The Hawaiian party theme would work well being held on the beach, but could also be in a park or in your back garden. The centre point of the party should be your surf shack or beach bar, which ever one you choose.

The Hawaiian theme party is traditionally all about the music, dancing and eating nice food.

The costume is extremely important for this theme. The ladies have it best with floral armbands, grass skirts, lei necklaces, coconut bra’s, sandals and flowers in their hair.

The ladies have the better outfit for this theme i’m afraid to say. Guys should wear that awful Hawaiian print t-shirt from their wardrobe with matching shorts. I would also go with flip flops or sandals, sunglasses and possibly a flowery necklace.

Consider some or all of the following ideas for your setting; limbo stick (a great game to play when everybody is drunk), hula hoops, sea shells and coconuts scattered around and also beach balls and net.

For food, I would consider creating a tropical fruit centrepiece and allow your guests to skewer or tooth pick their own selection from grapes, cherries, mangos, pineapples, melon and peaches etc. I would also look into making some seafood delicacies (budget dependant).

The drinks are what the Hawaiian party theme is really about. Consider hiring out a cocktail maker to whip up Hawaiian Heartbreakers or Castaways. Otherwise you can provide instructions for your guests to make their own…great fun! Don’t forget the little umbrellas to top it off.

Finally for the music I would go with Ska, though it is not to everybody’s taste. Have an emergency supply of present hits just incase. Though I would look into getting some genuine Hawaiian folk music. Hawaii has a proud musical heritage that unfortunately isn’t very widely known.
