Decorate tables with brightly colored floral and solid tablecloths and use raffia table skirting.

-
Wrap plastic silverware in the napkin and secure with tropical flower.
-
Hang paper lanterns and an inflatable parrot in the trees.
-
Play "Island" music. Drew's Hawaiian Luau cd is the perfect addition to a luau party!
-
Serve teriyaki chicken and pork kabobs, and tropical smoothies. (easy recipe: blend bananas, strawberries, plain yogurt, milk and ice... TIP: you can also use ice cream to make it sweeter. Garnish drinks with pineapple chunks, cherries, strawberries on little plastic swords and to finish, an umbrella straw .
-
Serve fruit kabobs. Cut up bananas, starfruit, melon, mango, and kiwi. Add grapes and strawberries. Arrange on wooden skewers. You can either drizzle fruit with melted chocolate or make a fruit dip out of marshmallow cream and cream cheese. Display on brightly colored platter.
-
For place cards or invitations: Find out guest's Hawaiian name! See Hawaiian name translation Just type in their name and click "Find My Name!". Then, on the place card, write in the guest's name and then their Hawaiian name underneath. Then just decorate the card with Hawaiian stickers or drawings (palm trees, parrots, pineapple, hula girl, etc.). Your guest will get a kick out of it and it's a fun way to break the ice!
