Big Island Luau Shows Will Make A Splash At Your Next Pool Party

There is something very different and special about Big Island Luau shows when added to a party event. Best of all with proper planning and some imagination and creativity local resources can be turned into a party that friends and family will never forget. Start out with the luau party invitations. Get Hawaiian leis for the guests. Use postcards with beach scenes as the invitations and slip the postcards and leis in a large mailing envelop. Get several inflatable palm trees and on the day of the party put one in the front yard or at the front door to signal guests that they have the right address.

The ambiance of the Big Island luau shows is easy to create for the guests. For a backyard party set several of the inflatable palm trees around. Set up one or two small tents or even patio umbrellas and a table; decorate it with silk flowers and palm leaves to mimic a tiki bar. This is where the cocktails and mocktails can be made. Coconuts, pineapples, mangoes, guavas, and other tropical fruits can be displayed around the tables and bar. The drinks whether cocktails or mocktails should be served in tall glasses or glasses that are shaped like coconuts or oranges and there just must be little drink umbrellas and straws for that Big Island look.

Greeting guests with a colorful Hawaiian lei, whether plastic or from a local florist, will excite guests as they arrive. Have Hawaiian music playing in the background for the whole party. This will add to the atmosphere. While planning the party check with local dance studios and find one with students who will perform a hula and / or other Hawaiian dances. As the evening wears on, light party torches and announce the dancers. The guests will be delighted at the real life luau show. Check with a few dance instructors in the area and find one that will give an hour of hula lessons to the guests. Be sure to have a camera or video camera on hand for these photo opps. This will be the highlight of the party.

Luaus on the Big Island always include a whole pig roasted. Well, roasting a whole pig may be more than is reasonable for the party so bring out the grill and grill up some pork ribs with grilled pineapple. Have side dishes that are Hawaiian recipes and have lots or tropical fruit in big bowls surrounded by whole pineapples and coconuts. And don't forget the grass skirts for guests to wear and exchange as they learn to dance the Hula.
