Cooking Directions

1. Send Your Tiki Luau Invitation

Personalize Your Party! Send a fantastic invitation that will get your guests excited to come and party Hawaiian style! A Personalized Tiki Luau Invitation with an island feel that features a Tiki is perfect.
Or go with a simpler invite. These fun and easy Luau Invitations can be filled in with all the party info and dropped in the mail.
To add excitement to your invitation mail it in a padded envelope with a Plastic Lei! That will really wow everyone!
Don't forget to convey to your guests on the invites that they must come in tropical party clothes or no admittance!

2. Decorate Your Home with Tiki Party Supplies

Greet guests to your Hawaiian luau party with a Custom Tiki Welcome Banner and a few Tiki Balloon Lawn Signs flanking the walk or drive!
Line the front walk with lit Tiki Torches for a fantastic entrance. You can use more torches to define the outdoor party space by placing them around the perimeter of the yard.
Use Tiki Pole Scene Setters to decorate your walls and give the space some Polynesian flair! If your area is big enough consider a Beach Scene Setter to create an island vibe.
Three words - Inflatable Palm Tree! What can't you decorate with these? Place a few at the entrance, string your banner up between them, or use them to flank the buffet. Your guests might have a fun time pummeling each other with them by the end of the night.
Tiki Lantern Garland is perfect for the outside. Combine it with a string of white twinkle lights and you have fun mood lighting!
Tiki Tiki! Add more Tiki fun to your walls and doorways with a 7' Tiki Totem Pole.

3. Set Your Table with Tiki Paper Goods

Keep it simple with fun Tiki Time Paper Goods; from matching plates, napkins, cups, trays and even table covers you will find everything you need.
Decorate the buffet with a Raffia Table Skirt, it will be one of your WOW decorations!
An Inflatable Tiki Cooler at the end of the buffet filled with ice and bottled drinks is the perfect way for your guests to grab a beverage.
Accent your tables with lighting by using Bamboo Torch Candles and Tiki Candles as centerpieces. Alternate them on the tables for a great look. Can't have fire on the tables? Use Tiki Luau Balloons instead.

4. Don't forget the Tiki Themed Bar!

If you don't have a "bar" to use, just set up a high table and cover it with a tablecloth. Decorate it with Tiki theme beverage napkins from your paper goods and a few Tiki Mask Decorations.
Wrap the bar area in Tiki Island Lights to attract all of your guests.
The most important part of the bar is the drinks of course! Tiki drinks are usually rum-based frozen concoctions served in fun Tiki glasses like these 16 Oz Neon Tiki Cups.
You can make a batch of drinks and let guests serve themselves from a Light Up Pitcher too!
If you have a hard partying group consider getting them this fun Tiki Time Shot Glass Set. Or make it really easy on them and hand out Flower Lei with an attached Shot Glass!
You can also serve beer with Personalized Tiki Luau Beer Bottle Labels.
You should also offer non-alcoholic drink for your guests. Bottled water is an acceptable option, especially with Personalized Tiki Water Bottle Labels.

5. Arrange Fun Hawaiian Luau Party Games

Need more ideas for your Hawaiin Luau? I would start with a hula dance contest. There's sure to be a picture or two there!
A Tiki Pinata is a perfect luau party activity!
Have someone set up a face painting area and give everyone a fun Tiki face!
Photo Ops are a great way to really capture your guests in the party moment!
- Male Luau Photo Op

Put out Personalized Tiki Cameras to capture all of the action!

6. Hand Out Favors to Say "Thanks for coming!"

These are our favorite luau wearables, hand them out to guests during the party -
- Tiki Mask Glasses
- Glow Luau Literopes
Another fun idea is to give out small packages of drink mixes. Add a custom label thanking your guests for attending.
Personalize Your Party! A great way to send them off is with a sweet message on Personalized Tiki Luau Mint Tin.
Guests will also love a sweet message on a Personalized Tiki Luau Candy Bar wrapper.

These are all great ways to thank your guests for coming, of course they might be thanking you for throwing such a great tiki party
