Tiki Time Hawaiian Luau




 
Tiki is a fun twist on a traditional Hawaiian luau theme party. This theme is full of Polynesian flair. Celebrate the easy way with a step-by-step Just Add Guests™ Tiki party!

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 Personalized 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!

Here are some fun tiki theme wording ideas that you can use on your invites, or even a party banner -

  • Join us for a Tiki-rific 40th Birthday Party!
  • The Big Kahuna commands "Tiki Time!" Dress code is Tacky Tourist (go ahead, show us your worst!)
  • Don't anger the Tiki God! Come party with us for Jim's 60th birthday!
  • Join us for a "Lei'd Back" Tiki Party!
  • Cleveland Foundation Annual Fundraiser Tiki Party! Join us for a tropical night of exceptional food, drinks and fun!
  • The torches are lit, the theme is set... we're having a luau you'll never forget!
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 a grass table skirt and set out some Tiki theme beverage napkins from your paper goods.
  • Rent a slushie machine and serve frozen drinks with tiny umbrellas! If you can't swing a drink machine, buy the tubs of pre-mixed margaritas and then serve the drinks in fantastic luau themed glasses.
  • Other great drinks for a tiki party:
    • Pina Colada
    • Blue Hawaiian
    • Mai Tai
    • Fruit Daiquiris 
    • Rum Punch
  • You should also offer non-alcoholic drink for your guests. Bottled water is an acceptable option, especially with Personalized Tiki Water Bottle Labels. Cans of Tahitian Treat Fruit Punch are a must!
  • If you have a hard partying group consider getting them this fun Flower Lei with an attached Shot Glass!
