It’s summer and what better way to enjoy the HOT weather than to get your friends and family together for a luau! It’s sunny and the kids are on school vacation, so have FUN with it!

It’s Time for a Luau

iParty has a great selection of invitations to get your Tropical Party under way. What are you waiting for? Invite the guests and start planning your luau! Have everyone get in the spirit by dressing in beach attire or tropical print shirts. Supply leis for each guest as they arrive as an “E komo mai” (welcome in Hawaiian) gesture.

Fun in the Sun

Whether your party is indoors or out, transform your space into a Tiki Lounge or an Island Beach Party by using scene setters. iParty has tons of great decorations to use, so get creative! Make a tiki bar, add some palm trees, a cloth parrot and hula scene setters and get ready to sip Daiquiris by the pool. Set up a wading pool filled with ice and put canned and bottled beverages in there to keep cool. Set up sand boxes and the kids can have sand castle contests. Is the party lasting into the night hours? Set up citronella table candles and tiki torches to keep the bugs and mosquitoes away.

Tiki Bar

iParty has grass and tiki huts available. Or you can try and do-it-yourself by attaching a raffia table skirt to a table and place a large beach umbrella covered in artificial grass over it to create a stand. Use your imagination and get your tiki bar stocked and ready with fruit smoothies, pina coladas and daiquiris in coconut cups for the guests to enjoy!

Party Supplies

iParty has many options ranging from tropical, surfing, tiki lounge, birds of paradise, island party and so much more for themed paper goods. Pair them up with solid, vibrant colored cutlery, napkins and cups. Decorate the table with a raffia table skirt, glass net candles, and a wooden tribal mask or other tropical themed centerpieces to simulate a true Island Party.

Beach Party FUN

Get people interacting and having FUN by setting up a Limbo contest. The last one standing gets a prize! As another FUN option, iParty has great island themed piñatas. Blow up beach balls and have guests toss them around the party. Set up arts and crafts for the kids to decorate their own sun visors. Have FUN and relax at your beach party!

Time to Eat!

Luaus are great to have a traditional pig roast with pineapple, other tropical fruits and rice with vegetables. If that’s not your thing, grill up chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs with corn on the cob and fruit, pasta and potato salads. Spice up the food and decorate it with festive food picks to add a bit of color.

Selection varies by store. Call store for details.
