magic of Hawaii to your home with a luau party!  These colorful, tropical affairs are a staple of the backyard barbecue, as well as a great way to bring some relief during cold winter months.  With colorful flowers, great food, and wild entertainment, a luau is great fun for all ages.

Decoration & Music

You want to do your best to bring the tropics to your home, so shine things up with tropical plants and flowers everywhere.  Tiki masks can stare in on any space, and tiki torches are a great way to light up the night for an outdoor luau.  Traditional Hawaiian music includes ukulele strumming and mellow melodies--a perfect background for your party.

Meal

The most popular meal options at a luau party usually are grilled foods.  For one, it's an easy way to keep a party out of doors without making a mess of your kitchen, and it's also fairly authentic.  Various sweet glazes for meat can bring some real flavor of the Islands to your cookout, and lend to easy cleanup as well, since you do all of your cooking out on the grill.  Also, try throwing various fruits, like peaches, pineapples, and mangoes on the grill for a hot-and-sweet dessert treat! 

Activities

Of course, no luau is complete without a limbo contest!  Other traditional Hawaiian activities, like fire-juggling, may be a little beyond the learning curve for most of your guests, but if you have the budget, nothing beats live entertainment.  Hula dancing is a fairly safe activity that can be fun for all ages, too, so start planning your tropical luau today!
