A great thing in the summer is having a birthday party outside, whether its in your backyard, on the beach, or in a park, all of these are great places. But, the hard part is the planning, you want a theme, and decorations and this and that and by the end of all this your head is spinning! No one wants to dread planning a party for their child, right?
Well a great and easy thing to do is plan a Kids Luau Party! Not only is this fun for the kids but its perfect for the parents too. I don’t know about you but 1 more Spiderman party or Hanna Montana theme and I will likely jump out the top floor window! This way, you are giving your child and all the guests a great theme without doing the same kid themes over and over. Spare yourself and the other parents the suffering!
On top of having a non-typical theme for a kid’s party, it opens things up for easy decorations and loads of activities. The obvious things come to mind straight away. Having a limbo game just seems essential, kids will love it, parents will have fun being goofy and watching others do so, its fun all around. Adding some simple but atmosphere producing luau music is also something you should do, its great and CDs for this stuff is super cheap. Decorations for the party can be easily found, anything with a tropical Hawaiian theme is all you need. Grab some fake palm trees, put out some Tiki torches. Look at your local party store for other simple but fun additions.
If you really want to go all out for the kids, you can pass out leis and grass skirts to all of them and even the adults. It might be a bit corny but no matter what people will be having fun. That’s what’s important. The really great thing is all of this can be accomplished without breaking the bank and the decorations can be easily found. No worries about iron man stuff being sold out yet again.
At the end of the day, besides the cake, people will be looking towards what the food is. Now this all depends on if you want to stick to theme, how much you really want to do, and if you want a lot of it. You can easily stick to traditional barbecue and add a few things to keep it within theme. Most people immediately worry that kids aren’t going to want anything “exotic” but it doesn’t have to be to keep the theme rolling. Simple things like cutting up hot dogs and making a shish-kabob type meal out of them with simple added things that kids love like pineapple or cherry tomatoes. Just keep it simple for the kids and you will survive!
