Luau Birthday Party Ideas

Decorations and Location

When considering various luau birthday party ideas in regards to location one option stands out, the beach is the perfect location. All of the activities and food can easily be taken to the beach and it sets the mood for a luau. I a beach is not easily accessible, however, you can still host a fantastic luau. Decorate with grass place mats, tiki torches, a fire pit, tropical flowers, pineapples, surf boards, and palm trees. Provide grass skirts and leis for the guests as they arrive to get them in the mood for a luau.

Games and Party Favors

There are several luau birthday party ideas for games and crafts that are good for both children and adults. You can provide paper or real flowers and allow guests to create their own unique leis. They can wear them at the party and have them as a keepsake of the party. There are two different kinds of hula competitions that can liven up the party. For the first you will need a professional hula dancer to give instructions to the guests on how to hula dance. Then have the guests dance a traditional hula. Let the guest of honor choose the best hula dancer. If a professional dancer is not available for instructions, or the guests are too young to be able to enjoy dancing, provide hula hoops. See who can keep their hula hoop up the longest or who can hula the most hoops at once.

Food

Luau birthday party ideas for food should revolve around a traditional luau menu. Provide a buffet of various meats, vegetables, and tropical fruits such as pineapples and mangoes. Add bamboo skewers and an open fire pit for the guests to roast their own combinations. If you are able to dig a large pit you can even cook the iconic whole pig. Decorate the birthday cake as a large pineapple, surf board, tropical flower, or as a hula girl.
