Hawaiian Party Theme
Invitation Idea
Make invitations that look like surfboards. Use floral
printed scrapbook paper and then glue a white strip down
the center of the surfboard. On the back write the
information for the party. Be sure to tell the guests to
come in attire they can get wet in.
Decoration Ideas
Decorate with flowers, paper lanterns, foliage and
streamers. Set up some beach umbrellas especially over
the food and craft areas. Make long garlands of flowers
and put them down the center of tables as table runners.
Tape grass skirts to the edge of tables. Play Hawaiian
music in the background. Put Tiki torches in the ground.
Craft Ideas
Have the kids make their own leis. Provide them with
string, silk flowers and colorful straws cut into about
one inch pieces. Show them how to alternate between the
flowers and the straws.
Game Ideas
Have a hula-hoop contest give the guest who can hula hoop
the longest gets a prize. Have the kids divide into twos
give each group a beach towel, and then have them pass a
water balloon around. Turn on a sprinkler that shoots
water up and have a limbo competition. Hold the pole over
the sprinkler and guests have to go under the pole (make
sure no one will trip on the hose).
Food Ideas
Make fruit kabobs with tropical fruits such as pineapple
and oranges. For a drink have smoothies. Serve in coconut
cups with umbrellas. Make a cake that looks like the
ocean or make a volcano cake (recipes for a volcano cake
can easily be found online).
